Happy April First to all the BASIC programmers out there! :-)

And of course, happy April First to all the other people who visit ticalc.org.

Thank you! ;-)

I really don't like this...it's going to make it more difficult for files to be uploaded, and you're going to lose the archives you spent years acquiring.

You think every author reads this? Alot of files are six years old and their users have since disapeared from the internet.

If you want to save bandwidth on the basic programs.....why not just break down the page into 26 seperate pages, one for each letter? That'd be much better IMHO.

I guess if they were really going to do it, it would be better to go through and make sure that each file really works, and remove the bad ones rather than wait for someone to "invite" them in...

*cough*Look at the date*cough*

Anyway if they were really going to do that people would just submit their BASIC games at calcgames.org instead of ticalc.org

Calcgames is crap anyways, so let them deal with the BASIC progs.

>>Calcgames is crap anyways, so let them deal with the BASIC progs.
Hear, hear!

really? My stats go up a lot faster there, my stuff gets reviewed there, the people are alot nicer there, they have an ACTUAL FORUM there, a much nicer layout for links and such.

Hmm, I think calcgames to be better than ticalc in some aspects (like the mentioned forum)...

>>Calcgames is crap anyways, so let them deal with the BASIC progs.
Amen, bruther!

>>Look at the date

I know, that's why I said "*IF* they were going to do it". ;-)

There's also a bunch of crappy ASM progs in the archives too. A lot of them are obsoleted versions of newer progs that nobody bothered deleting. I've seen at least 5 "Marc the Superkid Demo" and two obsoleted versions of "The Verdante Forest RPG" that nobody bothered deleting.

Unrelated: It seems that nothing has been added to the MirageOS games section in couple months, maybe MirageOS has been obsoleted too...

Hmm, I was thinking about asking ticalc.org to merge my two version of the reign of legends 1 together (one of them is only in french) or just delete the old one, but I am afraid of doing it because last time I e-mailed ticalc.org I got 46 autoresponder@ticalc.org automatic replies for the following next 2 months so I'm not e-mailing ticalc.org anymore.

120d//!!!

And sometimes I get none...

Once NimbusOS is finished, MirageOS the shell will be obsolete. However, MirageOS format programs will still work just fine, and as I have yet to hear of a NimbusOS format I image MirageOS will stay a strong format for quite some time.

>>Once NimbusOS is finished, MirageOS the shell will be obsolete

Like I said before... MirageOS is already obsolete! The only real shell is ION!

>>I image MirageOS will stay a strong format for quite some time

Umm... Almost nothing is MirageOS formated and almost everything in the MirageOS section is ION formatted. ION is the only true format!

yes, but MIRAGE OS ROX!!! CUZ... umm... well, it has lowercase... and... umm... it looks cooler...

First of all, any number of programs can enable lower case. Secondly, lower case is a stupid idea to use outside of Notefolio, and MAYBE occaisonally in BASIC programs. Lower case letters are two byte tokens. Capital letters are one byte tokens. Hmm, I think the choice is obvious.

I Agree, that sux though that lowercase takes 2 bytes instead of one

I wonder if that email address bounces. Probably black-holes.

Probably does, you can try if you want ;-)

If I know ticalc, it probably forwards to another address.

I really want to know how many hits it got. :)
