TI-89 assembly language documentation



Thank you for expressing your interest in the TI-89 assembly language
documentation.  We are excited about this capability going forward and
we are pleased to share with you some extra information about what is
happening during the rest of this year.

We apologize for the delayed release of documentation regarding the
TI-89 (and TI-92 Plus module) "exec" command. Part of that is due to
us being very busy on major changes in the calculator to make it a
more open system. This new system code upgrade will be free to owners
of TI-89s and TI-92 Plus modules in Fall 1999 and will include the new
system capability for having downloadable applications.  Both the
TI-89 and the TI-92 Plus modules have very large Flash ROMs that will
allow significant application development.  Since this is requiring
such significant internal changes to the system, a fully developed
Software Development Kit (SDK) and documentation will not be available
until at least December 1999.

We do have a plan for some short-term documentation.  Today, (3/31/99)
on the TI web site (at http://www.ti.com/calc/docs/asm/8992p.htm) we
are releasing a small document specific to the "Exec" command on the
TI-89 and TI-92 Plus module.  On May 1, 1999 we will be posting on the
TI web site a partial list of system calls and their parameters.
Development tools and documentation for the new system is planned to
be available in December 1999.

For those of you interested in writing software for the TI-83 Plus
calculator, we have a team working on the system documentation and
development tools leading to a TI-83 Plus SDK release around September
1999.  Before that we are starting a beta SDK program starting in June
1999. In order to be considered for one of the limited initial copies,
please respond to calc-sdk-beta@list.ti.com by May 1, 1999.
