TI-OS Linking Bug?
« on: March 16, 2012, 07:30:10 pm »
I am working on my TIConcours entry (the SNAKE program) so I backed it up earlier. I sent it to the computer and that worked fine, so my entry now has a backup on the computer. However, I tried sending it to Wabbit so that I could look at it and at my calc while programming similar sections of code. That failed. So I tried sending another file. That worked! So then I tried resending the other program and again, it failed. So, I renamed it on my actual calc, resent it to my computer, and it sent it to Wabbit just fine.

Later, I decided to back it up from my TI-84+ (OS2.40) to my TI-84+SE (OS2.43). I got a Version error. So I tried sending another program. That worked just fine. I tried to send my snake program again and it failed.

So, what I am thinking is that the OS bugs out on the name. Unfortunately, I cannot give the last two bytes of my program name (it is an ID for the contest). However:

The name starts with Theta followed by SNAKE and then the ID number. This is a total of 8 bytes. Does anybody know what is wrong?

*bump* ? The deadline is drawing near (tomorrow), so I hope this isn't a bug that will persist

As a temporary solution, you should be able to make a new program with a different name and Rcl the program into it. Hopefully you can then send this copy to your computer successfully, from which end you can rename the program back.

This is currently working :) I wonder what the problem was, then ? It still won't send from calc to calc, but it now sends from computer to calc, properly.
