Re: A83: How is it that ION was made?


If TI wanted the info to be public, it would be (and frankly I don't see
why it isn't right now).
This is hopefully my last message for this thread, I'm getting sick of
being condemned because I wrote a shell... maybe I just keep it for my
private use next time, would that make you happy? I'm sorry for writting
such bad code. Lastly, I'm sorry I get annoyed so easily, but it is hard
not to when people don't have any tact.

On a somewhat related issue, I'm looking forward to programming my HP49,
which doesn't require a shell. How wonderful! Ion v1.1 will probably be my
last TI feat.
