I've uploaded 0.21 to Cemetech and ticalc.org (will add it to Omnimaga once the database is fully operational!). This does not add the miscellaneous or the TI-84+ only tokens yet... I really didn't feel like doing that. And I realized that it made no sense to keep bloating the size of the token file before I did some optimizations, otherwise things would get really slow. I just wanted to release a version on ticalc.org, and decided to include what I had so far.
Won't be able to download until it goes through, of course, so attached is a zipped copy.

KerNO also speeds up scroll rate (one reason why I like it), but if you're using a kernel that's obviously not an option.

Thanks Lionel for that information. I use Command Post Plus and Super Start too, by the way (to the point that I can't remember to type closing parenthesis when I'm running something without it...). Complete sounds interesting as well. With all those things, I could probably use the VAR-LINK menu without an additional shell except for my one remaining greivance- that whenever you perform an operation in it the cursor jumps back to the top of the menu. Could a TSR be written to at least make the cursor jump back to the current folder instead? Maybe I'll learn how to write a TSR... And, if you are using PreOS, I think PCTools is a pretty good shell (and, it has an English version). I ran it in TiEmu, it worked fine (with Hw3 Patch). It is a kernel program, though.

oh, and I assume that left right alpha on clears the ram?
It's 2ND, not ALPHA, but yes it does. Anyway... back to the topic... no shell suggestions?

I still want to know what "line 1111 emulator" meant...
It's a common assembly error- I don't know what it actually means, though. Unlike the TI-83+, where errors like this automatically clear RAM, the TI-89 preserves it's state and makes you do it manually. One of the things KerNO does for you is intercepts these errors and prints them in a dialog box on the screen. (PreOS I think prints a "Crash intercepted" message to the status bar instead). But you should reset RAM afterwards, as your calc is probably in an unstable state.

If you download games from the "Assembly Games" section on ticalc.org, they will invariably work without a kernel (but some might require a library, like the FAT Engine). You need to go to Assembly Games\Kernel to get Kernel games. Ghostbuster is a patcher, that patches programs to be more likely to be compatible with the Titanium. (More likely because it only fixes the most common issues). PreOS is a kernel with crash protection, KerNO is a TSR also with crash protection. And yeah, unfortunately there aren't a lot of TI-89 RPGs... there is this unfinished RPG, turned RPG engine, which looked interesting... if I ever actually make a game, I was considering giving it a try.

I personally just prefered to run all my ASM/C programs through VAR-LINK and home screen, no shell/kernel program.
Btw what's the difference between a shell and a kernel, in terms of calculators?
On 68k calcs there are two different things- shells, and kernels. Well, and "KerNO"s, but there's only one of those. A kernel extends the AMS allowing it to execute "kernel" programs- programs compiled to use the kernel libraries. A shell is a file browser. Some shells are nostub, others require a kernel. KerNO is like a kernel in that it extends the AMS, but does not provide crash protection. On z80 calcs, shells and kernels seem to be the thing. Ion, MirageOS, DoorsCS, CrunchyOS, etc... all of these are (from a 68k perspective) kernels that contain a file browser. The Ultimate FAQ explains it pretty well (the 68k section) except it's a little out of date.

Yeah, I like the Apps Desktop. Does ID work on a Titanium? VAR-LINK is okay with KerNO installed because holding down the arrow keys move you up and down. But I hate the way it goes back to the top after doing any action (like moving, renaming, etc. a file). Einstein just causes my calc to freeze on " Line 111 emmulator"
what do I do?
Don't use it- or, try running Ghostbuster on it. I thought it would work on a Titanium because it was released in 2007... but it's in French, so I never tried it out.

By a shell, I mean program launcher, and not a kernel- and not this. I was talking to qazz42 on #cemetech (helping him with his new TI-89 Titanium) and he asked what shell I liked the best. Now, I don't use one at present, but I am fed up with VAR-LINK, and I was wondering what people who have an 89 think is the best one? I personally think Einstein is cool (sort of like DoorsCS for the 89) except it's in French. PCTools is also cool, but it's a kernel program. And it's quite possibly the only kernel program I've wanted to run thus far- which is why I use KerNO and not PreOS. So, I would prefer to use a nostub shell- but if there's nothing very good I'll use a kernel one... Titanium compatibility is a plus too.

Wow I didn't knew about that one. Nice find.
It was in this article, and mentioned by either Kevin Kofler or Lionel Debroux when they were arguing, in particular about GCC4TI adding back Flash OS support.

Or Punix, the other 68k OS that I just found about yesterday when reading some old ticalc.org news article (and with the assistance of a search engine). But yeah. I didn't feel like looking through yAronet with Google Translate, especially since I don't know enough 68k assembly right now to even begin to work on an OS.

This is potentially very useful for people who want to create an OS! I remember reading somewhere in something about the keys that there should be documentation on how to create an OS... now there is.
It's a shame that there's no documentation for building a 68k OS (that I know of, anyway), as I wanted to eventually have a go at a WFRNG OS for 68k calcs (after I actually learn 68k assembly)...

ok, it is official
this is really pushing me to get a TI-89T
you rock
(is Solar interprited or compiled?)
It's written in 68k C, so it's compiled. I like the ideas you got. It would be nice with the help of X-Link if there was a converter. Would the converter be on the 89 or the 83+? In the later case, would it have to be something in Axe/ASM?
I'm glad this is still progressing, btw 
Well, the converter from X-Link appvar to 83+ program would have to be on the 83+ because of the way X-Link works, and it would have to be either in Axe or Assembly.

After some time (during which I've been busy, primarily with getting back to school...), another update. Window, finance, and graph format tokens have now been added. I just need to add the miscellaneous and the TI-84+ tokens (again, as defined by TI|BD, and then I'll release 0.3, which I plan on posting on ticalc.org as well. Unfortunately, with such a large token file, the program will continue to get slower, which is why my goal for the version after that is to perform some optimizations. Slowness will be a result of three things: -Parsing the token file (dependent on size of token file) -My reverse-substring process to parse the input file (not dependent on token file size) -Searching for a token in the collection of token infos (dependent on token file size). I know I can make the first somewhat faster. The other two probably can be made faster, but I lack the knowledge to do it. I've also decided I would like to eventually have the option to detokenize, to convert an *.8xp file into an *.89z file that can then be detokenized on the calculator. That gave me the idea for another project... with the assistance of X-Link and a z80 assembly program on the other end, it would become possible to use a 68k calculator to transfer z80 programs around! I don't think anything like this already exists- X-Link is the closest to it that I know of.

It's this file on ticalc.org. It does actually "work". There are instructions to install it on a floppy disk but as a review said, it works on any bootable device. Use a program to write a disk image to the bootable device. It would, however, be a bad idea to install on your computer and replace your current OS... since it only consists of the WFRNG.
