>Changes since 0.2.4 (taken from Fargo.txt):
>
>  * Fixed a bug in the Fargo 0.1.x compatibility module where modules that

>    therefore they would crash upon being run a second time.

>  * Reworked the Fargo 0.1.x compatibility module so that it now has romlib

>    the screen, without the compromise of flicker.
>  * Added strlen(), strncmp(), strncpy(), strcat(), and strchr() to the tios
>    pseudolibrary. Added ROM 1.5 support.
>  * Did another major overhaul of flinker. It now handles operand sizes and
>    error reporting even better (and more cleanly).
>  * Made some more modifications to A68k. It now properly differentiates
>    between PC-relative and absolute references to external symbols.
>    Incremented its version to 2.71.F2.


All this stuff is really kewl.. but.. I CANNOT ENJOY THEM !!!!!! :-(((((((
Please, WHY CAN'T I install the fargo on my Ti-92 !??! I've got ROM 1.10. after
I get the Clean-Backup from my machine and put fargo on it, i send it to the
calculator, but, all that happens is a RESET ! yes, my calc just goes Black on
the screen after the backup is sent. Nothing is there, nothing... I press
SHIFT+ON, I type shell() but nothing... This means that the core was not sent...
I had this problem to with fargo 0.1.x... The only way to resolve this was to
create an OLD type Backup (yes, those with 104Kb or so...)) The New method does
not work on my calc... please, HELP !!!!
