Re: A89: Garbage Archiving
No, you misread or I wasn't completely clear... DoorsOS unarchives the
variable, meaning that at the end of execution it must be rearchived. I
stated that I wanted to not unarchive but just copy the variable. The
TI-OS does this. Instead of unarchive, you just copy into RAM, not
removing it from the archive. Meaning Garbage Collection would occcur
unless you were moving things around.
