Great idea! Open-source shells for the TI-89! This would fix all problems
posted to this mailing list, like "I can't install the kernel, help!" - "My
calc crashes with DoorsOS, but not with PlusShell" - and more...
Xavier Vassor and Rusty Wagner, hook up and make a new shell with TI's SDK,
when it's finally released!
See ya,
Michael
