Marcus: Thanks for your hard work and the generous contribution of your valuable time to add these much needed and appreciated features. There is one point that I would like to make regarding the library manager (Bug/ Non Bug) you were discussing. Since the library manager is required to compile a working wp34s.dat state file there is NO WAY to compile a user created program that uses only non-quoted labels A-D. If he coded his program that way, and saved his program in the emulator and disassembled it, he would naturally think that he would be able to "Re-Assemble" it with the provided tools. But the "Library Manager" tool is required to compile this "NON-LIBRARY" individual program with only non-quoted labels into a wp34s.dat state file. So you wind up with a situation where a program can exist / be saved/ be disassembled into a source file, but have no way to "Re-assemble" the source code into a working program. (Unless you change the LBL A to a LBL 'A' before assembling.) If you are thinking of the "Library Manger" as a tool to manage "Libraries" only, then this limitation makes sense. But if you widen your perspective to include the fact that the "Library Manager" is required to compile even small single programs into wp34s.dat loadable state files, then the limitation of quoted only labels seems more like a bug. The bare-bones assembler is not capable of generating operational state files that can be loaded into the memory of the emulator/calculator. The "Library Manager" is required to perform this task.
I hope this clears up any confusion on this issue, Thanks Barry
