Actually, it was written by the same people, but is not the same. Why?
Because DOS-based programs (even the source) is not compatible with the
92's processor. I would have to assume Derive was written in C, while
the 92's symbolic manipulation software was written in ASM or whatever
the built-in software was written in. I'm sure the 86 will have
symbolic manipulation soon enough.
