I appreciate your disposability, here are a couple of files created on the CAS+, a notes and a calc file.

Let me know if you need some additional information or other kind of files. :)

Cool.

Okay, so first impressions: The XML for the calculator app is fairly readable. (See Problem1.xml) (Oddly, it's called the scratchpad, which is a feature all its own in later OSes.)

*you entered 7*8, then 87*84, then [[8][a]]. It also contains info stating whether each answer is in degrees or rads, complex numbers or real, and something that "comp" stands for.

For the note one, you wrote "i know a mouse and it hasn&'t got a house,i dunno why i called him gerald." It's got the basic html-style symbol replacement ie &amp

Document.xml is less readable, but short enough to be deciphered easily. It's a bunch of numbers representing settings. I think that this file was the same between both tns files.

All in all: It's extremely similar to the specifications for the 1.1 OS, no great surprise there. Converting by hand would require the least startup work, and isn't terribly difficult.

Critor should know this one: Does the file converter work for sending 1.1 files to 3.1? I remember there being one when they switched to the encrypted filetypes.

I can take a look at it; maybe I can make nCreator create CAS+ supported documents.
I've done quite some work with the Nspire XML the last month's so that I think I'm up to the challenge :)

Okay, the XML is incredibly similar (quite normal actually) to what we have now (In 3.1).
improponibile, can you make some other notes pages with bold, italic, multiple lines of text and other stuff (If CAS+ can even do that).
This extra information will help me a lot :)

Thanks

Here we go:

bold

Please let me know if you need some other stuff.  :)

Wow, this is great. What turned out to be a purchase on Ebay unintentionally of a nspire CAS+ gives us the opportunity to delve into TI's early progress with the TI-nspire.
We might be able to develop special tools/programs for the Nspire CAS+.

The last notes and scratchpad documents work fine on 3.1 (recompiling the tns with Luna).
So, if you want to see your documents on the computer, you can do this:

1) Install Luna
2) Change the file extension of the TNS file to "zip"
3) Take the Problem1.xml out of it, and run it through Lune like this: "luna Problem1.xml mynewdoc.tns"
4) Go to the online document player of TI (http://education.ti.com/calculators/products/US/document-player/) and select mynewdoc.tns.
You should now be looking at your document :)

nCreator looks nice and promising. If it could support documents for every single TI-Nspire OSes and allows converting between OSes it would really be great for the TI community, especially for students.

Yup, here are still many things that we are going to improve it with :)
Right now it even supports more colors than what you can do using the official software :D

Works like a charm, nice job!
Files cannot be modified on the document player, uh?

Glad it works :)
Files can not be edited in there, but I might make that nCreator supports cas+.

(The document player and nCreator are two different things)

That would be nice.  ;D

Yeah I know they are different, I'm a newbie but I can tell what's an online reader or a generic software.  :)

Waiting for your news, buddy. Then you can decide where I can put your statue.

I have a question for you : does the file you generated work on your cas+? Probably not, but interesting to try :D
