Yea, if someone made something like that it would be better as an
application.  BTW, an on calc BASIC compiler would be one of the only apps
that I would ever buy.  The compiler that I posted previously is 73k,
without an assembler.  Since BASIC is a much more defined language then C,
I bet you could fit the whole thing in under 70k, but who knows.  Does
anyone know how much space is free on the 89's ROM?
