Re: A86: Useful Information

Do you have any docs/notes/source you could post on your progress... i'd like to help figure out sqrtPARSE but i've no idea where to begin...

I doubt that someone would take the time to do that. If it were just
changing a value in memory, we would have a lot of screwed calcs
by now. It takes a good programmer and a little time to do something
like that. I doubt that a good programmer would waste their time.

  Nonsense.  It takes little time and not a lot of skill -- check the token for the token you want to override, and then give a new token back to the parser.  The only problem is finding out where to read and store the token ... I can only get it to display "Done" every time the calc trys to parse.
I agree with you, though: overriding constants is not a very worthwhile enterprise ... but there are other applications of [sqrt]PARSE that might turn out to be very worth your while  ;-)
