> Derive ....

Derive is a fantastic program and often outperformed everything else.
It is historically interesting, in the "Newton's Notebooks" sense.

I have spent the last few months trying to convince TI to either
release the original derive lisp code (which they no longer use)
or to write a "dead safe" clause that would release the code if
TI lost interest. It went up the management chain at TI.

As of last week the effort officially failed.
