This is cool a new shell to run my new game. Speaking of my new game it has been submitted to ticalc over a week ago and is still in the queue. Do I have to be in the news to get a new program in the arhives now?

Hrmph, its all getting cleaned out :) Should be up soon if it hasn't already been gotten to. Sorry about the long delays(not my fault :) )

*ahem*

indeed. there is not much more we precious 89/92+ people could have got for christmas. as we are the most important TI people out there, it is only right that we should receive the biggest and best of the presents being given. i'm kidding of course, but DAMN if this isn't very very cool.

Thank you Xav.

IP ...and a very merry christmas to you too, you <other> TI user ]:-)

ChristmasOS II...I like that. :)

Gee, in the past 2 weeks there have been some major advances in things,huh? Ti release ams2.03,tistatle, Ti communtity goes berserk b/c of lack of games for 89/92/92+,Small fixes for ams 2.03 for games, few game releases, still wont work on hw2,ion released,ice released, new games for all calcs,ti relaease cabri geometry for 89 for $30(!!!)hw 2 libs, doors 0s updated.......And more to come!! Lets see how jumpy things are in January when the news updates are weeks instead of hours apart!!!

I did not have any luck with the new OS!!! I have AMS 2.03, and When I ran small (<8kb) programs from the home screen, it said "....or EXEC or APAP string too long", or something similar to this.

When I tried to run Doors explorer, the calculator reached an adress error, and we all know how much fun these are :~)

Finally, when using the "run" command, I would type in:
run(games\jezzball) and even tried run(games\jezzball()) (Jezzball was made for v.2.03)
But it gave the error: invalid program reference or
error: non-algebraic variable

Let me know if this works out for you guys!!

I havn't tried "run" yet, but "launch needed the argument to be in quoetes. Tried "run("jezzball")?

Got the same adress error . to use run , you must put the "" , run("jezzball") .

this'll still let me run all regular programs not ported, right?

All games must be ported first. The docs tell you how.

even if I didnt upgrade to 2.03?

I might be wrong, but I think that programs that were not ported to DoorsOS II still work with AMS 1.0x.

oh yes, I think one of the major parts that makes this newsworthy is the fact that 92+ users will now be able to use games on their 2.03 calcs. From what i read on the boards they didn't have a launch() program.

sweet begeezus I just looked at all the new programs that have been added. Merry Festavus to all

Jerry SUCKS, George RULES

amen to that

now the Test of Strength begins, pin George's dad or Festavus never ends

Boo yeah!

What about the grayscale fixes that have just been released? Do us hw2 users still need to replace the graphlib and gray4lib files, or is that not necessary with DoorsOS II?

I think the new libraries are still necessary!

I tried to run DoorsOS on my calculator and as a result I had to reset it five times in the last 30 minutes. Whenever I try to run the Doors Explorer the calculator freezes (I use run("doors") ).
I'm so pissed off at TI because of the 8k limit that I'm probably going to buy an HP49G. Or should I get an HP48GX (chaeper, memory cards, more software, no build-in CAS, slow, ...).

Why is everyone using that dumb "run" program? Just use SHIFT-ON like before and it should run just great. Also if you are still having problems its cause you got a Hardware Version 2 calc :P

I have a hardware version 1 calc. I know that because it came with AMS 1.00, it supports grayscale, does not display hardware version 2.0 in the about window, and because I got it last year (they did not have HW2 calcs in 1998).

hey, what happened to your website?

I'm gonna post a B-I-G update on Jan 1, 2000 that will shock the entire TI community... Oh wait never mind, I'm not.

I'm just gonna release a few progs that will (hopefully) be of some use to programmers!

Do not get the HP49G. Anything else is better.
