I. What is BMPto89I Converter

BMPto89I Converter is a free tool to convert large amounts of BMP image files to TI-89 compatible image files (.89i) without user intervention.

It works by automating the utility TI ScreenCapture, which is included into the TI Connect suite.

At the present time, it only supports the conversion to the TI-89 image format (*.89i).

II. System requirements

	TI Connect 1.6 English language
	Microsoft Visual Basic 6 runtime libraries
	Windows 2000/XP reccomended

III. Installation

	Extract the archive in any folder
	Open settings.ini with a text-editor
	Verify that the path of the key "ScreenCapturePath" match your TI Connect installation. If not, adjust it. If the path contains spaces, you MUST enclose it in quotation marks (e.g. "C:\Program Files\TI Education\TI Connect\TIScreenCapture.exe")
	Save the file
	Run the .exe

Content of the archive
BMPto89I Converter.exe	Main program executable
settings.ini	Contains program settings
readme.txt	Readme file
dummy.bmp	Needed to make TI ScreenCapture not to search for connected calculators

IV. Usage

	Run the .exe
	Select the folder where the bitmap files to convert are placed by clicking on the "..." button
	In the textbox "Device folder", type the destination folder on the calc
	Specify wheater to keep or delete bitmap files after conversion
	Click the "Convert" button: the conversion now begins.

TI-89 File names
The converted files will have the same TI-89 name of the bitmap file.
Example:
	BMP file = D:\Documents\PICT.BMP; specified device folder = FOLD1
	After conversion, the file D:\Documents\PICT.89I is created.
	When you transfer this file to the calculator, it'll go into the FOLD1 folder under the name of PICT.
