Compressed programs would be cool. I wonder if there would be risks that some files ends up being larger, though, and if it would be hard to implement...

As for test mode, if it's added, you should make it so after an hour or two, test mode is automatically disabled, in case the teacher won't bother disabling it at the end of the test.

What about a time choice? Some tests take longer than others, and teachers will complain. Plus, it saves the trouble of unlocking it earlier since the teacher and student know it takes exactly the duration of the test. For instance, the ACT takes about 4 hours.

I once on my nspire (in 84+ mode) got it really messed up by recalling strings larger than RAM and accidentally stuck it in test mode by running this

One thing, though, is that we would need to make sure time still decreases while the calc is in sleep mode. On 84+ calcs this wouldn't be a problem, but we have to think about 83+/83+SE users who got no clock.

There could be a special sleep mode that just turns off the LCD and keeps the timer going.

Oh yeah, since it's event-driven, how about keeping the calc in as low-power a state as possible when nothing's happening?

Cool but why is there no assembly program support in the 2011 dev version? I can think of some reasons my-self but since it's your project I'd like to hear it from you, Sir. Anyway, there will be assemly support later on right?

Otherwise you'll be executing who-knows-what. :P

You back up and use an emulator ;)
That way, RAM clears are not a problem (nor is anything else except the rare archive corruption)

I know, i backup, but RAM deletes and I have to compile something like 7programs in a row lol

If those 7 programs must be in RAM, compiled, you can always use a group ;)
Anyway, for KnightOS, Sir plans to have no RAM-based file system anyway, so RAM clears are less of a problem.

RAM clears won't even be a problem, they'll be standard. i remember Sir saying RAM will be cleared everytime you turn off the calculator.

So the VAT'll be in archive too, right? Or will it search through flash for each file each boot?
