for the longest time, i didn't even know that you COULD display text using the Pause command. I just used Disp, then Pause with no argument

same with me, quasi. and i was so confused whenever i tried to optimize using Ans.. and right after Pause statements i'd get syntax errors... then i read the TI|BD article on the pause command and found out Pause, ever so TI-like, updates Ans. why it's the only text outputting command that does i will never know.

Yeah, I even considered re-using it later. I never understood why I never did. It may have been because I did not want the calc to go in pause mode, altough eventually I didn't mind. I was amazed when I found out about Pause "txt". My TI manual was not clear on that.

I always wondered why some tricks (Like Text(-1) are undocumented.  Does TI not know themselves?

The chance of that occurring accidentally is extremely low. More likely is that it was a test feature or something that never became official, just like native Asm on the 73 and 83.
Edit: True, the code had to be unsquished and specially formatted, but better than nothing.

Yeah, to me it seems more like test features that were not implemented and they did not bother removing them, like debug rooms in video games. On the regular 83 without the Plus, there was no Asm( token, but you could run no-stub ASM programs using Send(9prgmNAME) (note, the 9 is not a typo).

Errrmmm... I uploaded a quadratic solver to ticalc.org... :D I also did a 10000th version of ptools. With LESS features. :P

And as a response to thepenguin's posts on the first page: OS modification is easier than you think, but ld is not gonna work :)

* DJ Omnimaga demotes Mapar from staff

j/k XD

I never uploaded my math programs to ticalc.org, even when I wasn't that aware of their archives flooded with crap (not to mention back then they didn't even have 20000 files), because I thought they would be useless outside my province, due to different school systems. Plus they were in French, so they would have got a much smaller audience.

Lol nice XD

Btw since distributing such OSes is against the rules, but not entire OSes written yourself, remember that if you ever make a modified calc OS with enough modifications making it worth it for the rest of the community, or fixing errors TI did, you can simply use Lunar IPS on ROM hacking sites and create a patch of your OS. You take the original then the modified version. Later, people can use Lunar IPS or any other IPS patcher to apply it to the copy of OS 1.19/2.43/2.53 MP they download from TI website. The patch will only contain your own code, nothing from TI, thus, making it legal to distribute outside TI website.
