ANNOUNCEMENT: Fargo 0.2.5 released



Changes since 0.2.4 (taken from Fargo.txt):

  * Fixed a bug in the Fargo 0.1.x compatibility module where modules that
    used the 0.1.x kernel pseudolibrary would not properly unrelocate;
    therefore they would crash upon being run a second time.
  * Fixed a bug that caused Fargo II programs to load whether or not their
    required libraries were found, often causing crashes.
  * Fixed a bug that caused LCD_MEM not to be saved and restored after a
    module failed to load.
  * Took the Fargo 0.2.0.x compatibility module out of the distribution. If
    anyone wants it back, please contact me.
  * Reworked the Fargo 0.1.x compatibility module so that it now has romlib
    integrated with itself. If romlib is present in the "oldfargo" folder, it
    will be ignored. Also removed the checking that caused the Fargo 0.1.x
    compatibility module to refuse to work on incompatible ROMs.
    WARNING: If you install the Fargo 0.1.x compatibility module on a TI-92
             with a ROM version (such as 2.1) that was incompatible with Fargo
             0.1.x, all the Fargo 0.1.x programs you run will have to have
             been specially patched to work with your ROM! Otherwise your calc
             will most likely crash.
  * Fixed the sprite test program so that the sprite is visible everywhere on
    the screen, without the compromise of flicker.
  * Added strlen(), strncmp(), strncpy(), strcat(), and strchr() to the tios
    pseudolibrary. Added ROM 1.5 support.
  * Did another major overhaul of flinker. It now handles operand sizes and
    error reporting even better (and more cleanly).
  * Made some more modifications to A68k. It now properly differentiates
    between PC-relative and absolute references to external symbols.
    Incremented its version to 2.71.F2.
