I was transfering some zshell games to my 86 from my friend's 85 (isn't
emulation great?!) and I had a couple of questions:

1) Why do the newer versions (I am running 1.0) of ASE corrupt zshell
strings?  Well, not actually corrupt, but ZShell gives ***BAD CHECKSUM***
error.  I think it has to do with how it stores which group it's in.  If
that's all, could someone write an oncalc prog to fix the checksum?  (might
be a nice project for me to learn z80...)

2) Since you can backup your 85 to the 86 (IMHO, a feature TI should have
left on the 86 when linking to the computer), what would happen if you (try
to) send ZShell or another shell to the 86?

Thanks,
