this is the best news i've heard since... well... ever... KEEP IT UP TICALC.

sad

Finally! We are getting there. Pretty soon the archives will be reopened and all the files I have been waiting to see since September will be on the site. Yay!

OH YEAH!
Now i can get more games for my Ti-89 :)
too bad they run out my batteries!!!

And the problem is... ?

Yessssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!

2nd'ed

I wrote: http://www.ticalc.org/pub/89 and started browsing.. but when I try to see, for example, readme.txt inside a zip file I receive an error:
HTTP 403 Forbidden

just to let you know.

The zipviewer script used to look inside ZIP files is currently disabled.

Great! I have a program that I'd like like to release for the TI-89, and though I know they aren't accepting new programs yet, I was wondering what category I should release it in since it has a windows component and a TI-89 component. The program, called Virtual Harddrive 89, allows you to browse a selection of the contents of your computer's hard drive with your TI-89. You can also rename, copy, move, and delete the files on your calculator and have the same changes made to the actual files on your computer.
If anyone would like to try it before I'm able to submit it to ticalc (and maybe suggest any changes), then ask me via email and I'll send it to you.

Do both.

And it actually *works*? Wow.

Yup, it works. It could have been done better by a more experianced programmer, but if nothing else, I hope this program will make programmers interested in ideas other than games. I love games of course, but I think that the ti-89 has the potential to behave more like a PDA... like how about a program to convert new emails to ebooks to be read on the 89? I might try that when I have more time...

That's pretty cool. I've already written a Perl script that downloads a web page, strips it of all HTML code, and compiles it into an eBook. I'm sure they would be very similar. However, I'd have to think of some way to read in all the new incoming mail... Oh well. Give me a month or two to learn C++ (better than I know it now, at least), then maybe I could do it.

Cool! Is this script available somewhere? I don't really know how to setup a perl script but I could probably figure it out. If it's not available anywhere, could you possibly send it to me? I would, of course, give you tons of credit for anything I used it for... that'd be great for getting some sites and articles on my calc that I could read when I don't have a computer available.

YAHOO!!!!!!!!!

GOOGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL. Don't start this again.

You are all going to be destroyed.

You have no chance to survive, make your time

Where did you get "You are all going to be destroyed" from? That's not right...

No, he's right. We are all going to be destroyed.
The Dark Lord will bring his demons from hell, and all will be tortured for an eternity. The prince of Demons, Demogorgon, will consume our flesh and bring us terror impossible to imagine. His minions will tear our bodies apart layer after layer and I wanna go first.
Don't mind me, I'm nuts :-|

YIPPEE!!!

"You are on the way to destruction."

Move original mistranslation !!
For great justice.

How about a Zero Wing port to the 89?

"Take off every 'Zig'"

We need a Zero Wing port!!!

OK, two things...

1. The game was HORRIBLE. It was an incredibly easy R-Type-style side scrolling shooting game. I beat it in about an hour.

2. I've ALREADY ported the introduction (which is basically what everyone knows about). It can be found here:

How about for the 83+?
