Tex v0.2.0 Alpha by Guillaume de Vivies and Loic Minier
Posted by Nick on 25 May 2000, 23:25 GMT

Aside from the initial shock of a French programmer actually claiming their file, Tex v0.2.0 Alpha is pretty neat. Designed by Guillaume de Vivies and Loic Minier as a front-end to Teos (but it should work on any shell), this looks pretty nice at first glance. It includes many file and folder functions, support for passwords, a real-time bench (whatever that is), and battery level detection. You can snag this fine spec-o-mine for the 89 and the 92 Plus.

I tried the shell and it looks good but it crashed when I tried to view a picture

I think I tested almost everything and there is a lot of stuff that doesn't work. The shell ran all of my programs without problems but I couldn't see pictures. In conclusion I liked the shell but it needs improvement. Keep the good work!

Damn, the french know their shit. I just visited the site and some of its links, they've got some mahor stuff going on, which I've never heard off here on ticalc.org. Monkey Island looks mad sweet, this really makes me want an 89. I just don't understand why they don't go public with all their stuff (must be some kind of cult or something?).

Hi kinkypimp
I know it may seem strange for you, Americans, but try to imagine that you couldn't be understood by millions of people. (impossible you tell me)
But for us, Frenchies, it's bloody hard to say a word when you have in front of you millions of Americans who most of the time don't know a word of French. So it's not a cult and I can tell you that all the french programmers want to be known (and so is it for americans programmers and i don't blame anybody)
It's just a question of language and that's all !
So don't believe we are in our little world, eating snails and frog-legs: we do our best to show what we are able to do: just look at www.ti-fr.fr.st for example.

Well said ;)
Language barrier is a problem - but when you get past it you tend to be amazed by the stuff that people who haven't been "contaminated" by endless clones and repeats of TI games come up with on their own initiative. I think...
LOL. I'm supposed to speak English, and I can't even understand myself... better have a lie down...

Hmm, ok I'm sorry I didn't mean to insult you in any way, and actually I'm not american I'm swiss, and I speak french, that's why I was able to understand the french sites I visited ( I didn't even realize that there was a button to switch to english until a friend of mine pointed it out to me).
So once again
Je suis très desolé.

Ese es el problema con los estadounideses no se sienten orgullosos de lo que son, y para colmo se abren sus mentes a otras culturas. Mientras los europeos aprenden dos, tres, cuatro o mas idiomas los estadounidenses se limitan al ingles. Es una real pena...

wtf?? Why do you write in spanish when this clearly is an english site. Everyone here writes in english (eventhough some of us might have problems with it) so what makes you think you're special, that the "rules" (ok they're not real rules but still) don't apply to you?? Just think about what kind of mess this board would be if everyone started writing in German, French, Dutch etc.
Ok I'm done now

Desole KinkyPimp,
Je ne voulais absolument pas paraitre impertinent. Tu n'as rien a te reprocher, d'autant plus que tu es Suisse.
And for everybody, he's right:
How can we understand ourselves in this mess? We MUST speak the same language = english.
I'm sorry for you, Enano Bigoton, but could you could translate your message in English, please? (I don't even ask you to do it in French....)

Translation:

That’s the problem with United States people they feel ashamed of what they are. In top of that they don’t open their minds to other cultures. In the other hand Europeans learn two, three, four or more languages meanwhile North Americans (making reference to United States only) limit themselves to English.

PS: I’m not saying this is the rule of the United States but it applies to many people.
PPS: Sorry for any inconveniences… : )

For JaggedFlame:

Cuando me refiero a estadounidenses no me refiero a los extrangeros como usted que viven en los Estados Unidos. Me refiero a los que usted llama americanos. El problema es que americanos son todos los que viven en el continente de America. Por ejemplo los mexicanos, chilenos, argentinos, dominicanos, cubanos, puertorriqueños, canadienses, ect. son tambien americanos. Por esta razon me refiero a los natales de (nacidos en) Estados Unidos como estadounidenses y no como americanos.

PD: Dejame decirte que te admiro mucho por hablar siete idiomas. Yo solamente hablo dos (ingles y español) y entiendo algo de italiano y quisiera aprender mas. El problema es que vivo en una colonia estadounidense donde no se fomenta los multiples idiomas.

No, muchas personas de los Estados Unidos no son americanos reales. Yo, por ejemplo, sé hablar siete idiomas, y vivo en los Estados Unidos. Solamente son los americanos perezosos que no quieran aprender nada, y miran la televisión... :-P

(excuse any mistakes I might have made... I'm not Spanish :-)

Argh ... ahora me siento horrible que fuera nacido en los Estados Unidos, porque solo sé cuatro idiomas. Soy estadounidense malísimo. ^_^

My comments on the PROGRAM! :P

Good show... But...

Too ugly...
Messy copy&move... since there are actually marked keys for copy and cut and paste...
Confirmation on deletion, mainly protected/locked/etc files
On common dir/file view, have an idea if files are protected by any method
Colors... ops :)

Just that for now... Good work and keep it up.

First of all, I would like to thanks verybody who tested Tex in its first public release because it was buggy.
Right after this first release (0.2.0) we released (GdV and myself) a corrected version in a hurry : 0.2.1. This one is particulary stable, except may be on HW2 calcs... You may download it on our site.

I also want to say that we posted Tex at the same time on ticalc and on ti-fr so please don't we don't want to be known in the US !!!

It seems to me that news@ticalc.org isn't a good way to get a news on the site.

You'll notice that the actual file on ticalc has been posted by ourself. We also posted the latest version but it's still not updated.
