After reading the documentation, I have discovered these 3 things:
a) This is going to be wonderful!  I'm going to use this almost exclusively to write Asm programs.
b) The JQ instruction is genius!
c) If this is only 0.1, what's missing? :D

What's the JQ instruction? I couldn't find it in the readme, and I couldn't find a documentation in the zip :-\

It's a combination of JP and JR that auto-ops it to be whichever one is quicker for the given situation, I think. :)

It's in the doc folder, in manual.html

Wow ... that is genius. Could Axe do that?

That person who said something about the virtual calc, it's not the same thing.   It is just to look like you have two seperate calcs running on the same calc.  If one crashes, the other crashes

Yeah. I didn't know Virtual Calc was in Omnicalc, but I did know there was a separate Virtual Calc app (also by Michael Vincent). I was thinking of something more like emu8x.

The userbars in my sig are links embedded links.

And in addition to calculator (and Python!) stuff, I mod Civilization 4 (frequently with Python).

iirc, emu8x also crashes when the code being emulated crashes.  But I haven't tried.

It shouldn't, being an emulator. If it does, you're running it on a calc w/only 48KB of RAM x.x

I am sure it can mess your calc up if it crashes, since it is ran on the same hardware. However, I am not sure if you lose everything when going back in 83+SE mode. Also, the virtual calc in Omnicalc shares the same archive memory between two calcs. If you archive a program in the first calc and not the second, it messes things up very badly.

I emulate my 84+SE on my PC, and when it crashes my PC doesn't. ;)
Same goes for Emu8x. Since it is an emulator, what happens inside it doesn't affect what happens outside it.
Edit: Well, it shouldn't unless it's not a good emulator. (To my knowledge, however, it is.)

Yeah I was a bit concerned about the limited platform RAM. When a RAM clear occurs, does the entire 128 KB of RAM gets cleared?

On the main calculator or the emulated one?
When a RAM clear on the main calculator occurs, only the first 32KB of RAM are cleared; the others are left intact since the OS doesn't use them.
When a RAM clear on the emulated calculator occurs, it clears its 32KB of emulated RAM. Note that when it's started up its RAM is cleared automatically.
Does this answer your question, or am I misunderstanding?

Yep, especially if you add more stuff...
