well, if ti thought about us programmers a bit more, they would've put the VAT
in the archive, so that all archived variables would still be usable after a
crash.  as is, the archived data is still there, but since there is no entry
in the VAT, the calc doesn't know they're there.  maybe the next upgrade to
the rom will move the VAT...
