It's working now- thanks again, Lionel.

This is awesome! Even though I only tried it in WabbitEmu (my calc has a broken link port)- I was able to quickly write and assemble a program.

What would it say about me if I use WabbitEmu + Mimas to write programs rather than Spasm or Brass?

c) If this is only 0.1, what's missing?

An on-calc emulator, so you can debug your programs without potentially bricking your calc or needing a computer?  

Thanks Lionel! I have Windows booted at the moment, but when I boot back into Linux I'll redownload and recompile.

I can see why it would make sense to retire the Silver Edition and not the regular calc from a business standpoint. It's a more expensive 84+ with more memory- that's it. The only person who's going to be interested in that is someone who either is buying the calc for development/gaming (like I would be)... or someone fooled by advertising.

And, if TI's desperate to cut costs (as we saw with the RAM pages incident), they probably would want to scrap a calc with extra memory for cheaper assembly.

So, I've recently installed a Fedora 13 partition on my desktop (replacing an old XP partition). I've been installing various calculator-related stuff, but I'm having a little problem with TiEmu.

I ran ./configure after extracting the tar archive, and got the following error message:

configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!

This is most likely because I don't have KDE installed on my system- Fedora (13, at least) comes with Gnome. What I'm not sure about is what package to install without installing KDE itself- is there something containing just the headers?

I have an old TI-83+ Black Edition. Maybe I can trade it for an 84+SE for someone who doesn't care at all about calcs... it works fine except the link port is broken. For someone who doesn't care about programming or gaming, maybe that would be okay...

You can still buy 84+SEs off Amazon for now.

I've gotten the file type/extension (whatever you want to call it) implemented. This is only a feature if you're using a compiled token file- otherwise, all files will be given the 8XP file type by default.

I've also added code to automatically archive the resultant files- both for my token compiler (on calc-name is maketok) and Solar89 itself.

I added whitespace support, so Solar89 will automatically discard all extra spaces in front of lines. It won't replace them with : characters or anything like that (that's a way to waste memory)- it just trims them out at the start.

I'm also trying to get empty lines supported, but I'm having some weird issues with that. If the line is at the top of the program, it works fine. If it's in the middle, between two other lines of code, tokenization takes much longer than usual and then it hangs. And if it's at the end, the program runs as normal but the lines at the end don't appear for some reason.

The last problem isn't a huge one (because Solar89 already inserts an extra newline character at the end of the each program), but the first problem definitely is.
