Only in SMF 2.0. People have pretty much stopped creating/maintaining SMF 1.1.x plugins.
What's deterring us from updating?

Some overhead for launching a native code program occurs even when the target program is unarchived (which opens the door to data losses in the event of a crash / power loss, of course). It is very likely that launching an unarchived ASM program is faster than launching an archived ASM program, due to the overhead of creating a twin, though I don't remember benchmarking that aspect.
Well, speed is critical only in the editor, so as long as the editor's speed remains unaffected, I'll probably be fine with some degree of slowness.

Does the slowness from calling C from BASIC happen even if the C program run isn't archived, or is the slowness from creating twins of other archived variables?

Well, I have decided that I will use my own keyboard layout for editing and make the user hold down modifier keys, so I'll have to kill interrupts and use direct keyboard access. And since I will only call C from BASIC (not the other way around), I'll try doing so, and if it's too slow, then I'll make the frontend C as well. (By the way, why would this happen?)
By the way, where are the fast drawing routines?
P. S. I've never heard of the OSInit functions. Thank you for telling me that!

Hm, I'm used to it so I don't have this problem really. You could use catalog instead of writing each command though.
Also, I think 2nd+APPS swaps between two things, but I hardly use it.
Using the Catalog often takes quite a while because of the key delay. And I do use 2nd + Apps. I'm working on a program to help solve these problems.

Announcing accel68k - Your Future IDE for TI-89 Basic
The development will not be in full force until AP tests are over, but I'd like to give you a preview of what is happening:
- This IDE will use custom editing routines to ensure that key delays don't vex you anymore! In fact, the whole editing is overhauled in order to give a streamlined editing experience!
- It will also give a range of refactoring features, including Local consolidation.
- It will be full screen and (hopefully) use the small font as well.
- It will be a hybrid of TI-Basic and C. To be precise, the editor itself will be in C, and the frontend (file selection, switching) will be in TI-BASIC.
- It will require lots of knowledge about the EStack and the VAT, so help is appreciated!
This will be my most ambitious 68k project of all, and I will furnish you with screenshots when I get the visual interface functional.
Edit Got the skelly code for the backend attached!
Edit II New skelly code and key layout pic!
Edit III Holy shoot! That scan was huge! Now it's only 40% size.

So, even if I don't need to worry about getting caught, I can optimize the program no farther, nor can I stash data externally. I will not be able to finish polygon support, and 0.8_05 will be the final version released. If anyone wishes to look at the C source, I will credit him or her if he or she helps me.

I'm taking AP Chem, AP Stats (it's kind of a requirement for the kind of student that I am), and AP World History (although I haven't taken the class due to scheduling).

About 1.25 years ago, I received a TI-89 Titanium, but even now, I can't create large programs on it without being stressed out by repeatedly pressing keys; the variable manager is cumbersome to use as well. Do you have any tips for reducing this stress (maybe using an external editor would work, but all of the installers I tried failed; is there a solution for that?). I really want to finish my relatively undeveloped RPG.
Thanks in advance!

Yeah true. THe best thing would be if there was some token converter somewhere that replaced ClrIO with ClrHome or vice-versa.
Also are commands on 68K calcs case-sensitive?
Well, I was ignoring tokens, and commands are not case-sensitive on the 68k.

So the challenge is to compose a program that works both on 83+ Basic and 68k Basic, in similar fashions. The example below clears the screen and prints "Hello World!" (This is only the body):
If sin(1)=.841470984808
ClrHome
CLRIO
Disp "Hello World!"
Edit: sin(1) is equal to .841470984808 on the 83/84+, due to it comparing only ten significant figures, but these two values are different on a CAS calc such as the TI-89. So if you have an 83/84+, the program runs ClrHome; otherwise, it runs ClrIO (the expression CLRIO is treated as the product of five variables on the 83+ but the ClrIO command on the 68k). The final line is identical for both models.

Nice work!

Ironically, they're $129.95.

Did I see OS 2.71? 
I saw it first; by the way, why did it take four years to translate Dying Eyes to French?

In the animated screenshot, the OS version was 2.71MP. Interesting.
