Internal assessment - Type I DUE NOVEMBER 17th
Here is a website with a TI emulator
To download the emulator, create a folder called TI83. Then download each
of the following files into the folder.
http://www.bigskies.com/TI83/TI83.HLP
http://www.bigskies.com/TI83/TICALC.EXE
http://www.bigskies.com/TI83/TICALCLG.FON
http://www.bigskies.com/TI83/TICALCSM.FON
To run the Windows emulator, just click on the EXE file in the folder. If
you have any problems, please drop me a note.
I am less familiar with the Mac emulator because I don't used Macs. The
emulator is contained in the archive file, ti83.sit.
http://www.bigskies.com/TI83/TI83.SIT
After the file is downloaded, double-click on the file to expand the
archive. Macintosh users may need to use an additional tool, such as
StuffIt(R) Expander, to expand the archive. StuffIt(R) Expander is
available FREE from Aladdin Systems. A file named "readme" is included with
the emulator. It contains system requirements and starting instructions.
