Re: A85: Re: Ticalc bias
I agree that there are way to many shells out there right now & I can't
believe more are still being made. What is the most annoying it that
all of the new shells think that they are so awesome that they have to
have games that only run on them. The only answer to the problems that
have been created by all of these shells is too have the writers of the
shells get together & add all of the shells individual special features
into one shell that would have that neat memory trick that PhatOS has
where you can convert strings to different types and then display them
on a separate menu, the interface of Usgard (the shell I use) because it
is so darn good, the size of Rigels, but most of all it would have to be
able to run all of the games that were written for each one of the
shells currently in existence. And if you are currently writing a new
shell for the TI-85 STOP & make a game.
