JB Software John Boyce

John Boyce produces a wonderful range of freeware, mostly for the Psion 3, but with a considerable amount for the Psion 5 also. Alas, it looks like his wonderful JBData will not port to the Psion 5. For reasons not clear to me, the first web page uses a weird VBScript to attempt to redirect you to an index.htm page (none of my browsers understand it). www.jbsoft.org

Gareth Brandwood

Plptools allows you to mount your Psion on Linux using NFS, using the Psion protocol rather than TCP/IP. No support required on the Psion end. Mixes functions of plp and p3nfsd. Said to work on RH7. Formerly ftp://ftp.to.com/pub/psion/

Plp does an FTP client using Psion protocols, so no Psion support needed. Formerly at http://www.proudman51.freeserve.co.uk/psion/index.html

EPOC services respond to requests over the remote link, and convert the Agenda and Contacts data to an XML-ish format. Linux clients using the PLP link software can connect and output the data in a format which can be read by the GNOME calendar and address book applications (gnomecal and gnomecard). sayanara.sourceforge.net/

SOX (SOund eXchange) which is able to convert between almost any formats you could name, and for the last year or so has included EPOC in its capabilities. (The last version -- 12.17.4 -- was slightly buggy wrt Psion, but is patched.

The Linux PDA page for Psion mentions kab2psion, a Perl KDE to CSV utility. Also PsiConv, which is limited to Word to HTML at the time I checked. PsiLin, connects Psion to Linux, as a Unix terminal. Formerly at http://mobilix.org/pda_linux_psion.html

WinEpoc

Win95 desktop appearance, not multiple windows open. hi_spede at yahoo.com said: "I tried WinEPOC for a short while and decided to un-install it. To be fair the program is well written and works well, but it failed on two basic points for me:
1/ does it do anything new or novel compared to EPOC? Not really. It provides all the same features but in a different way, some navigation is a little bit faster but not that significant for me.
2/ Why do I want my Psion to look like Windows? There's no advantage. My brain is big enough to learn the operation of both products. I like the simplicity of Psion navigation.
It also takes memory etc. which I can't justify on a program that fundamentally doesn't add any new features/capabilities. Excellent example of the developers skills, but they would be better used on something different. Formerly http://www.jssolutions.cz/shareware_e.htm
