Can someone please write me a subroutine in assembly that will send to another calc, without the other being in receive mode. The variable to be sent should be written into Ans at the sending calc. So for instance:

"L1
subroutine

would send the variable L1 to the other calc and store it as L1. I hope this is possible and quick to do. Thanks all.

I think Omnicalc( send/receive commands actually sends 1 byte unsigned integers, right?

But Omnicalc usage == no xLIB/Celtic possible

Any luck with this so far?

Well, I need it to send at most a list with <25 slots, each of which contain only integers 0-255. What exactly do you mean by "disabling interrupts" (I think I know, I just want to be clear). Then, I can tell you.

I'm fine with disabling interrupts. As for 400 times, I wouldn't care if we had to talk to it 100k times (unless you had to code that many times). If its not too much, I'm ok with what you suggest. Thanks.

Ok. Thank you much. Once done, I'll need proper info to credit you for this subroutine.

I'm not super stringent on getting the proper credit, but if you really care, give credit to Drew DeVault.
What exactly are you sending, out of curiosity?

I wish this was implemented in Celtic III, because the Asm( command alone takes 0.25 seconds to execute. I heard it's due to having to search the VAT or something before running the program.

-Load about 80 programs in your calculator (it doesnt matter if they're archived or not, as long as there's enough space for the following):
-Then install Celtic, Omnicalc or xLIB on your calc.
-Then install CODEX.
-Make a Random 8x8 sprite and store it to pic0
-Make a program to fill the entire graph screen with that sprite using Celtic/Omnicalc/xLIB using the Sprite display command, no tilemapper command.
-Make the equivalent for CODEX.
-Now compare the speed of both sprite displayers and notice how incredibly slow the CODEX version is, and it's not CODEX fault, as the 8xp version of xLIB did that too.
