Actually, the TI-83 had 27 KB of RAM and a 6 MHz processor.

As a sidenote, the TI-83 Plus has less RAM than a TI-82. (user accessible)

Yeah I always found this sucked, because TI claimed most 82 programs were compatible with the 83 and 83+, while 83 programs ran on the 83+ (BASIC of course), but most large ones in fact don't run due to lack of RAM. The 82 has 28 KB, the 83 a bit less than 27K and the 83+ 24K. Kinda ironic too considering the newer the calc, the lower the RAM (the same thing happened with the Casio FX-cg10/20)

We can't even use the Flash memory readily; first, we have to delete the applications that are filling it and then we still can't run archived programs. TI is really mean.

It has to be unlocked too, right? Although I could understand that part, since it's extremely dangerous if you don't know what you're doing (such as deleting the certificate by mistake).

It's better to just ask TI to include support for running archived programs. And it has to be unlocked?

DoorsCS makes it much better. It copies the program to RAM, then runs it. It's safer too, since a crash would corrupt the copied program, if anything, rather than the original.

I believe DJ is referring to locking and unlocking Flash for writing. That would not be necessary for running Flash programs, IIRC. Apps still have to unlock flash to mess with it, implying it is locked while they are running.

Does DoorsCS let archived programs be called from another program (RAM or Archive)?

Nope. Only the first program you run does so. That's unless, of course, you use the libraries in Doors CS to copy archived programs in RAM the same way Illusiat 13 and some of my other games did.

or a small chunk of Asm in a helper program, that allows you to use TIOS's archive and unarchive commands.

There's lots of options
