===============================================
WELCOME, AND THANKS FOR TRYING OUT TI-ASSISTANT
===============================================
--------------------
Installation and Run
--------------------
Send program ASSIST.83G to your calculator.  To run, simply run program ASSIST.
Necessary programs are: ASMENU1, ASMENU2, ASMENU3, ASSIST

------------
Instructions
------------
The user interface with TI-Assistant has been made as easy as possible.  All menus are clearly numbered, and all input is clearly prompted.  The solutions, along with other output, has been arranged in the best manner possible to give you quick, yet complex answers to mathematics and phsyics problems, equations, formulas, and theorems.


===============
Version History
===============
-----------
version 0.6 **
-----------
file size: 6687 bytes (Total for all menu programs and main program)

** - version 0.6 is a major change for Ti-Assistant, because there is
now a seperate program for each menu. (ASMENU1-ASMENU3, and ASSIST).
This allows for much easier updates and much faster performance.
You still run the program from prgmASSIST.

ADDED:

- Log Solver
	Log Solver will solve for logarithms that aren't base 10

- Equation Solver
	Quickly solve for X in equations that equal 0


CHANGED/FIXED:

- Root Solver bug
	Root Solver now gives correct answer when A <> 1

- Solve for T bug
	Solving for T no longer results in a syntax error

- Menu Seperation
	Seperate program for each menu (ASMENU1-ASMENU3)

- Smart Menu
	Program memorizes which menu you were last on, so you will
	return to that menu next time you run ASSIST.


-----------
version 0.5
-----------
file size: 6013 bytes

ADDED:

- Root Solver
	Root Solver now solves cubic functions
	Root Solver now solves for non-real functions

- Modulus
	Find the modulus of a complex number


CHANGED/FIXED:

- Main Screen
	More common functions have been shifted to the main menu

- Main Screen Animation
	The animation has been removed

- Rounded Answers
	Most solutions are now rounded to the nearest thousanths decimal

- Synthetic Divider
	Solution screen is slightly more organized and more info is given


-----------
version 0.4
-----------
file size: 5562 bytes

ADDED:

- Synthetic Divider
	Divide polynomials up to the fifth power

- Vector Components
	Add up to four vectors and get resultant

CHANGED/FIXED:

- Dist, Vel, Accel, and T
	Above is the new name for what was formerly "Physics Equations"


-----------
version 0.3
-----------
file size: 3490 bytes

ADDED:

- Main Screen Animation
	A small continuous wave of the authors' names

- Physicis Equations
	Solve for V, D, T, O as well as many other formulas

CHANGED/FIXED:

- Root Solver
	"Quadratic Equations" has been changed to "Root Solver"
	Answer display is much more informative and easy to understand


-----------
version 0.2
-----------
files size: 1485 bytes

ADDED:

- Line Segments
	Enter two points and get distance, midpoint, and a nice graph

- Linear Equations
	View all forms and solve for slope and equation given different variables

- Y Vars
	The program now turns off Y Vars at run and turns on Y Vars at exit

CHANGED/FIXED:

- Quit
	The "Quit" option is now located at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen

- Speed
	Program now starts and exits much quicker


-----------
version 0.1
-----------
file size: ????

ADDED:

- Quadratic Solver
	Solve for real solutions of AX^2 + BX + C


===============
Conjuring Ideas
===============
- User Customizable Menus
	Implement a user-controlled menu system

- Root Solver
	Add quartic function to root solver

- Trigonomic Functions
	Add easy use of sin, cos, and tan with right triangles

- Crush File Size
	Test ways of accomplishing the same, or similar results using less space

- Expand Answer Information
	Push the limits on how much info can be shown given only a couple variables

- Notes
	Add capability for user to write, recall, and edit notes

- Equation Solver
	Simplify the standard equation solver for easy use within TI-Assistant

- ZoomExact
	Instantly grab the window you've always wanted when ZoomFit never works
