[A83] Re: 3.0 prerelease base vti83



Ah yes, well the interface leaves a lot to be desired.  It was completely
stripped out of vti and then pieced together under the new emulation
features and debug code.  Please point everything out about it, but i'm sure
there's a lot more this stand-alone code missed.

I believe that's just part of the simplified flash interface that was
working a while ago, it wasn't 100% finished.  I'm going to really have to
check and make sure everything is there now as we didn't write any notes
down as to where it left off :)  Well, I know where it left off, on the
TI-89 stand-alone re-writing the core instead of using gnu cores. But the
83+ and  89 were different stand-alone codes.

Yes, I mentioned that, but in order for VTI to be fully useful again, I
believe a lot more is in order.  Talked to michael V. the other day and got
some useful insights to current top coder's needs.

> VTICapture works fine with this version.
Same skin code was used.  If I ever broke something like that, just let me
know and I'd fix it or re-write it for you.

yea, it's quite restricted, but i'm still not sure 100% what's not capable
on this just by adding some more source in.  Been a couple years. You can
load .clc files into this version.

Honestly, I never tried ;) Haha, was always testing flash roms, but yea.

Hrm, I'm sure it's a just something to do with not checking for it as
drag/drop over vti was used to install programs.  I'll fix it.
