You need:
a) A ti83+ calculator
b) A link cable
c) MirageOS
d) Just under 6k or free ram


Instructions
------------

  In case you don't yet know how, this is how you send the file to your TI83+ calculator:
    1. Open your winlink software. (Installed off of ti-interactive CD)
    2. Connect the calc to the computer
    3. Click the first button of the third grouping near the top (Send to User Memory)
    4. Find bj41.8xp
    5. Click "Add"
    6. Click OK, then OK again.
    7. Run the file on the calc with Ion or MirageOS
    8. Have FUN!!!

  The file to send to the calculator is called "bj41.8xp"

In-Game
-------

Run the program on the calculator.
If you don't know how to play blackjack, there is a massive on-calc help section that
should be able to help you out.
Here are a few things not mentioned in the help file:
 - The maximum bet is 9999

Programmers

Please feel free to take any of this source code, as long as a little credit is given to me.
Don't understand something? Ask!

There are three files that make up the source code:
	bj41.asm    --The main program
	bj41c.asm   --The calls
	bj41t.asm   --Windows, text, variables, anything else that isn't code.

This program was written with UltraEdit-32 and can be viewed best with the three files tiled
vertically across the screen. I wouldn't suggest looking at it too hard, because it's
rather complicated and has almost no documentation.

There are a couple of rom calls that are not defined in the downloadable include files,
specifically _clrlcdf and _clrgbuf, but these are just equated to _clrlcdfull and _grbufclr.

Anyone interested in doing a port, email me!
