o well...

Omnicalc really looks like a nifty little program. This should act as an excellent reach to 83+ BASIC programmers everywhere!

Geez, Omniclac sounds great by when I tired to install this bugger, it said I needed OS v1.13. Luckily I still have v1.13 OS file but if I where to have this omnicalc to my program, downloader would need v1.13 as well as omnicalc... I think that's really inconvinent to downloaders. I hope you guys at detach would remedy this program really soon...

Great program though... but I wished you guys had more stuff like Shutdown, contrast, auto alpha, small case letters, and some sound programming in it.

isnt os v1.13 required for all apps? i think ti's site says that you need 1.13 for all their apps.

sorry, i was wrong. i really should check the ti website before i say things.

os 1.14 is requierd

I think they should make a 3.14 os. Don't you? I'd certainly buy the calculator model with that os if they had that. I'm weird.

Nothing new there ... but instead of a 3.14 os, they should have a 3.43 os. Maybe I'm the wierd one around here ...

That'd be great! What about OS chick.en^dude

How about v4.20?

I think we're getting a little off topic again

WHo cares?
Vive OS 3.43!!

I went to a baseball game last night, and someone had a batting average of .343!

^_^ I like that!! ^_^

Whatta... I've started a topic about disadvantage on Omnicalc and it came out to baseball batting average? Can someone tell me what's going on!!

happens all the time

Isn't a surprise to us regulars ... besides, there's only so much you can say about an app for the 83+ ... not to say that Omnicalc is bad, just the 83+ is bad.

Vive OS 3.43!!
Vive le TI-86!!

The 83+ isn't bad with omnicalc installed!

It isn't bad with Omnicalc installed, but that's relative to it's original status. The 86 is still better. I know, I know, I like the 86 TOO much. But who cares? It's still better than the 83+. ^_^

OS 2.71

Well, I've never seen/played around with the 86, so I don't know what it's like. Still, I'm sure it has more options and such (hence 86, which is higher than 83+(2.99999999999))

To correct you, the correct way to represent the positive difference between between 83+ and 86 (assuming that the + means .000000000000000....etc. with a one (presuming it is meant that way)) would be:

2.99999999999999999 99999999999999999 99999999999ETC.

without dots, the etc., or putting a line over the 9 would mean that the decimal is less that an integer, and screw up the equation, making it false.

No, what I said is still true. 86 is higher than 83+2.99999999999!

I second that!

"but I wished you guys had more stuff like Shutdown, contrast, auto alpha, small case letters, and some sound programming in it."

OmniCalc isn't a shell, once you've installed it, you return to TI-OS, so, you can do contrast. It also provides shutdown (press and hold ON, then press ALPHA) and you can enable/disable lower case letters from the options menu (and alternative fonts).
I don't know what you mean with "auto alpha", and I never understood the use of sound.

I think he means in the actual program.
maybe a commadn called Shutdown(0) would turn the calculator off in mid-program.
like:
Pause "press enter to turn off"
Shutdown(0)
Pause "now it's back on"

Autoalpha could be a command you could put before input "",str1 that turns the alpha command on automatically, so you don't have to press 2nd alpha.

There are some ASM programs that do that.
