Question

What's the deal with these .tig, .TIProgram, and .8xo files?
|

Answer

Usually, calculator files come with extensions starting with
the two digits of the model number of the calculator the
file is intended for (or “8x” for the TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus,
“9x” for the TI-92 Plus, or “v2” for the Voyage 200).
Occasionally you may come across files with certain other
extensions.
.tig files are a relatively new group format that
replaces the older calculator-specific group formats
(.7?g, .8?g, .9?g, .v?g, etc.). .tig files are actually
just normal ZIP files containing standard calculator
files. If your linking software doesn't handle .tig, you
can try unzipping a .tig file using a standard
unzipping utility
and then transferring the resulting files individually.
.TIProgram files are generated by the program
editor in the Mac version of TI Connect. They contain
TI-BASIC program source code in some kind of XML
format. As we do not currently know of a program for
non-Mac platforms that can understand this format, we
are not accepting .TIProgram-format files into the
file archive at this time. (If you would like to write
software that can make these files accessible to those
on non-Mac systems, please do!)
.8xo seems to be a fairly rare
format produced by the Mac OS X version of the TI Connect software that internally resembles an .8xg file
containing an on-calc group variable.
Cemetech's
SourceCoder
web app has experimental support for this file type. TILP
refers to this format as ‘8Xgrp’. TI Connect for Windows appears not to support the format at all.
