Re: TI-H: universal calc issues
Well, a couple of crucial elements would be graphics handling, since
this is done differently on the 8x's. What I wonder about is the screen
size difference. The only way I can think to handle it, is let the
program poll how large the screen is, or program for the smallest screen
size, although this would leave a lot of white space on a larger screen.

It will include a universal code system that will eliminate the need for recompilation of binaries for each calc, and will hopefully be a bit smaller than usgard. I need recommendations as to what users want, and you guys represent the largest pool of calc-savvy people. Any recommendations will be taken quite seriously.
