In response directly to "Can't do _that_ with your 83!", thats because a
Working version of such a utility for the 83, even a patch for AsmStd, has
yet to be completed... ;)
IMHO, the 83 is easier for me because I owned that calc at the time I was
learning asm, and didnt have access to any emulators. The 86 isnt _easier_ to
program for than the 83, there just happens to be more knowledge of the 86,
and resources for programming for it...
