That's actually not completely true. Most 82 things will run with no
problem on an 83. But a lot oftimes you have to rewrite sections of code
when you port to the 83. Also, a friend of mine wrote up a list of
changes form the 82->83. A couple such notable changes:
Equ. Op. Sys.: different order of operations--implied multiplication
is with mult. and div., so 1/2X=.5x, not 1/(2X)
Angle notation is 12(degree symbol)34'56", rather than 12'34'56'
Comm. Link:
SEND lets you start off with All selected or All deselected, as well as
displaying only the Prgms, Lists, Pics, etc. to be sent.
But, only L1-L6 may be sent to an 82, and anything after the 99th element
will be removed.
RECEIVE:
The 83 can receive anything from the 82, with some differences; see the
Sequential Mode section for variables which will change name in transit.
But some expressions, such as the Un and Un-1 on the 82, cannot be
translated to u(n) and u(n-1) on the 83, and must be changed by hand.
Also, the 82's functions will convert to ones with an open '('; these
resulting causes of miscalculations must be fixed by hand.
Example: sin X+5 on the 82 will become sin(X+5 on the 83. Also, the
implied multiplication change may cause problems.
BACKUP: you can not backup an 82 to an 83 directly.
