TTStart v1.12 | (c) 2001-2002 TiCT
Usage Information |

## How to use the TTStart?

> Since AMS 2.01 TI has integrated a length restriction on assembler programs. On AMS version lower than 2.04 the maximum length is 8kB and since 2.04 the maximum length is 24kB, which may not be enough for every program.
> If the calculator states "ASAP or Exec string too long" you have tried to start a program which cannot be started due to the length restriction.
> There are many ways around this restriction. You can install the famous HW2Patch, but patching the AMS is not always a good idea. Some programs comes with an own starting tool like TI-Chess.
> TTStart by itself is a general launcher. It doesn't need the HW2Patch nor a kernel installed. It handles correctly exepacked and normal programs and it treats possible return values of programs correctly (Since v1.12 it can handle exepacked kernel-dependent programs, too).
> To run a program just type in: ttstart("programname") and it will start the program. Don't forget the quotes around the programname. Otherwise the start utility will reject it. If a program needs some own commandline parameters just add them after the program name. For example if a program wants two integer values you can start it by typing in: ttstart("programname",10,20)
> Quite easy, isn't it?
> If you are interested in the sourcecode: TTStart is part of the TIGCC Tools Suite which can be found on the TICT-HQ Website.
