Well there is a Debian package that I found in a more careful search,
namely gtktiemu, but it suffers from the same problem that others have
pointed out. All these emulators need an actual TI calculator from
which one copies the code in ROM. I didn't realize that a full up
emulation would probably violate TI copyright. I'm not into copyright
violation, so thanks, but I think I'll stop looking.

Thanks, again.
