DESCRIPTION

14       packxxk is a program to generate Flash Application and OS files for the
15       Texas Instruments TI-73, TI-83 Plus, TI-84 Plus, TI-89, and TI-92  Plus
16       graphing  calculators.   The files generated are in the ``TIFL'' format
17       used by recent versions of TI's GraphLink and TI-Connect software.
18
19       The input file to packxxk must be in TI-Hex or  TIFL  format  to  begin
20       with,  and  (in order for the application to be installed) it must have
21       been digitally signed before being packed.  packxxk does not  do  this,
22       nor does it check for the presence of a signature.  You can use rabbit‐
23       sign(1) to sign applications in several common formats.
24
25       If multiple input files are specified,  packxxk  creates  a  multi-part
26       TIFL file.

29   OPTIONS
30       -t type
31              Specify the type of program (e.g., `8xk' for a TI-83 Plus appli‐
32              cation, or `73u' for a TI-73 operating system.)  The default be‐
33              havior  is  to infer the program type from the name of the input
34              file.  (If the input file does not have a recognized suffix, the
35              type is guessed based on the contents of the program header.)
36
37
38       -c id  Manually  specify  the  calculator device ID (e.g., 0x73 for the
39              TI-83 Plus, or 0x74 for the TI-73.)
40
41
42       -d [ month/day/year | day-month-year ]
43              Manually specify the date stamp for the  application.   The  de‐
44              fault is to use the current date in the local time zone.
45
46
47       -o xxkfile
48              Specify  the  output  file name (default is to write to standard
49              output.)
