NAME
       TiLP2  -	a communication	program	for TI calculators ('Tilp Is a Linking
       Program')

SYNOPSYS
       tilp [-h	/ --help] [-v  /  --version]  [--calc=]	 [--cable=]  [--port=]
       [--timeout=] [--delay=] [--silent] [--no-gui] [filename]

DESCRIPTION
       The  TiLP  program  allows you to backup, restore and archive variables
       and/or applications for your Texas Instruments calculator on your  com-
       puter. It has also additional features such as screen dump, remote con-
       trol,  ROM  dump,  FLASHing. TiLP is a very complete program. Moreover,
       you have	the same program for all calculator models.

OPTIONS
       The command line	of tilp	can be used for	sending	files like  variables,
       backup,	FLASH  apps, OS, TIGroup, etc.	You cannot do any other	opera-
       tions. If you want more operations, you have to use the GUI.  For send-
       ing one or more files, simply pass the filename(s) on the command line.
       If you want to use TiLP from console, use the --no-gui switch.

       Take care: options must be passed before	the filename!

       tilp accepts the	following options:

       -h, --help
	      Display a	list of	all command line options.

       -v, --version
	      Output the version info.

       --no-gui, -n
	      Send file(s) without launching any Graphical User	Interface. All
	      information is displayed in the  console.	  Beware:  using  this
	      switch disables any overwrite check. Use it with care!

       --silent, -s
	      Skip  questions  in  no  GUI  mode. Should be used with --no-gui
	      switch.

       --calc=CALC, CALC
	      Select a calculator type:	v200, ti92+, ti92, ti89t, ti89,	 ti86,
	      ti85, ti84+, ti83+, ti83,	ti82, ti73 or nspire.

       --cable=CABLE, CABLE
	      Select a link cable type:	GrayLink, BlackLink, Parallel, Silver-
	      Link, DirectLink,	VTi, TiEmu.

       --port=PORT, -pPORT
	      Specify on which port the	link cable is plugged on. Can be null,
	      1, 2, 3 or 4.

       --timeout=TIMEOUT, -tTIMEOUT
	      in tenth of seconds (0.1 s). The program waits for a response of
	      the  calculator  during  that amount of time. Once this delay is
	      elapsed, the program sends a timeout error. The default value is
	      1	second.

       --delay=DELAY, -dDELAY
	      in microseconds. This is the time	which separates	the  transmis-
	      sion of 2	bytes (in the old cables).  The	default	value is 5 mi-
	      croseconds.  Decreasing  this value increases the	transfer speed
	      but decreases the	reliability of the transmission.

EXAMPLE
       Quickly send (no	GUI) a file to a TI-89 through a  BlackLink  cable  on
       the second serial port (/dev/ttyS1 or COM2), setting the	timeout	to 2s:

       tilp --calc=ti89	--cable=BlackLink --port=2 --timeout=20	--no-gui
       group.89g

       Starting	at version 1.13, a new and shorter syntax can be used:

       tilp ti89 blacklink -p2 -t20 -n group.89g

CONFIG FILE FORMAT
       This  section describes the format of the .tilp config file which is in
       the home	directory of the user (*nix, Win32), or	the old	tilp.ini  file
       formerly	 stored	 alongside  the	program	(Win32). The file is separated
       into several sections (hardware,	gui, calc, external  programs,	fonts,
       screen,	misc).	 A  line preceded by the '#' symbol is a comment. Each
       line has	the following format: option=something.	 Every line can	be put
       in any order. Beware: any comment added to the file will	 be  overwrit-
       ten!  Here's a description of the options and their possible values:

       version=	 Which	version	 of  TiLP has written the config file. Used to
       display the Release the file and	to keep	compatibility.

       calc_model= Defines the calculator type.	Choose one  of	the  following
       values  (case insensitive): ti73, ti82, ti83, ti83+, ti84+, ti85, ti86,

       lowing value depending on your link cable type and the  port  you  want
       use: parallel port #[1-3], serial port #[1-4], virtual port #[1-2], USB
       port #[1-4].

       cable_timeout=  with  the timeout value to use in tenth of seconds. De-
       fault value: 20.

       cable_delay= with the delay value to use	in micro-seconds for home-made
       cables. Default value: 10

       pane_x_size= and	pane_y_size= Gives the width and height	values of  the
       remote view.

       wnd_x_size1= and	wnd_y_size1= Gives the width and height	of the windows
       in full view.

       filesel_type= File selector type	(1: gtk, 2: native, 3: kde).

       full_gui= Display the right frame (local	view).

       local_path= Use full path when sending variables.

       show_all= Show all files	(1) or only TI files (0).
