Subject: A89: ASM in expressions -
2.04
Hello!
I was fiddling around with my
AMS 2.04 HW1 calculator yesterday, and I typed in "am()+3," that is, the ASM
program Another Mario, plus three. I expected it to give me an error
message, but to my suprise, Another Mario started right up! When Another
Mario ended (without returning a value to TI-OS, of course) I recieved the
error message "internal error." Then I tried this with a program that
does return a value, and found that on my calculator, ASM programs can be used
in expressions! TI must have realized their stupidity and changed this
in 2.04.
There is more to the
story, though. When I tried this on VTI, which is reported as a HW2
calculator on the "About" screen, I recieved the expected "Invalid program
reference" error. Can anyone else confirm that ASM programs can be used
in expressions on real calculators installed with 2.04? Or is my
calculator just a freak?
