New Version 2.0 of Multi-Language Translator
ViralX  Account Info

I finally got up the ambition to recode everything from my translator program that I created last year. I had previously lost the source code, so that's one reason that it's so late. I just completed version 2.0 and uploaded it, so we'll see how long this takes to be put up.

For the interested, new features include:
-> Four lines of definitions for each word
-> Easier and more intuitive interface
-> New word editor for easy adding and deleting of words
-> New non-English characters to input
-> Bugfixes
-> Other stuff I can't think of now

Overall I think it's a lot better than the last version. If you haven't seen my last one, try this out!

-Scanning
-File utilities
-Slideshow edit and play
-Finance
-Statistics utils
-Char menu in grapical form

Um...this is all well and good, but I have to ask you - what good is a CD/DVD player on 6 or 12MHZ calculator with a b&w screen and no sound chip?

I'm glad that you've got such a good project going on here (we need more good quality, finished things here), but I think a lot of the features you listed are ludicrous for a calculator. Virus scanning?

Also you say that the program can backup stuff on a CD. Why would anyone waste a 700MB cd on a 1 to 2MB file?

Don't get me wrong; I'm not trying to beat you over the head for being creative. What I'm saying is that there are many features that you're trying to make that no one would use more than once. Why not get the other things done (like use of USB FLASH sticks) that people will really use, release it, then worry about the things that are just novel ideas? The project interested me because I've been working on something similar for a while.

The reason that those things are on there is that they need to be there to be compatible with PC. They aren't that useful, but they will be there in case people need it.

For example, a 700 MB CD could be used (if it's a CD-RW) to back up an entire network (or all of the USB sticks, too), and Virus Scanning ("ViruScan") is useful because if this ends up actually working, people will write viruses-and they already do. A 12 MHZ calculator (actually 13.276278) can play CDs, and hopefully also DVDs, simply due to the fact that in 1996, 1 MHZ computers played CDs (albeit at 8x). A sound card can be installed externally via the link port (I have made a unit that does this-it's on top of my computer).

And, also, yes, I know about your project-I'm working with you on it :)

Please post here, people, btw, because this is how I'm trying to evaluate what people like/won't like and will/won't use.

Oh, well I feel stupid. I didn't even notice that you were the one typing that.

I still don't think a virus scan is useful on a calculator. If anyone releases a viral program, it should be fixed with a community beating of the programmer. :)

As I said, the ViruScan thing is used on Windows, so Morvlon has to have it, or people will think that Morvlon is full of holes and all the hackers will steal their personal data and the sky is falling and WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! It's less Norton AntiVirus than a reassurance to people that Morvlon isn't swiss cheese (and it seems to work in that programs are scanned for illegal functions and syntax that people pasted in etc and scans the link port for questionable transfers of data).

BTW, I was trying to confirm that it wasn't, say, ViralY or something-I thought I was posting to the wrong thread :-).

Yeah, it's good ol' me. After buying a new 89 to replace the other one, I've slowly started to rebuild OmniOS. It's going to be a while until I catch up to where I was!

Lesson learned: Backup files weekly! :)

IMHO it's a waste of time even thinking of writing a CD player on an mk68. First there is the issue of interfacing with the cd-burner, is this supposed to happen though the link port? If so, then you will have to have some kind of hardware in-between to translate between TI's weird protocol and the cd-burner. It will take longer than feasible to complete.

No interface needed except commercially available hardware adapters-internal CD burners don't need drivers.

On that topic, is it even possible to run things other than viewscreen and presenter from the accessory port? I thought the accessory port was a serial connector identical to the one to the screen.

The viruscan thing, also: people want it, they complain about it being absent from AMS.

GARRR!!! I'll stick to TIOS and write my own special functions when I need them.

Morvlon 3.00
ti_is_good_++  Account Info

It really will be much better than AMS and easier to use than a list of programs, even though it costs money. Anyway, it's geared at businesses who don't have the endless resources for $2500 laptops for every field manager, so it's intended as an alternative to a laptop or PocketPC if you need them and not to the AMS.

Sorry if it's not useful to you, but please consider it in the future in lieu of a portable Windows-based device.
