<< Now that the new emulator's out I've started working on assembly games for
 the 89 - I've got a fair amount of experience with Z80 ASM (anyone play
 Poker86? Still needs optomizing. . .) and I've got a few questions I'm
 hoping you guys can help me out with:
 
 1) It took me an hour just to get the assembler working - I kept on getting
 some "unrecognized character" error in the included files.  I eventually got
 around it when I used Plusshell's asm89 batch file (should have read the
 documentation on how to use that =), but why were those errors occuring in
 the first place?
 
 2) Which shell does everyone here use, and which do you prefer to program
 for?  Which set of libraries should I use (ie, Doors' Graphlib or
 Plusshell's Gray4Lib)? I know that both are supposed to be compatible, but
 I'm not going to test it individually with each shell. . .
 
 3) It seems that the 89 and 92+ are almost the same right down to LCD
 Memory -- what are the major differences, other than the ROM Calls and
 reading from the keyboard? I see that there's some 89 emulation code
 commented out in the plusshell source. . .
 
 
 So far I've managed to get my sprite displayed wrong and crash the emulator
 more times than I can count - any help would be appreciated =)

Speaking of emulator: Can we send asm programs to the emulator without first
having to send them to your calc then to the emulator like we did with other
calculator emulators?
