Ok. For all that haven't any idea on how to setup the TI-68k Developer Utilities to make ebooks
on a Win95/Win98 machine here is a simple guide.
Suppose you have installed the TI-68k Developer Utilities to drive C:
Add the bin directory of the TI-68k Developer Utilities to your path by editing c:\autoexec.bat.
Somewhere in this file there should be a line like this:
set PATH=c:\something;c:\something2
At the end of this line add the path to the TI-68k Developer Utilities binary directory.
In our above example the line should read like this:
set PATH=c:\something;c:\something2;c:\tt\bin
reboot your machine so that the changes becomes active
open a DOS box and type: tthelp. If you don't get a list of all TI-68k Developer Utilities you have done
something wrong in point (1). Please check again and/or check the documentation of your system.
If you get a list of the TI-68k Developer Utilities you have the "most complicated" step solved.
to generate an ebook make a directory and copy the textfile you want to convert to an
ebook into it. Please read the HTML file ebook-generator-usage.html and
ebook-metatags-specification.html in the docs directory for more details on how to use
the generator itself.
Suppose you have a textfile named "mydoc.txt" and you have a title image file with name "myimg.bin".
Further suppose you want that the generated ebook is in variable myebk and the text "my first book"
should show up in the ebook selection screen.
Open a DOS box and navigate to the directory where your files are. Then just type:
ttebkgen -t myimg.bin mydoc.txt myebk "my first book"
This should generate your ebook. If there goes anything work
please type ttebkgen without any parameter and read CAREFULLY the usage information !!
In the examples directory you can find the "source" of Alice in Wonderland and a batchfile
(build.bat) which generates the ebook. Have a look on it!
I hope this helps.
