I have a problem, when i try to put the text reader reader on my fx-9860, fa-124 write "Memory Full Error", and i don't understand why, cause I delete many progs of my calc !!!
So if you ever had this problem, please explain me how do you do to resolve it !!!

Go to the memory menu from the main menu. Press F1 (Main mem) to get a list of what your memory is being used for. If one of them seems to be taking a lot of space, that's where the problem is.

If that just confuses you, go to the matrix menu (accessed through the run menu) and look for any large matrices. I'd say if any matrix is above 10x10 or so, you might want to delete it. Most likely they're used for game or program data, so be careful about what you delete. Also look at the lists in the stat menu - I'd say lists of about 100 elements or more should be considered for deletion. Also check the other list files, if you know how to do that.

Wow, my Text Reader utility has been downloaded over 30 times within a day! (over 15 times here alone!)

LOL! If you are getting this error on FA-124 (because I get the same errors over and over again also on FA-124), it's not my TXTREAD program that's causing the problem. When you import a add-in FA-124, (or any other program that is to be stored into the Storage Memory of the fx-9860) FA-124 creates 4MB "virtual" flash image in your Windows TEMP folder. The image just acts like the Flash memory on your calculator, except it's 4MB big. So you can only have 4MB of data stored under one Flash image for FA-124. When you delete something on FA-124, it's not really deleted, just like on your fx-9860. You have to OPTIMIZE FA-124 just like your fx-9860. This is not really known by much people because I think it's complicated for people to understand.

To make it simple, just delete everything under Default as shown in the image and right click on Default and click Optimization. Look to the image and look at the red circle:



After you have optimized the image, then import everything again. FA-124 should give you no more problems, unless you import more than 4MB of data into a single flash image....

Also remember to OPTIMIZE your fx-9860 (or Graph85 as it's called in Europe). It's may give you some space in your STORAGE MEMORY of the fx-9860. To do this, go to the MAIN MENU, go to MEMORY and press F5 (OPT) to OPTIMIZE.

Smal note: the fx-9860G is only in France (and maybe some other countries) Graph85. But there are Ameracans who don't believe in Europe .

But i had optimizate my fx-9860 before doing it, it's why i don't understand why it doesn't function !!!
I will try to delete flash memory today, i hope it will function, cause this programm is really usefull !!!

[kucalc]

As I said, you have to optimize also your FA-124 because it behaves the same way as the Flash memory on your fx-9860.

[thomatos]

I desinstall FA-124, and i downloaded it an other time, and reinstall it, so it function !!!

So it works now?

Anyways I updated the Text Reader. Now v1.50:

* 72% speed increase (time is proportional to how big the text file is)
* Pressing Shift' /> and Alpha' /> does a Page Up and Page Down respectively
* Pressing EXE' /> while viewing a text file now takes you back to the file manager. Useful feature, now you don't have to exit and go back in to view another file.
* Fixed text display error. Now it displays correctly 25 characters per line.

Would fx-9860 users of this forum like more useful utilities? I've been getting emails from a bunch of people saying that Text Reader is "brilliant" and "really great". What other useful utilities would you like to have on your fx-9860?

[eew]

Great, its much faster now.

[kucalc]

Great, its much faster now.

Thanks, but is Text Reader the only utility you want? What other utilities would you like to have?

[eew]

I don't really have things I want to have. A tetris game would be nice, but it's not very important.

[vanhoa]

Haha "the only utility you want" =))


@eew:"A tetris game would be nice"? You need it? Why? No tetris has already writen in Basic?

[eew]

Why is in impossible to like somthing that's not writeen in basic. I hate basic games.
