There _is_ a standard OS for TI-82, the TI-OS!! Since it's built-in
in ROM, everyone has it, and there will never be any compatibility
problems!
If you want to know what I think about making _another_ OS, I think
it's a total waste of time. First of all, you can't write an OS in
TI-basic. Maybe you can write a set of subprograms that can be used
in other programs, but I wouldn't call that an OS! Even if you would
call that an OS, who needs a Win95 interface on a calculator?!! It
would inevitably take up most of the memory and I doubt many people
would find it worth to use it..
