Abstract
The instruction sat of the TI-59 Programmable Calculator
bears a close similarity to that of an assembler. Though
most of the calculator instructions perform primitive data
movement and/or sequence control, some can do the work; of
small high level language procedures. Regardless of this
fact, to design and debug TI-59 programs of moderate size
can be mere difficult than doing -he computations themselves.
Programming in a higher order language such as
BASIC offers many advantages over calculator cede. This
report presents the design and implementation of a cross-compiler
which translates correct BASIC programs into
equivalent TI-59 programs. This software package includes a
linker which maps calculator instructions to a se-^, of
magnetic cards. The cards are then used to implement a
manually operated virtual memory system for the calculator.
This expands program step capacity, and permits more complex
programs to be written in BASIC language for translation
into TI-59 instructions.
