Ok then, howabout we make one dynamic library strings? The program
supplies ZShell the library name (as a string) and ZShell looks in the
one master string and executes the function. A program to add/delete
functions could be made for dos/linux. It wouldnt be the fastest thing in
the world, but then again, calling ZShell to compare stuff to jump isnt
the fastest either, i think it would be fine speed for a calculator. Of
course if you need a routine a lot, and its small, then you can put it
right in the program.
