Re: A85: Usgard and some other stuff...
I myself cried out to Andi for 0.95 support in 1.0, but it was not worth it
at all. Usgard 1.0's source code was rewritten and optimized from 0.95
(very extensively, as I understand it), and to add that support would have
made Usgard 1.0 much too large.
A lot of good things proved to be unworkable. I suggested ZShell support be
put into a FAKELIB, and I was told that it'd already been tried. ;)
Too bad, though... I did rather like 0.95's Explorer program. Perhaps I'll
port it some day....
Don't look for it any time soon, though: first I'm going to write my first
ASM program from scratch (that is, without USUL). It'll be a Usgard port of
my TI-BASIC Gradebook program
(http://www.ticalc.org/pub/85/programs/gradebk.zip).
Lastly, thanks so much for all the pointers to grayscale stuff, too! :) I
didn't think Jimmy Mårdell's site had info on it. Nice to get the quick
response I'd hoped for. :)
