Wait, what? Did I just read... what I think I read?

It's true.  The only one that requires the sequence is unlocking flash.  Other than that, all the other ones work without a sequence from anywhere (no special flash page required - even RAM works) after you've unlocked flash.

Yeah. I got it cleared up with BrandonW. He says that he's not sure it'll work on all calcs, though.

I have a small list of things that every programmer's calculator should have on it no matter what: CalcUtil and CalcSys.
Do you mind sharing?

PS: I wrote my own hex editor that's a heck of a lot faster than calcsys' in Axe. I generally use that if I need something on-calc.
May I have? :)
Me too, please?

I use it all the time.  Good for changing the type of format data in the VAT is treated, for seeing the exact disassembly of my Axe programs so I can try to spot optimizations and tricks, and many other things.  It is horribly outdated, but for now it's the best of it's kind.
So this util would not work on nspires?

MicrOS, by default, runs with flash unlocked. It also has a port monitor, so it's perfect for testing writes to protected ports. And the hex editor is way better than Calcsys's, in part because it was designed from the start to support flash editing.

Calcsys should work fine on the Nspire. As far as I know, it really doesn't do anything strange; in fact, it tries to avoid modifying state unless you ask it to.

"Everyone Should Use Calcsys", I once used it, but found no use for it.

Maybe I just don't need it, but I found the program I bit confusing.

It may be confusing, but if your calc randomly crashes, having CalcSys on your calc is your best chance of saving it and/or your files.

ClacSys seems very useful, but I am somewhat scared of it due to my nonexistent z80 asm knowledge.
