Ben Mickle Releases Zip86
Posted by Nick on 10 November 1999, 16:45 GMT
Ben Mickle released a wonderful utility for the 86 recently called Zip86. It's used for compressing both assembly and basic programs on the calculator so you can fit more on. After they're compressed, you can run them like you would run any normal program. For those of you who don't understand the value of this, the 86's large amount of memory is effectively made much, much larger with the use of this program :).

I think the reason this is a newsworthy program, and not something similar for the 89 is because people expect more of a better calculator. I don't rember a news item about the first greyscale program for the 89. or even 8 level pictures, but mario greyscale for the 86 was BIG news.

Does anyone know how Lite86 compresses files. What is the compression scheme? I am working on a compression shell for the 86, and right now it only works with programs w/o program writeback. I am going to impliment 85 emulation, and if I can get the compression scheme, I will make 85 compression too!!
