Speak & Spell disk - how do i run it?

[digdugnate]

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?

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.

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.

is this program on whtech?

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.

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.

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.

tested this, worked for a while then gave me an incorrect statement in 14202 in the middle of "say it"

tibasic with speech editor cart ran off tipi and finalgrom

success!

 

* Load 'Speech Editor' cart in FG99

* Run TI Basic

* CALL FILES(1)

* NEW

* OLD DSK1.SPEAKSPELL

 

works great
