atrax27407 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 I'm having problems transferring the FORTH.dsk files to my TI. Everything goes fine with PC-TRANSFER until it reaches 'SCREEN0080' . Any ideas? Bad download?_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I just opened Screens 80 and 81 in TIImageTool. Both of them are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Lee Stewart sent me a copy broken out with TI Image Maker - still no joy. Can someone with a HDX dump the FORTH.dsk files to a TI-formatted disk, archive them and add a TIFILES header and post them somewhere and see if that works? BTW, does TI99-PC work with Windows 10? Will it even install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 Thanks to Lee Stewart, I now have a working copy of Weiand FORTH (AKA Fig FORTH). The solution was to archive the files and imbed them in a .dsk file created with TI Image Maker. I still have no idea what the problem was in getting the files downloaded but everything un-arched just fine. On the outside chance that it was something in TI99Dir (corrupted bytes?), I downloaded and installed a fresh copy of the program as well as a fresh copy of PC-TRANSFER on my TI system.. In reading the German manual for Weind FORTH, I found the features (not the structure) to be strikingly similar to Wycove FORTH that was introduced a year earlier. Interesting, indeed!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the mention. With all the similar utility names floating around, we all make typos that probably confuse newbies, so I feel compelled in correcting the typo in the above posts. “TI Image Maker” should be “TIImageTool”. ...lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 You are correct - I was not thinking about what I was writing. Old age, you know - a "senior moment". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry.peterson Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Does anyone have (or know where I can find) the disk that came with the TI version of FIG FORTH? I think the attached file is what TI sent to users groups way back when... TI-FORTH.dsk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
