This is the change log for ash (beta version) so that everyone can keep up with what's new...
08/03/2001
I recompiled ash with the new h220xtsr version 1.03.
08/02/2001
A few changes to mention.... ASH is now using ttstart... in place of
sstart. A bug was fixed where ash would expand an alias inside of a string. I also
worked on the auto start code a little bit. Now it will let a kernel start a program if
there is one installed instead of using ttstart.
07/22/2001
A small update to ASH: I forgot to include the ')' in the list of characters to
auto complete after... previous versions did that... but some how it was forgotten the
last time around when I was debugging some code.
07/15/2001
I wrote a program called sstart today. It is based on and will take the place of
start and ttstart. This saves 500 or so bytes and provides better error checking before
starting a program.
ASH no longer supports ttstart and start... use sstart instead. If sstart is not in main then ash will not attempt to start a program using sstart.
A preview of the NEW GRAPHICAL database editor is available. You can find it in English\Group\. It is called editdb. It is very intuitive for the most part. You can even use the var-link to paste into the editor... try it!
07/14/2001
ASH will no longer apply main\start or main\ttstart to a program's name if start
or ttstart does not exist on the calc. ASH auto completes after more characters now...
06/24/2001
Wow! Exactly one month since the last update! I have changed much of ASH's
internal structure. It is 2000 bytes smaller due to less inlining of functions; almost no
other visible changes otherwise. I also have a start on a GRAPHICAL (like yea!!!
dude!) database editor. That means that in the near future you won't need to
compile/decompile your database; just open the editor, make changes and exit!! ASH
binaries are available in English, French, German, and Spanish. Many thanks to those who
translated. When ASH reaches its first non beta release, the documentation will be
translated; right now it does not make much sence to translated the docs because things
change... I don't have much time now, so this may be the last update for a month or so...
I am gone fishing in Canada this week, so I won't be able to respond to email.

Fixed ash so that the shift + on key sequence will work when doors os is
installed. Now ash auto completes after +-*/^| and store arrow.
05/19/2001
I recompiled ash with Kevin Kofler's h220xtsr version 1.02a. This means that ash
should run correctly (read: won't crash) on hw2/ams2 calculators. We are very sorry for
that bug. Now hw2/ams2 owners do not need to have h220xtsr or hw2 patch installed before
installing ash.
05/14/2001
I fixed start so that programs such as yapt and makedb will not give you an
internal error. Those two programs and other programs that are similar (ones that take
arguments) were affected by that bug. It is important that you get this version of start
on your calc. If you have recieved an internal error from start when it attempted to run a
program, I Highly recommend that you reset your
calculator. I had some interesting experiences today during math class with start...
05/12/2001
Added some support for doors os programs - now ash will not try to use start to
run them, but will just finish the parenthesis if it is needed. So no more typing a :
before a doorsos program :)
I've also added the latest version of autoclbr; Kevin fixed it so it works with ams 1.0 now and it has some more features. I also added a folder for autoclbr in the support folder... I had forgotten to do that before...
05/10/2001
added support for auto complete text up to 254 characters when using the pop-up auto
complete dialog; previously it was 18 characters due to the limitations of the TI-OS and
my being slightly lazy :)
05/08/2001
corrected a small bug that I noticed with the auto complete pop-up menu. It
caused the text on the home screen entry line to dissapear if certain things were done. I
also made the installed size of ash slightly smaller (4 bytes)
5/7/2001
uploaded the first beta version of ash
