I read that in ASM 28 days, smc isn't saved in an ASM program because the program is copied to $9D95.  This, of course, means that there's 2 copied of the same ASM program in the calculator's memory.  What happens if a person tries to run an 8 KB ASM program when then calculator's memory is almost full?

It gives me a memory error.

Obviously, not enough space. Can the program be archived?

I'm not exactly sure what your are saying, but here is how it works. When you run a program, either a BASIC with prgm, and ASM with asm(, or even an asm with bcall(_executePrgm), it gets copied from where ever it is to $9D95. The program can be in flash, or it can be in ram, either way, space is allocated at $9D95 and the program is copied there. When it is done executing, the OS just deletes that memory and it is is gone, which is why smc doesn't change the program. Also, since memory must be allocated for the program to be run, if you don't have enough ram left, you will get an ERR:Memory.

Sometimes I wonder if TI is actually just letting us have fun by purposefully leaving things up to us to come up with... I mean, seriously, they have it in the OS to be able to do this yet it isn't implemented... sheesh.

And that is why I love my 89 <3
