A85: Functions for compiler

I'm looking for the following functions, in asm for the TI-85.  If
possible, I would like to have them for Usgard and ZShell, but preferably
ZShell.  Note I don't have any TSR stuff or any function that can only be
run on Usgard. If you'd like to send some of them (I might have a
spedific list later) it would also be appreciated.  And of course, I'd
like all of the functions to be as optimized as possible:  This is a text
file of things I'll have in the compiler so far.  I know alot of the
stuff, but none of it is written down or on file.  Once I get the TI-85
functions I'll soon port compatible functions to the other TIs.  I'm not
sure if there is sound for all TI calcs.
