- I believe that Garth Sweet has a slight misunderstanding as to how to
- install libraries so I'll try to explain:
-
- Most libraries have a bit of code that is automatically executed at each
- warm start that attaches the library to the HOME directory. In this
- case, all you have to do is recall the library to the stack, type 0, 1,
- or 2 (depending on which port you want to store it in) and hit STO. Then
- turn the calc off and on. You should see the calculator do a warm start
- when it comes on (the same as hitting ON-C). Your library should now be
- attached.
-
- Garth...If what you did ATTACH and then STO, you did it out of order.
- And if the library has the CONFIG code I spoke of, I'm not sure what
- happens if you attach it to another directory yourself but what I suspect
- has happened to you is you have stored several copies of the library in
- you port and they have self attached to the HOME directory. That would
- explain why you cannot DETACH them from the from your MATH directory.
-
- If the library has no CONFIG code tht self attaches, you must attach it
- yourself to the directory of your choice (1 library per directory, except
- for the HOME directory, which takes any number of libraries). Attach
- AFTER you store it. You must then detach from that directory when you
- wish to purge the library.
-
- To see if you have multiple copies stored in your port, push left-shift
- LIBRARY PORT0 (or whatever port you have) and look at the contents of
- that port, or alternately, push left shift MEMORY NXT 0 PVARS to see what
- is in port 0.
-
- I hope this helps
