Unreleased CC-40 BASIC Waftertapes - list

[+acadiel]

Before the CC-40 and Waftertape drives were cancelled, the Consumer Products division had ready to release many BASIC programs that covered a gamut of Engineering and Mathematics topics.  I hereby present to you this list, which is unreleased, but now known thanks to an interview that Ksarul and I had last night with one of the last TI engineers that used to work in Lubbock on the CC-40 and TI-74 systems.

 

I am investigating seeing if I can get permission to get these released from TI to the community.

I'm curious... has anyone ever made a program for the TI-99/4A to run CC40 software or it's. BASIC.

I haven't yet examined a CC-40 program to look at the tokens.  I'm assuming you could convert most of the BASIC programs over.

[WhataKowinkydink]

Conversions for the 99/4A would be awesome.  :D

 

[+Ksarul]

Actually, IIRC (from something I read in one of the CC40 manuals BITD), the CC40 BASIC is a subset of TI BASIC. I suspect the programs should run without the need for conversion.

CC40 has several functions and commands, some from the broader TI BASIC family, outside of Extended Basic, some CC40 specific.

 

The question is, does it save programs in the same format? I don't remember if I tried to OLD/SAVE across RS232 even.

 

If it uses the same token table, there might still be keywords XB would not know. Others like RPT$ are probably just spelled out (wild hunch.)

Noted my mistakes where things are in XB

Indeed. However, a few of what you listed are, in fact, in XB: PI, SQR, RPT$, DELETE, TAB.

So they are. I got mixed up with the several flavors of Visual Basic in my head. I thought TI had SQRT. I don't recall ever knowing to use TAB!
