Re: A86: Re: Re: version
why would the rom need to know what version it was?
the only reason i can see is if you find a bug and ti wants to know what
version of rom you have. in this case, it only has to be human-readable.
anything running on the calc should work the same on all rom version,
unless there's a bug.
they provided the page d jump table so programmers wouldn't have to worry
about rom versions.
