You ppl are forgetting one thing....HAL! It is a multiplatform cross
compiler for asm. But it isn't very useful. For one thing the authors
didn't work on it enough to make it fully compatible for all calcs. The
TI-82 was prolly the least suportive of it and the 85 the most. It had
very few commands. Most of the things are basic asm stuff which is easy
to learn anyways. But if someone want's to try another one go ahead.
But it will have to include way more stuff to really help out anybody
that doesn't already know straight assembly.
