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.)
