It doesn't matter if you edit protect them, people are still able to
un-edit lock them. The purpose of edit locking a program is so that
when a teacher puts a program on a calc, a student can't edit it. A
smart idea on TI's part. Could you imagine if you didn't have a TI
calc, and had to use a schools, but the student who used it before you
changed a line in it like s+m/->/w instead of s*m/->/w? I know what
you mean though, it really annoys me when people change something and
then call it there own. I think that if someone changes something,
they shouldn't say they made the program. As for edit locking them, I
see that as a pain. When I put a program on my calc's, I don't like to
have memory wasted for alot of names, but if a person is going to post
it on the Internet, that is a different story. Memory there is not
really a problem!
