That's a disk file and should have TIdisk at the end for use with "Win994a" emulator.
Every file in it is DIS/VAR format and each file has "_I" at the end. The disk's name is BK.
I imagine they are picture files, perhaps viewable with TI ARTIST? However, I can't test it as my
TI ARTIST disk file doesn't seem to work with the emulator. The program "TI99dir" doesn't allow me to view the files as pictures, so I'm not fully sure what they are.


I hope you would share your games or other TI files when you can. You probably have a lot of good software. (-:

Hi. I found this information:

There are 3 files extensions for TI Artists's files:
1) _C and _P: standard picture files;
2) _F: fonts files (load them from "enhanced" menu, then "Fonts");
3) _I: instances (cliparts). Load the instance (from "enhanced" menu).  It shows a bounding box which can be moved around with the joystick.  Pressing the fire button drops the instance on the screen.

So, the files are 'instances' (clipart) and can be used with TI ARTIST.
