Will there be RPMs? I have always expirianced dependency **** with Mandrake 9.1 and TILP from source.

Eh, I can see your problem already (not that I should be talking...)

Use the source, Luke... you're probably better off not using RPM, and it doesn't take *that* long to compile.

What about the dependency problems?

I wasn't talking about time to compile code. I have a P4. It takes time to FIND all the dependencies. I suspect that I have some already that TILP's configure script isn't detecting properly.

Do you have the development versions of the needed packages installed too (the ones with the headers, etc.)? Usually you need those to compile, or the configure script complains it can't find them.

I've never used this. Is this unreliable? Does it ever lose files? Does it eat memory? Does it cause crashes? Is it inefficient? Is it incompatible with certain things for no apparent reason? Are there incompatibilities between files that TI-Connect produces vs. what this produces?

My guess is the answer is no to all, but I was just checking before converting from TI-Connect.

That sounds like a personal problem to me.

I just listed some common technical problems with software like this. What's personal about that?

Ah, a problem I've had quite a lot when I used IE: "it couldn't find the page". The page actually exists, but IE just can't find it.

Does the latest IE (or the version you use) still have the bug where it forgets Forward and Back pages when you go back and forth between pages many times?

This was a one-time glitch. My DSL provider is not the most reliable in the world.

Is this unreliable?
No, in my experience it works better than TI's software.

Does it ever lose files? Does it eat memory?
No... why?

Does it cause crashes?
No

Is it inefficient?
I'd say it's better than TI-Connect (the interface, at least -- of course it depends on the cable you use.)

Is it incompatible with certain things for no apparent reason?
It's compatible with everything, to my knowledge, except the direct USB cable.

Are there incompatibilities between files that TI-Connect produces vs. what this produces?
No, TiLP is more lenient in terms of input files, but produces the correct checksums.

So I could use this to send a .tib 68K OS?

Yes, you can !

Awesome!

I guess you're used to microsoft products. :^)

I'm used to imperfect but excellent products and am by nature conservative.

Whatever...

Hmm...

The windows version steals file associations.

So it automatically associates the TI files to it, or does it mess with other associations?

NOTE: This all occured with a previous version of this program, not this release.

I think that it does have an option to associate at installation, (at the time I didnt know what that was, so i clicked yes) and it really screwed up all my TI icons. I was REALLY, REALLY mad because not more that a few days ago I had fixed up my icons and file associtaions to what I wanted, and to what I liked and it was such a pain to do it all again. It displeased me very much.

Also I didnt like that if you use the silver-link cable, the USB drived that tilp uses, is not compatable with TI Connect. So you have to choose, and I didnt want to choose between the two so I stuck with TI Connect. However for the brief time it was on my computer I didnt think that it was a bad program

<offtopic>Don't you hateit when a program steals more file associations than it can handle? I know a lot programs that associate themselves with files they can't even open.<offtopic>

Which programs are these?

Microsoft Photo Editor (I think) thought it could open bitmaps, and Yepp Audio Manager (MP3 player software) associated itself with most audio file-types (and did a horrible job playing them)

Steal from what? TIConnect? WHy in God's name do you have both?

-W-

I actually have TILP, TI Connect and TI-Graph Link software all installed. I guess having TI-Graph Link instaled for everey TI is a little much, but I use them all...
