I have TI Connect 1.3, and OS 1.16. Togeter they work great. Essentially, you have to use a compatible TI Connect and OS.
BTW, you should be able to send the app via Graph Link software if TI connect won't do it. |

BTW, if you see strange programs, don't mess with them. Instead, ignore them and maybe exiting and restarting NimbusOS would be a good idea.
We are going to debug the program sorter soon, and do the options menu. |

I have TIConnect 1.1 and OS 1.14. Together they work... well... not so great. |

| um, would these not-programs happen to be '!','#',or '@'? I think two of those three are the homescreen, while one doesen't exist. |

um
They are ! and #
One is the homescreen buffer
The other is the last entries buffer.
I have never seen the @ |

ticonnect crashed for me (1.1, i believe) but graph-link worked fine... 
As some people already have said, when you go up in the list, you get a empty list. the size of the first "program" changes for me, but between 10 and 20 bytes. The second program (one more up in the nonexisting-list) has exactly the same size as the last in the list, and it's always like that (on my calc  ). It has the same properties (archived, locked, type...) as the last program in the list to...
As for the rest, it looks very good, all programs (except basic of course) worked just fine!  |

I think if you do [2nd][Entry] several times, it changes to the not-so-last.

In calcsys I once saw a L(list symbol)@ that was a program. I typed in DelVar L@ on the homescreen and the ram reset. |

You don't unless you have a special editor. The only way I know of getting it is using compiling a program then unlocking it
I don't know which number it is
Basically
000102030405060708090A0B0B0D0E0F10111213...
Then AsmComp(prgm...
Unlock the resulting program |

I think I may have found a bug...
Nimbus said my battery was low as the indicator had 1 or 2 pixels of the battery power left. It was good to have a warning, but I didn't have any 3A's so I just left it for a few days. Today when I turned on my calc it warned me of the low battery, so I assume Nimbus did a good job of detecting it. But when I opened the App again, it said I had a full battery. Is this because it's running off the backup battery or because NimbusOS messed up? |

And as long as we're on the topic of possible bugs, I wrote a quick basic program that cleared the screen and asked you to input a variable. (I believe neither of these works in MirageOS)
It worked, but I noticed that ClrHome in Basic just does the ASM equivalent of ClrLCD. It clears the screen, but it doesn't reset the row to 0 (or is the top 1? meh). Would it be lots of work to figure out how to have the row number reset too? It might be part of the cause of stuff not displaying right.
Just another few cents from me. :-D

Yeah, there are a few unresolved bugs in the basic loader, and the error handler works but is not complete.
Put simply, the row resetting does not work correctly at all, and we do not know why or how to fix it. Furthermore, 2nd+Quit or 2nd+On will cause you hell if done from a basic program. We will latter handle these with hooks and interrupts.
As for the cursor not resetting, I have no idea why that doesn't happen. I almost think we will need to write a background task to update load 00 into currow and curcol.
Other than that, the loader is bug free!
NimbusOS recognizes MirageOS programs, but at the moment claims ignorance by displaying Unknown program. (We like it that way for now)
As for the programs menu behaving strangly, I was able to figure out exactly what went wrong and solve it.
Basically, when you press up, you search for programs with names that come earlier in alphabetical order (actually with lower hex values)
41h is A
42h is B
43h is C
30h is 0
31h is 1
...
61h is a
62h is b
63h is c
Well, if you scroll up, it will detect a program with the hex value of 23, which is the # program. A system program.
It is technically a hidden program too, since it is below the visible character value.
Pressing the unhide button will attempt to unhide it by increasing its first character to above the 1Ch hex value.
This is done by adding 40h.
Yes, you could technically hide and unhide by subtracting and adding less, but we use 40h because it is the MirageOS standard, and takes less code.
All we have to do is point hl to the character and mess with a bit.
set 6,(hl) ;to be exact :)
By doing this, we change the system program from 23h to 63 h, which is a locercase c.
21h the ! program will be 61h when you add 40h; therefore, it will show as a lowercase a when unhidden.
To solve this, I just told the program sorter to ignore programs with the first character 21h or 23h.
Beta 5.1 will be released shortly with this fix. In other words, Beta 5.1 should have a bug free programs sorter!

No. A lot of people discourage really short replies, but I don't think theres anything wrong with a quick response that doesn't elablorate on every detail. Unless of course thats all you do, but I dont think anyone does that on this site. Keep on short-posting away!
PS This is my opinion, so if other people say yes, I would probably listen to them since I'm just rambling.

Read some of the problems other people had on this forum. I couldn't get mine to work till I upgraded the 83+ OS to 1.16.

| so, about that reported battery indicator flaw... (it wasn't in the last bugfix post, either as unreproducable or otherwise) |

NimbusOS => Your Projects
Your technique did work nicely for A though.
