Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around finding a method to transfer and read text files on a TI-86 calculator. Participants explore various software tools and file formats suitable for this purpose, focusing on compatibility issues and potential solutions.
Discussion Character
- Technical explanation, Debate/contested, Experimental/applied
Main Points Raised
- One participant inquires about programs to read text on the TI-86, noting that existing options like Notefolio are not compatible.
- Another participant suggests using Ti-Connect to send a text file to the TI-86 and mentions using the program editor to read the file.
- A participant expresses difficulty in creating a compatible text file, asking what software to use and reporting an error message when attempting to transfer files from MS Word.
- Another response reiterates the need to use the program editor in Ti-Connect for file transfer.
- A later post introduces an Advanced Text Editor v1.01, which is an extension of Asmide86, highlighting its features for editing and viewing text files on the calculator.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally agree on the use of Ti-Connect for transferring text files, but there is uncertainty regarding the specific file formats and software that are compatible with the TI-86.
Contextual Notes
Limitations include unclear specifications on compatible file types for the TI-86 and the potential need for additional software tools to facilitate text transfer.
Who May Find This Useful
Users of the TI-86 calculator looking to read text files, as well as those interested in programming and file management on graphing calculators.
. There is the program notefolio but it's only compatible with the ti-83/84 & ti-89 (doens't work with ti-86). So, any ideas how I could copy text & then read it on my calculator?
