   perhaps there is another way to emulate zshell rather than emulating
the whole calc.  Say maybe you could make an compiler to convert zshell
source code to fargo source code (the output code would only display on
123 x 64 part of the screen in fargo). You can write in c for both the 85
and 92, then compile in to fargo or zshell using small c or TIC. By the
way practice what you preach its necessary not neccesary.
