I translated the french and it sounds ok.

What? What does that mean? Could you explain further....

Note the comment by Doziedo, thats what i meant :)

Seems good, although I don't know French it's not too hard to figure out what everything does. Very lagre though.

To do online translations, (Netscape only) drag the Web Page link into your toolbar. It will translate the active page.

To translate text, follow the link, but replace the URL with some text.

(yes, it's the same as the lame babelfish)

heh. One should never dis da fish. I will take a weird tough to get exact meaning over not knowing what a program is like or what info may help me :)


-Vejita(i speak the truth, stop hitting me nick, i finish)

Why are you dissing babelfish? I depend on that to do my Spanish homework!!!

roflmao!!!

If you don't like it, check these links out (Web Page).

Its a nice shell, but it is just too damn big! (>12k with everything)

then don't use it

Who said i did?

I saw this shell about a month ago, and played around with it. I too was disappointed that it was in French. I went to babelfish.altavista.com, and started translating the french asm source. But, when I tried to compile it, all the include files had weird characters as file names and it kept giving me errors. So I stopped. Looks pretty good though.

All you need to do is to translate the variables for the menu items to english

and leave the rom calls intact

Bad: Unstable, large, in french
Good:ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN AWESOME Graphics (Love the penguin background) resizable and windows, smoothe scrolling, configurable,an actual file sustem, no more program grouping, it has nested folders and file copy/paste. This is truely amazing. If someone would port it to english and fix some of the MANY bugs, it would be better than anything out for even the 68k calcs!!!

It might be better but it still takes up 85% of your ram... whereas I can archive, and it's only a drop in my bucket... :P

Oh, and I'm looking to port uCLinux to the 89...

Heh, you're right that this thing is obscenely huge, however, I'd like to point out that this shell, when installed, does *not* take up 80% of the 86's ram, it takes up roughly 21k out of the 96k of ram that is available to the user. And that obviously turns out to be only 20% (heh, "ONLY" you say, yes it is big, but not 80%). Get your numbers right ;). As for the 89's archive. Yes, I muct admit, the archive ownz all the other non-flash rom calcs, however, let's hope TI will come out with an 86+ with a even larger archive than the 89 ;)

Other things I would like to point out about Tinux. The multitasking that the author claims Tinux has is only when you have programs optimized for Tinux. This means that the program muct have a windowed interface similar to the program explorer (translated directly from french "Folders") and the configuration window. AFAIK there can only be 5 optimized programs running at the same time but I very seriously doubt the stability of this system, there has to be a check to make sure there is enough ram to have them open. 'Tis difficult but deffinately possible.

Now, for something all you non-francophones, it's quite hard to understand what anything does because the program is entirely in french. Welp buddy, either learn french or get someone to port it. Now, I think that this program will get a very warm responce from the 86 users (it certainly has gotten one from me) and finding someone who knows french and is good at assembly to port it into an english version should not be too hard.

Okay, this is very ironic. After I said "get your numbers right" and posted the comment, I noticed I stated that you said it took up 80% of the 86's memory. In reality you said 85%, sorry.

I wanna see the archive that'll beat what we'll (hopefully) have when ROM 2.00 comes out

Your comment about French ASM'ers reminded me of CLEM. He is French, and he's good at ASM. His Maze3D was a brilliant feat of programming, although it lacks replayability. I was wondering if he might be willing to port this.

Tinux is a really great shell - it's really cool to see something like windows on a calc. The only problem I've found (I speak french so the language isn't it) is that the program gives you an error when it tries to detect the program type of a locked BASIC program. I haven't tried it with programs for other calcs (some shells support them) yet, so that's the only problem I have with it for now.
