A83: Re: Re: Re: Shells...
Well that has absolutely nothing to do with the first message (which is what
I responded to)....
Besides, I don't even have an emulator on my computer. I tried one once,
but I make good-sized programs intended for use with a shell (most useful
programs do) and I find it just as easy to use my calculator (which is the
best emulator you can get anyway!). If you're just playing around with rom
calls etc, then I could see how an unsquished program might be easier to use
if you use an emulator, but I think getting Send( from the custom menu is a
huge hemorhoid (S then down). Anyway, I like to use DevPac (it's a lot
easier to just press up then enter at the command prompt) and sending a
program to my calculator doesn't take very long at all (especially if it's
small). I don't usually have crash problems, so I don't have to send
anything other than the program (and possibly Install).
