digdugnate Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I inherited a Speak & Spell diskette, which I have vague recollection of as a kid. I was looking around a bit on the AA forum and the net, but I can't find anything on this darn program, lol. How do I run it? If I load XB and do an old dsk1.speakspell, then run, i get an error thats something like 'error in line 240'. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed in SoDak Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Just guessing here. Have you tried console Basic? If line 240 has code referencing character sets 15 or higher than XB uses, that's a clue it's for console Basic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 If I remember right, its a TI BASIC program which requires TE2 in the cart port. Could you post the offending lines of code so we can have a better look? I bet line 240 says *PRINT #1:S$* or something of the like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 is this program on whtech? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 Ooh, good idea! I should've given more than my generic error. I'm such a user lol. I'll update later this morning when I can fire up my stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 ok- i didnt see the diskette on whtech, but here's the error when i run it from TI Extended Basic: BAD VALUE IN 240 240 is: CALL CHAR(I+J, W$) I tried to run it with TE2 'installed' from TI Basic but it bombed out at line 100 with a syntax error (I think). Line 100 was CALL SAY (""). I think there's just something I'm missing, but I have no clue without a manual or anything to go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 This one is interesting. I found the disk buried on the whtech site (here, if you are interested: http://ftp.whtech.com/video/Chicago%20TI%20Fair%202014%20Videos/Chicago%20TI%20Faire%20Disk%202014/SPLIT_VARIOUS_1376/S_19/) This program appears to be a TI BASIC program that requires the Speech Editor cartridge to run. It also seems to require a CALL FILES(1) / NEW before you can run it successfully. I got a MEMORY FULL error the first time I ran it without doing that. Give that a try.

digdugnate Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 success! * Load 'Speech Editor' cart in FG99 * Run TI Basic * CALL FILES(1) * NEW * OLD DSK1.SPEAKSPELL works great 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
