A83: Re: problems with the 83+ ?
Ehh...well I'd say most things would be compatible, since they are keeping
the 83 and 83+ mostly compatible. However the .org for assembly programs
will most likely be different, since there is less ram. The direct input
wont change, the same value will still point to the same key, but the keys
may have different functions than they do now... The cbl thing is just a
program that comes on the calc, not anything that you can't take out. The
rom calls are probably more or less the same, since the only real difference
is flash. ...Or so thats what I think
