Re: LZ: New TI-BASIC Compiler
because everyone's into this, here's my suggestion:
why don't a couple good programmers (id do it if someone helped)
write a small pc based development workbench that you could plug languages
into (i.e. Microsoft's development studio). That way, we could put
together asm, ti-basic, c, and anything else you could want in such a way
as to alow mixed language programming, library support and all that. Not
to mention a nice GUI. Just an Idea. if you'd like to help work on it,
please email me.

That would allow it to be as big as necessary. It could work similar to TASM -> actually, it could just generate Asm code and then call TASM to make the compiled code.
