I use unixish OSes all the time. I have linux set up on a dual boot
with os/2 4.0. How can all you win95 users talk about "IQ Checks" when
you are using the sinlge most lame operating system ever. I understand
USGARD fully. I don't feel that it is complicated. I don't even think
that ease of use is a valid catagory in software review. In os/2
instead of dos-like command prompts I choose to use bash or zsh. The
problem with USGARD is that it is impracticle and has too much overhead
for a 28k calculator. There is exactly 28226 bytes free availble on the
calc. USGARD with shell (assuming you use the smallest one) takes up
almost 10% of your memory. Then you have to add about double that for
libraries in practicle use. I don't have a problem with the ideas
behind USGARD, just how and where it was implemented. And as far as
making programming easier, it really isn't (almost all the libraries are
just converted commonly availible zshell routines).
