  1. == The TI-BASIC Compiler
  2. The TI-BASIC Compiler is all about compiling TI-BASIC code on your computer
  3. into an 8XP file ready for transferring to your TI-83/TI-83+/TI-84 calculator.
  4. Being able to type your programs instead of try and use the calculator's keypad
  5. is much easier :).
  6. == How to run the compiler?
  7. For most situations, just "drag and drop" the text file containing your code
  8. on top of the tibasic.exe file. A black window will appear for a split second
  9. and you should have an 8XP file next to your text file.
  10. If you feel comfortable using a command line, you can run tibasic.exe without
  11. any arguments to get usage information.
  12. == Important Note!
  13. There are a few symbols that could not be directly transferred to the language and were replaced instead with simpler tokens. Also note some of these are 'shorthand' versions of supported tokens:
  14. & --> 'and'
  15. | --> ' or '
  16. ~ --> ' xor '
  17. theta --> '[theta]'
  18. powers --> '^' (for instance, 5 squared would be '5^2')
  19. 'e' constant --> '[e]'
  20. Store --> '->' (same for such things as >DMS: ->DMS)
  21. Roots --> '[root]^' (for instance, square root would be '[root]^2')
  22. All Picture variables (Pic0 - Pic9) and String variables (Str0 - Str9) are CAPITALIZED (ie. STR0)
