Re: A83: Re: Productive Progs: Printing
Not a bad idea. We could actually save ourselves a step by using the
already existing TI Winlink software (so that we don't have to write our own
communications program). A word processor for the calc needs to be made
that will save the file in a string or something and then a program on the
PC to turn the string (.83S file) into a text file. If we wanted to be even
cooler, the word processor would support fonts and bold/italic/underline.
Though it may be difficult to represent on the calc, as long as we know what
is going to be what in the end then it doesn't matter how it looks on the
calc. Anyways, the TI-83 word processor could put in font/style codes
embedded in the .83S and then the PC program could turn the .83S file into a
.DOC instead of a .TXT.
This way, we can use the standard graphlink and print fully styled and
fonted documents on a nearby computer. Type your essay on the calc in first
period, and print during passing period at the library. Just in time for
second period english!
