Re: A92: [tie] - TI expansion


AFAIK, David Ellsworth isn't programming Fargo anymore.  I haven't heard
from him in many months, maybe a year.

And if I were you, I wouldn't name your shell Fargo, for a couple of
reasons.

1.) Give respect to David, he probably doesn't want you to release something
with a name he thought up for his own shell.
2.) To limit the confusion in the TI community about shells.  As it is,
there are already half a dozen shells for the 89 already, and it would just
add to the confusion if some had the same name.

I believe that Fargo sources can be recompiled for PlusShell fairly easily,
without much modification.  PlusShell uses many libraries that are ported
from Fargo (such as the Util library being essentially the same as Flib).
But yes, I agree with what you are trying to say (I think), that programs
made for the TI-89/92+ can't be compiled for the TI-92.  It is a big mess
right now, and believe me - it will become a larger mess when AMS 2.00 comes
out.
