That is correct. You will still have to send a backup. However, there is a
new system for catching control wich may significantly reduce the size of the
backup that needs to be sent. David mentioned that Fargo 0.1.13 fits in a 40K
backup file now (instead of 128K file).
It IS possible to send backups between calculators, but this requires an
assembly program. Also, since different ROM versions have different data in
their backups, it is a complex and space consuming process to decide what data
to send to the other calc. Unless the two calcs are the same ROM version, I
don't see this as a feasable project (I was researching it for a possible
project).
