Re: A89: hiscore.ini?
Well, I'd hate to think of all of the space wasted by highscores no longer wanted on my calculator.
How about an option to remove the highscore when the program is deleted? That way I can remove the
highscore of a game that I will no longer play, and you can keep the highscore of a game that you
are temporarily removing from your calc.
I meant have the highscore read/write/check program as a seperate file from the shell/OS, so it's
more like a library- highscr.lib
