Agreed. I don't think it's possible on the 85 - simply too little memory,
but as the sb reads this discussion is about the 86 which has enough memory
to do at least some s/m.

Sure, there is a C-port for the ti 8x.

Who talks about BASIC. The code should be written in z80 assembly or C/C+
and it *IS* possible though it would take A LOT of time to do the job -
that's CAS's are so expensive to buy and that's why I think one has not yet
been made for the ti-86 - how many people would buy the original problem?
