I found a bug but don't know if it was reported, so I report it.

Spoiler For read if you have time to waste:
Story 1:
I wanted to solve an equation with a basic prog and got ram cleared.
I went to the place of the prog where it had a bug and it happened to be a Stop.
I replaced it with Return and everything is good.

Story 2:
I made a prog with only :Stop in it and it ram cleared.
I made a prog with only :Return in it. It did nothing (expected).
→Conclusion: there is a problem with the Stop token :P

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

I will look into that. The good news is that it's a very specific error and it's easy to replicate.

I've also had very weird token changes in my program's name.  The last characters changed into an ">", but the program still ran fine.

When you edit an archived program, I add $80 to the last letter of the program name. This is so I can have a temporary copy in ram and not make a huge mess by have two instances of the same program.

If you found that program, most likely you exited the program editor without letting the program save. The only way I can think to do this would be to pull your batteries out. But in any case, that program is valid except for the last letter in its name, and if you edit it, when you quit, it will go back to normal.

Well, I just found this - and it is awesome! But I also have one question and a bug report. So, first of all I downloaded the version on ticalc.org . I wanted to ask what Axe version is there built in. The bug is, that I have as shell DCS enabled, I ran a MirageOS program, which worked normally, but at exiting the ram was cleared, but it wasn't bad due to the run at ram clear of it. ^^ The same thing also happened after Compiling a Axe program into a app. The app was still there, and the mirageos game aswell.
EDIT: I found another bug: It somhow it doesn't copy the temporary program to the normal one if I edit a program from archive.... :(

Oh dear, do you have anything else installled? The huge amount of bugs you found at once makes me feel like there is a conflict.

There is no axe version built in, you actually have to have Axe on the calculator. (And it has to be like v0.5 or greater)

I think I know what is causing the Mirage program to crash. The program probably quits in a really funky way that can only be handled by legitimate shells. First of all, does it work when run from DCS, and second, what is the program?

What specifically happened when you compiled the app?

As for not copying the program back, this is where I feel like something else is interfering. Does this happen every time? And are you quitting in a normal manner?


Anyways, if these are all legitimate bugs, I owe you a big thanks for finding them :D

Well, to the mirage program, it was ztris, but a crazy version that had some bugs in itself due to multiplayer playing, so maybe that isn't zstarts fault. To the xlib-compiling: after writing app the screen just went blank and when I turned calculater on it said ram cleared. And somehow the editing in archieve works now, I don't know what was the problem before. Maybe the axe thing also works now, i didn't test since editing in archieve works.
EDIT: I just had DoorsCS and Axe installed before.....

this one But it works somehow now, I don't know what was wrong, just one bug is still there: executing the mirage when beiing in dcs mode program makes a ram clear, but the rest works now! :)
I have got a idea, how to make zstart even more awesome: as in axe 1.0.4 and above you can zoom through programs, it would be cool if a shourtcut e.g. ON+^ would zoom through.
But there is also another thing currently: when you just compile with axe (ON+ENTER) it sometimes zooms instead....

ON+ENTER = compile? I didnt know :o
Also, label names can be up to 5 letters now, is there any chance that it will be updated?

You'll have to enable the axe-feature and it just works if you have the curser on the program and you must be in EDITING menu.

EDIT: I found a bug: With OS 2.43 it doesn't display always the grayscale pic when turning calc on, with OS 2.55MP it worked... :S

You can calibrate or whatever it's called the grayscale, this helps to get rid of the scanlines.
It's always worked or me in 2.43...

(btw I don't know what you mean by zoom but you can natively jump to a letter in the OSes program menu ;))
