.89T <-> .TXT Converters - Linux Readme

Installation: Compile the source using ./compile.sh in the source folder, then copy the binaries it produces whereever you like so that you can run them. You should end up with 89ttotext, 89tfromtxt, sync89t, and you'll also have update.py. Sync89t shouldn't be used directly, use update.py instead - usage.html explains using it.

ToTxt Usage: Change to the folder with your .89t files, and type '89ttotext' without the quotes. It will convert every .89t file (and untokenized .89p files) in the current folder to .txt files. It does not delete or modify any .89t or .89p files when it does this, though if a .txt file already exists for a particular .89t or .89p, the old .txt will be overwritten. The same goes if you have a .txt file with the same name (sans extension) as a .89t or .89p file, it will be overwritten. Only the text body of the .89t or .89p is extracted, the header and footer are ignored.

The .txt files will be placed in folders the same as they were in on your TI-89. I.E. if you have a folder on your TI-89 named "current" and a folder named "math" and you get all the .89t files from those folders, and the graphlink puts them all in one folder (Both the old graphlink software and Ti-Connect do so, although Ti-Connect names them 'foldername.filename.89t'), you can run the ToTxt.exe (Windows) or 89ttotxt (linux) from that folder, and it will make a folder named "current" (If one does not already exist) and a folder named "math," and it will place the .txt files into whichever folder they're supposed to be in.

FromTxt Usage: Change to the folder with your .89t files, and type '89tfromtext' without the quotes.. It will convert every .txt file in the subfolders to a .89t file, unless an .89p file exists with the same name, in which case it will ignore that particular .txt file. It does not delete or modify any .txt files when it does this, though if a .89t file already exists for a particular .txt, the old .89t will be overwritten. The same goes if you have a .89t file with the same name (sans extension) as a .txt file, it will be overwritten. If you want to convert .89t files to .txt files, you should use 89ttotext instead.

The .89t files will be placed in the folder the program is run from, and will be named like Ti-Connect names them, 'foldername.filename.89t'.
