So would you say it's a good alternative as long as you have TIFS already?

Yes, fiddling with TIFS's files, so that it signs FlashApps with the 0103 key (for 89/89T FlashApps) or the 0101 key (for 92+/V200) when compiling them is better than letting TIFS sign them with these non-standard 14F03/14F01 keys and using RabbitSign/resign68k after the fact.

Whoops, sorry, didn't know that I'd get anybody in trouble with that.

I'll be advised in the future.  Thanks for the correction.

Here's a random thought:

Since TIFS is only a front end for the Sierra compiler utilities, why not just write a new front end?  I know that the compiler wouldn't be improved, but some of the bugs in the IDE portion could at least be addressed.  Plus it could be made cross-platform relatively easily.

Just a thought.

I know this post is a few days old now, but I just discovered something that may be relevant, or may not.  With the demo flash app provided with TIFS, I opened it up and looked at project settings.  Under post-build, I found the following lines:

//\python\python "c:\src\simulators\68k\ti flash studio\tools\mkapplet.py" -n "App1" App1.out
//\perl\bin\perl "c:\src\simulators\68k\ti flash studio\tools\certc.pl" App1.src App1.cer
//\perl\bin\perl "c:\src\simulators\68k\ti flash studio\tools\flcerthdr.pl" App1 92+ app App1.cer App1

Needless to say I have already searched my hard drive, and the python and perl files are not present.  It appears to just be an oversight on some overworked programmer's part.  I never know, though, what information might be useful to others.  So, fwiw, here it is.
