maybe this makes up for the fact that you haven't given them a single news report... :)

"Them"? I wish... I'm actually all alone on this project, or at least so far... :o)

lol - maybe you have multiple personalities?

Anyway, good luck - i have no idea what your project is, really (i'm no great programmer), but i hope it turns out like you want it to.

Oh yeah, and I think you should make the documentation available on your site to d/l. I'm sure you'd get some people who wouldn't want to d/l the program, but would just be curious as to what you're working on and what it does, etc...

I will make it available - when it's finished. I've done too much programming and too little documentation lately, so it's way behind. That's why I took the opportunity to rewrite it from scratch (more or less) in a better format.

woa, sorry about that. i thought it was a group project...

Nice, it was about time. PROSIT RULES!!!!!!!!!
Yea, thats right. I said:

PROSIT RULES!!!!!!!!

Yeah!!! Prosit rules... I'm *GLAD* u redid the Manual... i've been getting some funny errors with asm 4 Prosit! lol. too bad i am a crappy programmer! lol

DooRZ RuLeZ!!!

Yeah for Prosit! Yeah for Prefect! Yeah for ticalc.org _finally_ saying something about the best thing to happen for TIs!!!

what is prosit exactly?
sorry but task switching doesnt make 100% sense what is meant by that?

It means that Prosit as of yet doesn't have such things as guaranteed execution time, process priorities etc. All processes have the same priority so they get an equal amount of time to execute in every time they get CPU control.

This means that as you load more processes (at least ones that don't sleep()) the overall system gets slower.

I will probably implement these things sometime, but mucking about in the most central part of the whole thing isn't good right now as I'm trying to make a good GUI first ;o)

I think Elias meant what is the concept of task switching. That means Multitasking, more specifically, switching from one app to another. Press Alt+Tab on a Windows machine and you'll see what I mean. Of course, it's possible that I misunderstood...

evan no misunderstanding..... you know i didnt know about alt tab til my mouse went out then i needed to know about it and mouse keys ect... know how dificult it is to use a comp w/out a mouse i act. was getting pretty good...

Now if there'd be stuff like that for the 85/86 platform... it's not impossible.

Amen! and word to your respective mothers.

Well... I'd imagine it'd be alot more difficult on an 85/86.. for one, there isn't as much ram as there is on the 89, and the 85/96 have a 6mhz processor, while the 89 has a 10mhz processor. I'm sure it could be done for the 86 and all, but I doubt it'd be worth the trouble.. the calculator would run out of resources to quickly for the shell to be of any good use.. atleast in my opinion.

I just downloaded prosit and it looks excellent so far, but what good is it? I can't run any programs...
Yet (hopefully). Are you working on programs for prosit or will prosit eventually be able to run other programs. Also, will prosit ever run without DoorsOS?

It might run DoorsOS programs, but that won't happen until Prosit gets its own kernel (which at the moment seems unlikely, but you never know). As long as it runs on top of DoorsOS you have DoorsOS available to run DoorsOS programs from :-)
