NAME

       packxxk - pack TI graphing calculator software files

SYNOPSIS

       packxxk [ -t type ] [ -d date ] [ -o xxkfile ] appfile ...

DESCRIPTION

       packxxk  is  a  program to generate Flash Application and OS files for the Texas Instruments TI-73, TI-83
       Plus, TI-84 Plus, TI-89, and TI-92 Plus graphing calculators.  The files generated are  in  the  ``TIFL''
       format used by recent versions of TI's GraphLink and TI-Connect software.

       The  input  file  to  packxxk  must  be  in  TI-Hex  or  TIFL format to begin with, and (in order for the
       application to be installed) it must have been digitally signed before being packed.  packxxk does not do
       this,  nor does it check for the presence of a signature.  You can use rabbitsign(1) to sign applications
       in several common formats.

       If multiple input files are specified, packxxk creates a multi-part TIFL file.

   OPTIONS
       -t type
              Specify the type of program (e.g., `8xk' for a TI-83  Plus  application,  or  `73u'  for  a  TI-73
              operating  system.)   The default behavior is to infer the program type from the name of the input
              file.  (If the input file does not have a recognized suffix, the type  is  guessed  based  on  the
              contents of the program header.)

       -c id  Manually specify the calculator device ID (e.g., 0x73 for the TI-83 Plus, or 0x74 for the TI-73.)

       -d [ month/day/year | day-month-year ]
              Manually  specify  the  date stamp for the application.  The default is to use the current date in
              the local time zone.

       -o xxkfile
              Specify the output file name (default is to write to standard output.)
