Personally, I have been having no problems reseting my 89T's memory as of late. I think it must be getting tired of it!

It can't be getting tired of it, because every time you reset the memory it forgets all the previous times you reset it :)

In preparation for instances like these, it stores all its memories in the archive memory so it won't be lost. Having to un-archive something just to "remember" it, is a pain, though...

The average calculator user will find it useful because it has crash protection. Its a larger install compared to other TSR crash protectors, but its the only one that executes from flash.

Will there be an updated super start soon?

Hope life going good for you, it is for me.

good point sam :)
I had forgotten about super start.... as i recall it is finished and even includes lzma support (should that ever take off... i don't know)...

Does that mean you already integrated the 100% asm version of the ttpack decompression routine?

i don't think so... i didn't know there was one. The version I'm using IIRC is the one that is a combo of C / ASM... and it seems like the source was lost or something along those lines. where can i get a copy of the asm only version... i assume you had a hand in that :) ?

Wow Greg, you missed some great flame wars ;)
If you really want you can still find them.

Note that raising interupt priority is not part of the routine anymore, the caller can do that if they want the speed.

The fast version (568 bytes), that will decompress tichess in 0.58 seconds on my titanium:

The size optimized version (238 bytes), that will decompress tichess in 1.63 seconds on my titanium:

The super small version that you can't use because it was made specifically for the custom launchers generated by tigcc but I'll take the oportunity to brag that it is 204 bytes:

darn... flame wars :) what forum should i be looking in?

I think i'll take the fastest version :)

Abover url for the first one,

here's another

I bet I'm missing a bunch. Ez board got hacked and tons of data was lost.

hmm.. the C hex array in the tict tools suite is 291 shorts (582 bytes)... does it have extra, unecessary stuff in it?

There are two different ways the code can be compiled, with and without deltaLZ. There is a define 'DELTA_LZ' that can be commented out to remove this code.

you only need to include the deltaLZ code if the source data was compressed on the pc with the -fdelta flag. The exepack generator never uses this flag.

The above figure for the fast version is mistaken. I got it by compiling experimental code that includes the fdelta code and some experimental loop unrolling that didn't result in a measureable speed increase.

Removing this code results in a decompressor that is 538 bytes.

ok, so why is DELTA_LZ turned on by default?

The idea is that it would be 100% equivilent to the generic ttunpack routine. For a specific case like ttstart that doesn't need it, disabling it is fine. (The small versions were written just for custom decompressors, so they come with DELTA_LZ disabled by default)

Oh yeah, EEI's don't work with 3.01, and what does this mean (I've been wanting to ask for a while).

They are hints that could help you find the easter eggs hidden inside.

What easter eggs?

Oh, I get it!

But "Shift+G"?

I'm all "ABOUT" that one ;)

It Starts with a G.

No, that's not it, but it's really cool wenyou get it!

Did you see things move before your very eyes?

Yeah.
