<Whats New> -=-=-=-=-=-
Anova is now known as Anova Microshell. Indeed, after having removed the Anova title, the Anova executable takes exactly 569 Bytes in memory! And that's not all, you might say: Anova might be half the size of Sos, but it doesn't support modules, APD... You're wrong, Anova now supports it's own add ons, why "add ons"? Because Anova's add ons are permanent like Anova itself. The first add on lets you delete a program from Anova. Shortly a programmer's guide for Anova add ons will be released.
<Features> -=-=--=-=-
* MicroShell, takes very little space, uses 1 byte to load. * Low power consuming. As Low as the TI-Os, lower than Sos (no interupts). * Can display up to 256 programs. * Icons! * Libarys, Level Loader Programs & Add Ons. * Ten programs displayed at a time. * Program write back for scores... * Programs can run with about 50 bytes free RAM. * Contrast Changing.
<Installation> -=-=-==-=-=-=-
Send Anova.83g to your calculator, the first time you execute prgmANOVA, the message "Installed" will be displayed, next time you run Anova, it will execute properly.
WARNING: Anova's new loader doesn't support memory leaks, this means that in no way must you try to turn off the calculator while Anova is running. Otherwise Anova will crash next time you run it.
<Description> -=-=-=-=-=-=-
Anova is a TI-83 shell totally compatible with Ashell & Sos programs (not modules, add ons!). But who offers some extra graphical & programming features compared to this one. Indeed, Anova supports icons & aims at making the TI Interface the most comfortable possible.
<Using Anova> -=-=-=-=-=-=-
To use Anova, use the [Up] and [Down] keys, if you have more than eight programs then press [Right], Anova can handle up to 255 programs! Of course, for those who didn't notice, you can change the contrast.
