One other thing I forgot to mention.  What sort of routines are we in
search of?  I mean, complex mathematical routines (floating-point
arithemtic) would most likely be rarely used in asm.  Aren't the
location of some of the math routines documented by TI for the 86?  IF
they are (and you had someone dump the ROM for a particular routine on
the 86) you could search for a similar block of code on the 85 (they
probably reused much of their code).  The routines I would be interested
in finding would be any variable related routines.  Like how the
calculator repacks memory upon deleteing a variable.  The 85 also does
some sort of shifting of the RAM.  Any code such as this could be used
in a relocator routine in an OS, saving a lot of coding and memory.
