I think it became a huge competitor of MirageOs and Noshell/Calcutil now.

The only thing that is at DoorCS disadvantage now is the APP file size. People who just want to run ASM games may still opt for the 1 page app shells or even Ion. However I think now DCS will have an even bigger audience, even for people who dislike mouse controls, since it is now possible to browse the menu without using the mouse cursor

Really? That's good to hear!

I wonder, though: Does DoorCS7 + Metroid II Expansion fits on a regular 83+? I remember that game was quite large

Glad to see more progress and bugfixes, and yeah Bah at TI

Bah TI. Why did you do this?  And what did they do to OP1?

At this point I've heard overwhelming chatter that people are willing to sacrifice 3 pages for the features of two or three or four apps, especially as fewer TI-83+s with their limited Archive space are in the mix.

I know this is what's going on my sister's calc (my old 83+) once it's bug free.
Great job on this Kerm!

In my school, there are more 83+ users than 84+ users.
but then, no one codes on theirs so they don't feel the need for faster and bigger-memory calculator

so 2 years ago, for my birthday present, I traded my ti-83+ with my friend's ti-84+SE Win-win

This beta of Doors CS 7 adds many bug fixes, performance improvements, and compatibility workarounds over Doors CS 6.5 beta, although it implements no major new features. It adds the ability to recognize and automatically edit Axe source code files, more keyboard shortcuts, including the ability to leave any GUIRSmallWin by pressing [CLEAR], and fixes issues with renaming and copying programs. It repairs several known XLib compatibility issues, and importantly, works around the TI-OS parser hook bugs in OS 2.53MP and 2.54MP. It adds a fix for the long-standing problems with Stop and shells, catching and handling this token. It adds the RunProg vector to allow ASM programs to execute one or more ASM or BASIC programs, or even chain execution along several programs. Finally, it adds true support for up to 255 files, programs, and folders per folder (including the desktop), for virtually unlimited total files on a calculator visible from Doors CS.  Among many other smaller tweaks and bugfixes, all of which can be viewed on the Doors CS wiki, the following list hits the highlights of this release:

:: Added custom icon for Axe source files, with ID flags identical to nostub BASIC program; added check to edit Axe source files when executed instead of trying to run.
:: Fixed Instant Goto failing when scrolling backwards through two-byte tokens ending in $3F such as $AA,$3F.
:: Pressing [Clear] from any Small Window now clicks its [X], if it has one.
:: Added hourglass for sorting, archiving/unarchiving, folder backup, and copying back after ASM execution
:: Avoided ridiculous failure of _PutC to recognize Split->Full in 2.53MP for DCS error messages.
:: Solved problem of catching Stop token with nonexistent error 127 and special-case silent handling within DCS.
:: Debugged, fixed, and tested workaround for 2.53MP's improper post-ParserHook flag/Op1 handling.
:: Resolved one many-programs bug by tracing it to CALCnet2 in DCS6.1/6.2. Bug repair pending reactivation of CALCnet.
:: Added folder backup before program execution (from desktop only).
:: Added and tested Runprog vector. One display bug remains.
:: Added GUIFindThis and PushGUIStacks routines.
:: Fixed all sections calculating remaining/onscreen programs from ProgsToDo and ProgsDone to correctly handle >127 programs.

The next Doors CS beta, Doors CS 6.7 Beta, is scheduled for release by July 4th, 2010.  Other than the standard routine of collecting bug reports (please do it!) and repairing them, I hope to have a full spec of Doors CS' libraries that it will offer BASIC programs to be ready so that they can be implemented by Doors CS 6.8 Beta.  Please read and participate in the forum topic about BASIC and Doors CS libraries, particularly if you're a BASIC programmer who would be interested in working with files, GUI rendering (and possible mouse use as well), fancier menus, and more.  If I manage to get to my eventual goal of working CALCnet 2.x into something fast and efficient and functional by the time Doors CS 6.8 beta or 6.9 beta is ready, then I might even give BASIC programs access to that, although that might be a big challenge.  Please check out that topic and post your opinions, I need to make the planned BASIC libraries as useful as possible in as little memory as possible.

Finally, we're planning a Doors CS-themed Cemetech Contest #7, with a very generous offer of a unique top prize from the inimitable BrandonW: possibly the only TI-83+ in the wild with no limitation on executing at or above $C000 (actually a TI-73 Cameleon'd to be a TI-83+ in a TI-83+ case).  If you have any interest whatsoever, please check out the brainstorming thread for this contest.  Be aware that we're talking with Omnimaga admins including Quigibo about the possibility of making entries cross-acceptable to both our and the Omnimaga contest!

To summarize your tasks for today:
(1) Download Doors CS 6.6 Beta below and try it out.  Tell me all the bugs you find.
(2) Give your input about Doors CS libraries and BASIC.
(3) Help plan Cemetech Contest #7.

Doors CS 6.6 Beta

Cool!
Is there any way to have more than 255 programs?

Mhmm this is something I wonder. About the mouse input, I am unsure yet. Maybe the DCS wiki could have some info, but I am not sure, though. Here's the URL: http://dcs.cemetech.net/index.php?title=Main_Page

EDIT: relaying Kerm response to Ztrumpet:

Please relay back to him that Doors CS supports unlimited programs, but with the catch of a maximum of 255 folders or programs per folder.  You can have 12 folders on the desktop, each of which have 200 programs in them, and another 200 programs on the desktop for a total of 2612 programs and folders, for example, and Doors CS will be perfectly happy. Of course, the VAT would take up almost your entire RAM, but Doors CS would be fine with it.
