Wow. Thats.... really smart.  I would never have though about that.
It took me many read throughs of that to fully understand.


quick question.  Isn't the extra ram page only on the 84+ and 84+SE?

Ok, so hold [+],[-] and [ON] instead of pressing enter?  so that's what I was missing...
EDIT: :/
EDIT2: I just read through the readme for the second or third time, and it isn't mentioned...I guess the question is how is it used?

I made a g(r)eek(y) font, attached.
* Darl181 doesn't see an attachment...;)
Darn, I was sure I attached it...
It is attached now.

Update:
  • ON + VARS = archive all programs
  • ON + R = safe ram clear
  • ON + COS = Asm(
  • ON + CLEAR = Restore zStart (used to be ENTER)


Axe support is hopefully on the way. I plan to install Axe's hooks and compile programs with ON + ENTER.
DCS support is also hopefully on the way. I should be able to install DCS's hooks and let it make it's appvars. Kerm's also working on the chain glitch.

Of course, both of those require entry points in the apps, so hopefully the author's will add them for me. :D

(The source is here mainly as a backup, but have fun looking at how I do file operations from hooks if you want)

Edit:
   Sorry, the last screeny sucked, this one is way better.

A RAM clear you caused thru Reset after checking your progs were arched. :P

Should have explained that.

Here is exactly what it does. It archives all programs (protected and unprotected) and keeps a list of what it archived. Then it crashes. When it turns back on, it goes through the list and unarchives everything it just archived.

This is basically for when things on your calculator just aren't making sense and you need to clear ram, but you don't feel like archiving everything.

Ah, so just a purposeful ram clear as opposed to a crash?

Yes. It is basically resetting all the settings, ports, hooks, and ram on the calculator without deleting your programs.

If I could vote up twice I would.
A request tho...could you make it so you don't have to press alpha for the safe ram clear?

Hold ON and press minus (-).  It should say "molar mass" on top.
Then, put in a ? then the compound thingy.

?H2O returns 18.02

Oh and btw you can do ON + for bin/hex conversion, and afterwards ON CLEAR to return to norm

Thx! That will help me
A suggestion to thepenguin: Maybe you can also do something like MassH2O, that is more convenient
EDIT1:And I did ?C6H12O6 and it returned 180.18 instead of 180.16/180.156, that is a bug?
EDIT2: You have the mass of H wrong, it is 1.01, shouldnt that be 1.008?

In Chem I, People are taught to only go 2 places after the decimal point.

Safe ram clear doesn't work for me. (the key code)
Can we please have a readme?
