Total Posts: 2007 | Some ASM programs are made for both, though, but Andy and DSP are right, you'd screw your calc oveer if you ran an 83 asm program on your 83/84+ |

Total Posts: 939 | Programs that are "for both" must be reassembled. You can't link an ASM file from an 83 to an 83+ and have it work. 83 OS calls are regular CALLs; 83+ OS calls are Banked CALLs. |

Total Posts: 2007 | Yes, I know, but technically, you can use #if's around calls to direct the compiler to only compile the right call, e.g.
#ifdef TI83
call _whatever
#else
b_call(_whatever)
#endif
I've seen programs like this actually. |
