That really clears things up :) Your right....if there were no TI-OS....it 
wouldn't be able to give you an error about the API. Although we are risking 
popularity if we couldn't run some of the popular ASM games or what not....so 
there is something to work out. Perhaps a conversion utility could convert an 
asm file to our own extension like .lin or something readable by a custom 
linking program. Also...would the calculator or say "computer" interpret the 
code the same as the computer running with a 68k chip? Also...the screen and 
hardware devices support would have to be redone...the lcd screen isn't a 
1024x768 @ 60 MhZ (that would be nice though) and it would have to have some 
built in support for the extended memory.
Anyone else have ideas (good or bad!)? Please speak up....it could make a big 
difference!
