Mallard v0.2
-------------
March 20,2005

Mallard is designed to be a lightweight shell for the TI-73. It has been designed to occupy a minimum amount of your precious TI-73 RAM. Mallard requires OS 1.60. This is a BETA version and may crash.


INSTALLATION
============

Send mallard.73b to your TI-73 with TiLP (http://tilp.info/index.php) by clicking on "Restore." Please note that the backup will erase all data currently on your calculator.

After installing Mallard, you will notice a matrix [A] which appears to be taking up a large amount of memory. Do not delete this matrix - it is necessary for Mallard's operation. The matrix is only actually using about 8 bytes of RAM.


USAGE
=====

To start Mallard, go to the homescreen and run prgmA. The Mallard shell will then start and display a list of all Mallard-compatible assembly programs that are on your computer. If there are no such programs, you will be immediately returned to the homescreen.

Keys:

Up/down arrows - Scroll up/down the list of programs
Enter - Execute the currently highlighted program
Right arrow - Next page of programs
Left arrow - Previous page of programs
Mode, Clear, or 2nd+Quit - Exit Mallard and return to the homescreen


VERSION HISTORY
===============

v0.1 - March 15, 2005 - First public release.
v0.2 - March 20, 2005 - Mostly added more documentation for developers
