LF: Re : Newby
Just like you, I made the 5$ link cable, and I did not encounter any
problem at transferring the backup files using the link program provided
with Fargo... Actually, you only have to start the Link program, plug your
ti in, type "U", and then the name you want to give to your backup file.
To send the backup back after having put Fargo into it, just type "S" and
the name you saved it as. Link makes automatically the ti switch to
receive mode.
The .@ extension is used by Andreas Westfield's program, the .b one
represents a backup file, the .g one a group file, the .p one a fargo
program file, but I never saw the .d one... Anyway, you can find programs
to convert .@ files to other types at www.ticalc.org.
Sorry for my bad english speaking...
