Having a new, less buggy CAS for the Nspire is going to be great. TI will hate though. :P

Each CAS engine has it positive sides, each their negative sides. I'm not going to go into discussion of 'what is the best CAS engine' because I believe I do not know enough about how both function in order to give arguments. But I do give respect to both parties because they have done a very good job. TI's CAS engine too, it is not as buggy as people might say. Yes, it does have bugs, but every software has that. It is a very respectable CAS engine.

I'm far from bashing it. I've already used it and it works just fine but people seem to be complaining a lot about bugs.

And... nevermind, I found the issue : in 3.6, we have to use "nrequire" instead of "require", so Extended did the job well to workaround the problem explained by Jim :)

Thanks to Adriweb and critor, the 0.1 version of Khicas (Khi like the greek letter, looks like the X of Xcas, pronounce it like kick-ass) for TI Nspire all models OS 3.6 is now available here:
http://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~parisse/calc/khicas.zip
I'm now going to learn a little lua, I believe there is room to improve menus, online help, etc.

[Edit]: warning, running khicas during an exam where CAS calculators are banned is of course forbidden.

My OCD tells me to tell you that iirc the letter is Chi (at least I learned it that way :P). Cool to hear that you've released Xcas for nspire 3.6 :D Now I might have to upgrade my system after all.

It can be spelled both ways (but especially Khi in French :P).

Anyway... χcas

Oh, and this convinced me to upgrade to 3.6.

If that were true they'd say they had ported ndless to 3.9. But still, nice joke :P

My calculator (Nspire CX CAS 3.6) crashes and hard-reboots after I run Khicas. Any ideas?

Try having a "clean" RAM (reset button) before launching (I've had such crashes before, too)
