Re: TIB: ASM Utilities From BASIC
The program was just an idea someone had, but he had a bunch of
examples of what he wanted to do.
I have a question though: Would this just add functions or would it
also provide faster ones to replace the built in commands, is that
possible?
You know what Basic need: ANYTHING that can do faster graphics and
getkeys. The best thing would be key event traping (like Qbasic) but I
think that's pretty much impossible on a calc. Or easy access to asm
pics.
