Re: LZ: New TI-BASIC Compiler
i personally agree with the fact that TI-BASIC would be kinda useless. as
far as developing a c++ compiler for the ti, let's see someone put all
that parsing and tokenizing into 32K of memory with enough of the memory
left to hold the object code and the finished program. Also, remember, no
one is going to use something that takes up 90% of their memory (ahem
usgard with the fancy shell and all the libs -- i happen to like the small
shell a lot tho)
