I have just tried this, and after an hour of messing with it I can honestly say it will remain on my calculator forever.

Great job thepenguin77!

Bug: when you copy/paste/restore tokens that axe replaces (Copy, Rect, Data, etc) they get changed to a Y# token.

Stuff already figured out on IRC, but I'll post it here for easy-to-find-ness or whatever the term is
 - only first token on the line
 - doesn't happen on all calcs

This one is actually quigibo's fault. I reported it.


Update!!
All of these changes apply to the program editor

• [ON] + [* ] - archive the current program
• [ON] + [Zoom] - Zoom compile, test, and re-edit the program (works in basic too)
• [ON] + [Trace] - Regular compile, test, and re-edit the program (works in basic too)
• [ON] + [Sto] - Regular compile and re-edit the program
• All goto's are now instant goto's (like on basic errors)
• The Lbl menu now supports mid-line Lbl's (Btm now goes to the very end also)

These ones don't apply to the program editor

• You can now reset your contrast and LCD delay settings
• The LCD delay setting will remember the lower two bits of your port $29 setting
• API program editing now works better
• API program running can support apps (silly, I know)

Thanks to runer for suggesting the test features, I have a feeling that this might be the last thing I need to get every single axe user to become a zStart user as well.

If you test an app, it doesn't return to the program editor. In theory I could make this work, but it's a mess.

Also, in order to accommodate all of these changes, I optimized like 600 bytes out of the app. What this means is that I probably broke some stuff. So if something that used to work no longer works, make sure you let me know; it's probably a 1 line fix.



The next thing I want to work on is adding some system to get the shortcut keys to work wherever they can. I'd work on that now, but I don't know how long it will take.

Edit:
  This screenie also shows my awesome axe skills.

Is it possible to start programs from prgm menu like with noshell or DCS ? If it's possible, then your application could be really usefull to me because DCS7 take really huge memory on my 83+...

EDIT : founded option "run from home"

EDIT2 : my 83+ crash every time I want to go on "next" with menu...

EDIT3 : everything crashed.

Yeah, it doesn't really work on the 83+. There's not much I can do about that at this point.

Just keeps getting better and better

I keep forgetting to ask for this: pressing up in the label menu would jump the bottom (or the last one?  I guess bottom would make more sense tho).

That seems logical, I'll see how difficult it is. I have a feeling it's very difficult or else I would have already done that. (The Lbl menu actually scrolls right if you get enough)

Also a q: would it be possible to, when axe is compiling/zooming a program and it encounters an error, go in and edit the program then when you quit the editor go back to continue or restart compiling/zooming?  This could make for fast debugging as well

Deh.... What? I believe quigibo will return the offset to the error back to me in his next update, so if an error occurs, it will just go there. Hopefully that does what you want.

Edit: ok imma post bugs as I find them while programming as normal
editing archived program, first line, ( instead of :

Have at it, I don't mind if you flood this thread with bug reports. (It's like bumping ) And yes, I noticed that right after I uploaded it here. The first colon is the only colon in the entire editor that is not actually a token, so I have to add it manually. It used to work, but I believe I broke it when I made the first line stop starting in column 0.

Love me, hate me, whatever, I spent like 15 minutes working and zStart now mostly works on 83+BE's.

Things that I know do not work:

• Pictures work, but they will corrupt your ram if you have more than about about 9,000 bytes used. They also have to be in the archive. (i)
• Everything in the hardware menu besides Contrast  (s)
• Running on ram clears (h)
• It would appear that you can in fact create fonts, they just don't work, (I didn't try very hard, so really I don't know) (?)
• Setting tokens as shortcut keys (p)
• The lbl goto menu (i)
• Copy/paste (i)
• Undo (i)

Key, (i) - impossible to fix, (h) - hard/lengthy to fix, (p) - probably fixable, (s) - silly to fix, (?) - no idea

If something doesn't work, make sure you tell me, I might be able to fix it.

If you're using an 84+, there's no reason to update since I literally changed nothing else. Also, here's the readme again because I'm assuming the 83+ guys will need it. (not that you're unintelligent, you just haven't been here for the process)

Will you please make a separate version, or make it where the incompatible features are disabled when on a 83+BE?

That should be as ease as making the options in the menu go away right?

-Feature request: for the 83+BE, there is not a lot of Rom. So even with smart writeback, GarbageCollecting is frequent (and annoying). Maybe you could add an option "Never writeback" ?

In case you didn't know, MirageOS has this feature.
