Yesterday I posted a problem I was having getting files to transfer from my
Windows 10 PC to my T102.  It looked like it was something in Windows with
new files that LaddieAlpha didn't like and returned a FF  - File not Found.
What it actually was:  If I ask Teeny to load a file from the PC directory
that ended in ".BA" and it wasn't an optimized Basic file it returned the
"FF" error.  The file I was trying to load was a Basic program in text
format (not minimized).  When I renamed the file from ".BA" to ".DO" on the
PC, it downloaded fine.  Loading this file into Basic and saving it as a
".BA" file gave me a usable program.

 

Takeaway:  A ".BA" file on the PC needs to be a minimized file, not a
program readable as a text file.  I am not sure if I missed this in the
documentation of Laddie and Teeny but it is a two step process:  taking the
text program I received from an online source and renaming it a ".DO" file,
download using Teeny the ".DO" file, start BASIC and load the ".DO" file and
save it in BASIC as a ".BA" file.

Sorry for not learning this before I posted the question yesterday - Dave
