PC-Tools

VTI-Logger 1.10 is a tiny tool which records all bytes written tothe virtual port of VTI 2.5 BETA5 and stores them into a specified file.
This makes it possible to generated even huge logfiles from programs running on the VTI byjust writing the log messages to the link port [full C source code included]. Credits for version 1.10 go toHai Pho Truong (novaxius@yahoo.ca).

The TIGCC Tools Suite v1.31 is a collection of some tools to support programmerswho are using the TIGCC development environment for TI89/TI92p/V200.

Beside the programmer's tools the suite contains:

the ebook reader
the ebook generator
and a tool to generate and use packed NOSTUB executables. This tool is now integrated in the TIGCC compiler (read the TIGCC docs about commandlineflag '-pack').

As usual the complete source code is included.

LINUX PORT: A script and instructions to use the TIGCC Tools Suite on LINUX systems is included

TTTiler v1.04 is a tiny tool which can be used tosplit up a binary image generated with ImageStudio into single sprites (tiles). ReadTICT Tutorial S1P4 for its usage.
NOTE: the TIGCC Tools Suite Distribution contains a newer version of TTTiler !!!

TTUnEbk v1.00 is a tiny tool which can be used toextract the complete text of an eBook made with the TICT eBook Generator.Many people have requested such a tool which becomes quite handy if you wantto fix spelling errors, format problems or similar of eBooks made by someone else.The sourcecode of this tool is part of the TIGCC Tools Suite.

ExtGraph Library v1.02 is an AddOn to the TIGCCLIB.It's a compile-time library (used functionsare fetched from the library during the linking stage) and it contains various useful graphicsrelated routines which are missing in the TIGCCLIB or modified routines which are implementedwith maximum speed in mind.ExtGraph Library v2.00 Beta 3 is a widely improved, extended and optimized ExtGraph 1.02. Excerpt of its documentation:

WHY EXTGRAPH 2.xx VERSIONS ARE A GREAT IMPROVEMENT OVER 1.xx AND OLDER:

Nearly all functions were rewritten in pure assembly, resulting in speedup and size decrease.
__attribute__((__regparm__)) routines (functions whose name ends with "_R") are now available. They are faster and smaller than equivalent __attribute__((__stkparm__)) routines, which were rewritten too, and are left for backwards compatibility. Few __stkparm__ routines do not have a __regparm__ version. As a consequence, TIGCC 0.93 is not supported any more, but this version is no longer the official release and is really outdated now. __stkparm__ routines should not be used for new designs if they have __regparm__ equivalents.
clipped sprite routines, which can be used just like the normal (non-clipped) sprite routines. The prototypes of the equivalent non-clipped and clipped routines are identical. The clipped routines assume the planes they are given are 240x128 pixels.
a complete tilemap engine was added.
grayscale transparency routines (TRANB_R / TRANW_R) are now available.
grayscale (I)SHADOW(2)_R routines were added.
transition effects are now available.
tile (aligned sprite) functions were added.
rectangle-drawing routines are now available.
other utility functions for X8(X8) sprites were added.
support for preshifted sprites is now available.
documentation is clearer (although much bigger) and more usable by newbies than it used to be (tips, comparisons between different approaches).
