Re: A85: My problem with libraries
If you used the MLP method instead of the custom menu you could run asm
programs like basic programs. If you did this the shell would only have to
included the rom calls and the calls/jump. All in all this would mean a
very small shell, and it should be possible to make it ZShell compatible.
(If you donot know MLP it was discussed on lza sometime ago, and it is the
method used for the ti82 asm shell Ash.)
