Doors CS is a graphical
shell for the
Texas Instruments TI-83 and
TI-84 created by
KermMartian of
Cemetech.
It allows the user to run assembly programs that were compiled for it,
MirageOS, or the Ion shell.
It also runs
TI-Basic programs, including those with
Mirage OS headers.
It also implements a special header format that allows Basic programs to have 8*8 or 16*16 icons.
It is planned to open
Black Eagle Shell programs (both assembly and basic).
DoorsCS currently implements an entire GUI API, and has a graphical desktop that upon completion will include hot-pluggable support for
PS/2 mice and
keyboards.
Progress has also begun on the Calcnet 2.2 protocol, a networking api that will be built into DoorsCS6 to allow calculators to network with each other over local networks, and over the internet, as well as access network devices such as TCP/IP printers.
The CS of the name stands for
calculator shell.
The Doors of the name is a pun on the popular
Windows operating system.
Doors CS is progressing towards version 6, scheduled to be released on
1/1/07 and is currently at version 5.8 beta 4
Consumer Reviews:
