+9640News Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Feature request for TIDIR. I just did some "processing", and generated 3 x 48 sets of PC TXT files. These files need to be converted to DV80 files. I jus discovered I can highlight all the files, but only one file will be converted, not the whole batch. It would be nice to be able to process all the files at once rather than individually, especially since I have to use the drop down menu for how to handle the CR/LF characters.

+jedimatt42 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 http://endlos99.github.io/xdt99/#xdm99 I find this tool most useful for such things, and it can be scripted... a little text editor kung-fu and you have a script that will iterate all your files... Here is a typical session converting a native txt file, with CRLF to a TI DV80 file, hexdumps included so you can see the result...

+9640News Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Fred, One other "slight" request to TIDIR. When viewing a file in hexadecimal, either a menu option to see the file including the header (perhaps as a new menu item in the drop down menu) or as a clickable option.

How about a built-in hex editor as well? It's kind of nice to be able to see the EA/5's internals, but if we could use it to modify them too that would be useful.

+9640News Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Fred, Thanks for the update. I got it up and working, and I really like the way you implemented the display of the header information. Much appreciated. I think you are also author of DM2K, and I would like to report I am able to use it with the TIPI and the Geneve in Rompage mode. What I did find was that I needed to access the TIPI as DSK0 and not as TIPI. Accessing it as DSK0, I was able to copy files to/from my WDS (Myarc HFDC).

atrax27407 Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Anyone else having problems getting the .chm files to display/print in this version? I'm using Windows 10 build 1909. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) I found and solved the problem!! Windows 10 blocks opening ,chm files because of the general risk involved in opening downloaded random .chm files. I right-clicked the file, opened properties and checked the "unblock" box. It now display/prints normally. Edited July 9, 2020 by atrax27407 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+9640News Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I'm using TIDIR V 7.2a. When I list some files I have on a TIPI, I see some files listed as 'tifiles', and others listed as "classic99". What is the difference between the two as they both show a TIFILES header with the hex editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+9640News Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I have TIDIR on several systems, and apparently that was one PC I had not updated. It is now updated. Either way, what is the difference between a tifiles header, and a tifiles header that TIDIR calls classic99? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) Based on an examination with a with a hex editor, it might be that the TIFILES header (in TIDir) is a single file while the PC99 file is an archived file with a TIFILES header. That is the conclusion I have reached based on my very limited sample. Edited December 27, 2020 by atrax27407 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+9640News Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I've got a request for something that I think may be along a minor tweak for TIDIR as I think the core routines are already present. I am testing Github as a repository for TI source files for assembly on a Geneve and/or TI-99/4A. Uploading files with TIFILES headers is not a problem, just the file can not be viewed on GitHub if someone wants to view the file. Please note these files are originating from a TIPI share but could just as easily original from a source file on a DSK or HDIMG file. It would be nice to convert a mass of directories of source files into text files at a second path with preservation of all TI formatting including tab spacing, that could then be uploaded to Github, and then if someone downloads files, those files could then be converted back to a D/V80 file with a TIFILES header maintaining the original format. I am not entirely sure if GitHub will default to a TXT viewer of the file if there is no extension of the filename, so that may be a requirement. I would also suggest that when reading the TIFILES header, if it detects a DIS/FIX 80 file or a Program Image file, it copies but treats those files as possible binary files with no file manipulation. From what I can tell, TIDIR has the capability, just a tad more involved. What I was hoping what could be done would be to have a GitHub option on the menu bar with two options, Convert for Upload, Convert back from Download. Then TIDIR would store the configuration parameters for file format (DIS/VAR 80) with the appropriate CR/LF requirements, without having to remember all the specific details. I think something along these lines would allow us to create more easily source file repositories for those individuals not using compilers and assemblers that use a .text format on other platform computers. Where I have also seen issues and I know there is not an easy solution, is on those other platforms, individuals have used the true tab character in their spacing that makes converting back to a clean and neat DIS/VAR 80 format for the TI more difficult as our editors treat the tab character differently than the way we may tab while programming. Thus, the first goal would be to handle a DIS/VAR 80 source file option for moving files around. I am looking for point click, highlight, select transfer option, watch and wait, and it is done.

+hloberg Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 FYI: My Windows Defender in Win10 has suddenly started blocking TIDIR memory access and marking it as an intrusion. This has the effect of not allowing TIDIR to make writes to CF7 and other disk types. Started after an update a few weeks ago. I had to go into the Defender settings and set TIDIR as OK to make memory changes. This is even with the intrusion settings set to LOW. Some PCs have notifications set OFF so it may not be showing on your PC but still screwing up TIDIR. If you get weird things happening in TIDIR you might want to check the Defender LOG and see if TIDIR is blocking memory access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
