I just got my first TI-84SE last weekend, and they're pretty amazing so far. :)
I'm trying to write a basic program ("pi") designed to be ran from mirageos to load an asm program called zpi that won't show up in mirageos. I'm trying to get the basic program to do the archiving part for me. The problem is however whenever I run it it errors on the first line saying "ERR:INVALID".
PROGRAM:PI ::UnArchive prgmZPI :Asm(prgmZPI :Archive prgmZPI
When I run that from the home screen though, all three of those lines work without flaw, and I'm stumped as to why it's not working as a basic program. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks. |

Answer: It's only my own preference. I either code in pure BASIC or ASM, and anything in between seems pretty pointless.
