Refer to the message posted last night regarding my questions on linking..
the port_7.txt and other stuff on TICalc tells about it. Although it
doesn't make a large amount of sense the first few times over..

You type the asm file in an editor (vi, pico, emacs, notepad, edit, etc)
and save it as plain text. Then you feed it to a compiler (TASM, Table
Assembler, should be available as shareware on TICalc somewhere and does
the Z80 in the TI-85 nicely) and you get an object file. Then you remove
the .obj extension and run it through the string85 program included in the
ZShell 4.0 zipfile, and you walk away with a nice .85s file. Transfer that
to the calc, and see if it crashes. :)

I'm going to teach everybody a Unix trick. Lots of internet servers are
unix-based (or clones) and usually follow the same naming pattern. If a
person has an email account on a server, they probably also have a web
account on that server. Like mine: gregh@xmission.com. Unix servers like
to put a /~ before the username to indicate their home directory for web
stuff. So my home web directory is www.xmission.com/~gregh/. It works the
same way with Grant's page: gussie@alaska.net so it is a reasonable guess
that his page is probably at www.alaska.net/~gussie/. If you go look
there, you'll find it.
