Two questions-
-How do I move a document from my calculator to my computer?
-Can I put a file make on DocDE on my computer and make it a text file and vice versa?
Hey welcome to cemetech.
1. You would use a linking program like ti-connect or tilp
2. You can convert a .txt file to a docde file but I do not belive you can convert back.
Let me see if I can find the link to the converter.
Thanks, it works perfectly for .txt-.8xp, but it can't do .8xp-.txt. Thanks for the link.
Glad I we could help and again welcome.
Kerm, how long would it take to make the txt.->calc converter calc->txt.?

That's incorrect. Pseudo: you're an idiot.

It already converts between .txt and .8xp (both ways)... And why are you putting the period after the extension? its .txt, not txt.. 
Both ways? I didn't know this this makes life alot easier. I can work on homework on calc and then print it off sweet.

Duh, that's the whole point of it.

"alot" isn't a word, and you are missing some punctuation and capitalization.

That is, until your teachers start yelling at you .
This WOULD solve my continuous no-paper problem though. Although, I'd still need a guide that tells me what key presses yield what characters (glances at Kerm and then to his computer)
Sorry, I assumed by Storm's post that he was correct and there was no calc->txt converter. I even have a sticker on my wall that says 'thou shall not assume'...
Ok, I think I know why it didn't work for me: I tried to convert Tetris to text (it was right next to "Test," which is what I called the doc) , which just gave me a lot of gibberish. Thanks for making this, it's going to help me a lot in Study Hall.
EDIT: Ok, I've just done my French homework on my calc; let's see if it works...

Good deal. I should actually make it check the filetype tag and reject it if it's not a DocDE document...

Ditto for .txt files - just check to see if the contents are plain-text or not (I tried using a .sh file and it rejected it, stupid converter )
How could I check if any file was plaintext regardless of its contents?

You could just assume it was plain text 
. Or you could also just run through the file and check that each byte is a printable ASCII character.
Meh, I suppose. I guess I'll go ahead and do that some time this week.
