TI-99/4A UNIX99 development continues

This is just a little update:

 What is currently being worked on:

- GCC

- UNIX99 BASIC

- Memory management

- printer management

New features:

- Creation of a ROM-only version of Unix99 that boots and directly loads a user-specified program. This allows developers to use the Unix99 development and all of its features to create programs/games and then distribute them as a FinalGROM image, without the need for users to set up a Unix99 environment. The programs can be developed while running inside Unix99 in BASIC or C, or using Unix99's cross-compiler dev environment. The programs are copied into spare ROM pages. Still some cleanup and testing to go, but appears to be solid.

- sin and cos per the Unix API (double angle, double return) and fast integer based versions. 

- DELSPRITE subprogram for BASIC 



-------

weird quirks:

-l is the only flag that works with the ls command.
