My first newbie WP 34S question

What I had in mind is that the size of the stack and the .data section is limited on the Atmel hardware, and compiler optimizations or bugs may be different, too. For example, one of my earlier attempts nearly doubled the stack space needed by set_status_sized(). I have no idea whether that would've been OK on the real hardware considering all possible code paths. The current version of my patch has a minimal impact on the stack and .data so this is probably no longer a concern.

I'll publish the patch once I've cleaned it up a little and have the time to write a post about what it does.

Calling it a 'port' of the WP 34S software would be the most appropriate in my opinion. It's mostly the same code with platform specific changes and additions.
