Glancing at this, I have to ask: Is the name input routine overwriting the first byte of Str1/Str3? That byte must be 6 for the converted font to show up in zStart. The conversion worked for me when I manually entered the name. I'll check the source for typos, too.

So, here it is, from Source Coder. I don't see any differences, though.

Code: [Select]

:.AA
:" COURIERN"→Str1
:6→{Str1}
:[BB6DC96F6D6E6963616C63]→Str2
:" COURIERM"→Str3
:6→{Str3}
:"FONT"→Str4
:Disp "Working...",i
:GetCalc(Str1,Y1)→A
:!If A
: Disp "Var not found.",i
: Return
:End
:For(A,0,10)
: {A+Str2}→B
: {Y1+A}→C
: If B≠C
:  Disp "Header error.",i
:  Return
: End
:End
:.CREATE VAR
:GetCalc(Str3,2052)→X
:!If X
: Disp "Cannot create.",i
: Return
:End
:.MAKE HEADER
:conj(Str4,X,4)
:X+4→X
:Disp "Converting...",i
:For(C,0,255)
: C*7+11→G
: C*8+X→H
: For(D,0,6)
:  {Y1+G}→E
:  E→{H}
:  G++
:  H++
: End
: 5→{H}
:End
:Disp "Archiving...",i
:ArchiveStr3
:Disp "Done!",i

When I tried it I always got a header error. $:-\$

I made sure to keep both bytes as 6.

Is that error with my version or yours? It worked fine with that first sample font from TI Calc. I think you need to pass Str1+1 instead of Str1 to the name input routine.

Interesting. I just tried my code again without changing anything and it worked.

Here's my executable and source:

Edit: And now it's back to doing it again.

Edit: As another request, thepenguin, can we please be able to Rcl programs from Archive?

Thanks.

This is great. I haven't managed to test out the new update though, but I *did* figure out what was causing my ERR:INVALID problem. However, sometimes after using the compile shortcut, I just get a RAM clear..... any ideas? I'll try to repro it for you to ascertain some of the circumstances....but I think it might have to do with the run-on-ram-clear property not working correctly. (It won't switch to CLASSIC after ram clear either even though i have it set to CLASSIC in the defaults menu...2.53MP)

Another request like:

I also have another feature request that I forgot about before:
Can you make it so when a letter is pressed in the Memory Management/Delete menu that you jump to the first program/app/list/appvar with that letter like in the Prgm/Apps/Stat menu? I think this would be incredibly helpful for deleting or seeing the size of items that start with a letter far down the alphabet. Note that if you're in the "All" menu there that nothing should be done, as it includes every type of file and is not suitable for jumping around letter by letter.

Can you add this to the [2nd] [Link] menu as well? I hate having to wait a minute before I can scroll down to Z to transfer certain programs, like my quadratic formula one named "ZQUADFRM."

Thanks.

DrDnar · « **Reply #291 on:** June 24, 2011, 12:09:02 am »

That's a difficult request. (At the very least, the internal workings of those menus are not documented.) Though it would be a nice feature.

Oh I like that, I'd actually like that in every menus, but I guess it's not possible.

I haven't said whether it's possible or not, because honestly I don't know. It should be possible.

Here's the process I'll have to go through.
1. Find those menus' cxCurApp values. (This is their ID values)
2. Figure out where they store the current varType.
3. Figure out where they store the current program
4. Figure out how to redraw the menus
5. Figure out how to search alphabetically for stuff
6. Add in special cases for those cxCurApp values in my hook routine
7. Write the hook routine

Now, 1 and 6 are simple. If I'm lucky, 2, 3 and 4 will be the same as the program menus. 5 I know how to do as long as I can do 2. And 7, I think this is like my 30th hook or something, so I've got some experience in the matter.

Feature request, just adding to something current:
On+Vars shortcut in program editor brings up the labels atm. But it only shows the label names' first two chars.
Like, Lbl END shows up as EN and both Lbl ST and Lbl STC show up as ST.

Might it be possible to make it so label names up to 3 chars show up?

thepenguin77 · « **Reply #295 on:** June 28, 2011, 08:53:19 pm »

Bet you can't guess what I added.

Update!!!:

Changed "Screen" menu to "Hardware"
Added in option to allow code execution in when PC >C000. (Actually, all of ram, anywhere)

The only downfall to allowing execution everywhere is that the calculator will never really "crash." Instead, it will just bounce around until it goes into an endless loop or goes to 0000h. I'm not sure what kind of effect this is going to have, so we'll have to see.

Sorry Darl, SirCmpwn told me that you could only have 2 letter labels. If 3 letter labels are real, that's an easy fix.

They exist in Axe source code

DrDnar · « **Reply #297 on:** June 28, 2011, 08:55:14 pm »

They're real. The limit is actually 3 bytes, not tokens.

Dang, ninja'd by four seconds.

Camdenmil · « **Reply #298 on:** June 28, 2011, 08:57:00 pm »

Axe allows for 3 letter labels. If I let PC>C000h would a battery pull still work?
