• T2 = Reserved for future use.
• Ver = Version number.
– Each variable’s Symbol Table entry contains a byte field for its version.
– The version of a variable determines its scope of compatibility with future
upgrades of the TI-83 Plus.
– A future TI-83 Plus release may create a new data type that the earlier releases
do not know how to handle. This variable’s version number would be set higher
than the version number of the previous code released.
– If a new variable type is sent to an TI-83 Plus running an earlier version of
product code, the variable would not be accepted by the earlier product code
since the variable’s version number is higher than that of the product code.
• DAL = Data structure pointer’s low (LSB) byte.
