The reason that it doesn't work for grayscale progs is simple: When running
a grayscale program, the I register (that holds the high byte of the address
to where the interrupt should call) is changed thus disabling GWiz. There
may be a way to get around with it, but that will be VERY HARD, and I won't
try...


I'll post the source to www.ticalc.org, because I don't know if I will continue
on it. I've released that saving/loading games is much harder than I first thought.
You must save a lot of things, like the whole stack for example, plus all temporary
variable, the LCD mem and more. A saved game will take about 4k I believe. Well,
maybe it's worth it...
