Huh? Encoding process shure is ASM. whew, that has alot to do with
TI-92 ASM. I thought this group was for Fargo-related ASM, not indulging
into ROM routines and how the TI-92 tokenizes files.

There are almost 300-500 commands to the TI-BASIC code, while ASM has
57 viable instructions with 14 addressing modes, most of which do not have
any correlation to its TI-BASIC counterparts.

SP? huh? Smashing Pumpkins? So you've wrote emulation routines?
but still don't know ASM, hmmm, that's weird. 92b files don't say any
thing. What do they say? It all only contains data. In fact, when the
TI-92 tokenizes the code, it still is emulated, not translated into ASM.
Only the ROM contains viable ASM instructions.
Thank you, have a nice day.
