Program: Translator v1.1
Author: Matthew Landry
Platform: TI-83 & TI-83 plus (ION)
Language: z80 asm
Size: 612 (main program)

Introduction:
	Nothing much, just a translator.  Although it can have some nice uses, which I will explain later.  Anyways, this program features a command-prompt-like interface.  And the words   are in external files, making it easy to choose and make files.  Almost forgot, this program  also  allows apd - power down after five or so minutes of inactivity.

Use:
	While you are at the homescreen, you can choose between external files by pressing mode.  Any other key will bring you into the main program.  After you have entered the main program,  you  can type in words, translate them, and, well, thats about it.  
	
     A-Z : um, prints the letters a-z
     Del : backspace
     Y= : translate to foreign lanuage
     Graph : translate to English
     Clear : exit

External files:
	If you feel that you want to make an external file, here are some instructions:

	.db "ztranst" ; external search string
 	.db "Description",0 ; description of external file, make sure it isnt over 16 chars
	.dw NameOfForeignTable ; Pointer to the Foreign word table

	EngTable: ; or whatever you want to call it, doesnt really matter
	 .db 0 ; make sure this is here
	 .db "house",0	; string, 0 terminated
 	 ---- and so on ----
	 .db 0,0 ; two 0's in a row to signal end of table
	
	NameofForeignTable:
	 .db 0
 	 .db "maison",0 ; the words have to be in the same order as the English words
	 ---- and so on -----
 	 .db 0,0 ; end of table

	Hope you arent too confused.  Email me if you have questions. 

Other Possibilities:
	Other than just translating languages, this program can also be helpful for math.  You  could, lets say type in "quad" and get the quadratic formula.  Heres how:

	.db "ztranst"
	.db "description",0
	.dw MathTable

	WordTable:
	 .db 0
	 .db "quad",0
	 .db 0,0

	MathTable:
	 .db 0
	 .db "ax^2+bx+c=0",0
	 .db 0,0

	The only downside is that you cannot input numbers.  (And I dont really see the necessity  for this, so I probably wont implement it).

Thanks:
	Dan Englender - If it were not for Dan, this program would not have been made.  Dan 
			has helped me with numerous problems and ideas, I cannot thank him 
			enough.
	Joe W. - For making ION.
	Jason K. - FlagScan source, interrupts.

Trouble shooting:
	I can tell you now that the most asked question will probably be "why doesnt your  translator program run?"  I can also tell you that the most common answer will be "because you  dont have at least one external file on your calculator."  Now, I realize that I could change  the program and add in a bit that would tell the user this, but I am going to try a little  experiment and see just how many people read these readmes.
	That should be about it, this is a relatively simple program, but if you have any other  questions or comments, feel free to email me.

Bugs:
 	None, that I know of.  If you find a bug, please email me with specific details.
