GetName is a program inspired by a request from mrmprog over on UTI. This also happens to be the same person who inspired the idea of CopyProg. So what does this program do? Well, it is really simple, actually. It returns the name of a program. Let me elaborate a little more. Say I wanted the name of the first program in the program menu. I would do:
:0
:Asm(prgmGETNAMEIf I wanted the name of the second program, I would use 1 instead of 0. Also, instead of just returning "RAH" it will return the name of the program with a prefix byte. So if it is a normal program, the string starts with "E" followed by the name. If it is a protected program, it starts with "F" and if you are familiar with CopyProg, you will start to see the usefulness of this.

If the program does not exist, "." is returned. This program makes it easy to show a list of all the programs on the calc. It also makes it easy to play with that list, especially if you happen to have prgmCOPYPROG. You can make a BASIC shell with these two programs. If you want to play prgmRANDOM and it happens to be in the archive, that is no problem!
:B                  ;the number for program to copy to RAM and execute
:Asm(prgmGETNAME
:Ans→Str1
:"[TEMP             ;This tells CopyProg to create and copy to prgmTEMP
:Asm(prgmCOPYPROG
:prgmTEMP           ;Executes the program
:"-[TEMP            ;This tells CopyProg to delete prgmTEMP
:Asm(prgmCOPYPROG


Well it does return an "E" as the leading byte for a regular program and an "F" for a protected program. However, since that post I have made an updated version.
...
And with that update I made an example program...
The example uses CopyProg and GetName to handle variables. In this updated version, if you change the input to a list, you can change which variable type to search for. Anyway, here is the example and update.

Ah, it might help to see the request:

mrmprog: Does anyone have a hexcode that can be entered on-calc that would detect the programs on the calculator?
Me: How do you mean? Like do you mean return a list of all the programs on the calc?
mrmprog: Exactly. The thing is, a string would have to have some type of separator so you would know when one starts and one ends.

I just changed it so instead of returning a string of names, 0 grabbed the first name, 1 got the second, et cetera.

Sorry, my brain is kind of dead so I cannot explain well :F

Ah, okay! Yeah, pretty much if I do 0:Asm(prgmGETNAME it returns the name of the first program. If I use a list instead I can choose the type

So pretty much, used with CopyProg you can do some really cool things! I want to add the ability to return some stats about the var (size, archived/unarchived) because then it can pretty much be a BASIC version of MirageOS for nostub programs

>_>

Maybe if I looked at the source... Is it mostly data?

Well I did make a text compressor and decompressor that could compress up to 50% (though normally around 60% to 70%). Unfotunately, it used BASIC and Celtic 3 and was horribly slow with large text files. However, I do want to make an assembly version...

Yeah... The method I used needed a key, but so long as you had the key you simply put the string to compress or decompress in Ans and it would output the compressed/decompressed form. The problem is that you have a limited number of chars to use. The compressed size would be anywhere from 50% to 100%, but for a 31 char set, the compression is typically down around 60% to 70%.

Here is a screeny I just put together. Also, that video was amazing DJ! You are definitely the king of RPGs without a doubt!
