Hi Daniele,

I would love to have such a function in the 5mx. Switch time zones and not only the alarms come off at the correct time, but they are as well recalculated to the new local time zone. That is great.
If I want to phone someone in a different time zone, with the 5mx Agenda I would have to recalculate the Alarm every time I switch a time zone.

OK, you like another behaviour. How about not to change the home city? Just let it untouched and only change the clock.

If you really need to switch the home city (maybe to change the phone numbers,I do not have a 9300), AND want to enter the scheduled times in local time, you would have to switch the home city to the meeting city before entering the time and switch it back afterwards.
Maybe there is a function to choose the time zone on entering the meeting? As I sayed, I don't own a 9300.

Ciao

Answer to: Keith Clarke

Re.: Psion hell - I note you use a hotmail account which you surely understand you cannot use with a Psion. Have a good and safe trip and when you will be back contact the digest again and we will try and sort it out.

Answer to: Prar

Re.: Phones - It all depends what you want your phone to do with the Psion. the SE T610 was also a good phone to have. Currently I use the P910i as modem for the mBook without any problems either. However, phonebook will not work anymore.

Answer to: Charles Davies

Re.: Psion 5mx Hard reset - I am afraid the answer was already in this digest by Kate. If even a hard reset did not work for you the only conclusion is that your Psion needs a repair, assuming you tried the recalibrating of the screen as well. I am afraid I have no other ideas for you.

Re.: Sheer curiosity again - The problem of write protect is quite easy to solve I believe. If you stand on the file and do Ctrl-P you get the possibility to untick the write protect.

Not sure if you gents have come across it before but you might be interested in Chris Hartley`s 'PC Agenda' - a PC program capable of reading and using EPOC Agenda files as input.  It can only output in SiBO Agenda format - but PsiWin can convert this to EPOC Agenda format.  The program is effectively an implimentation of Agenda running natively on PC with it's own GUI and all...

Charles

Displaced icons are either a sign that your flexi is on the way out or that there is a crack in the screen.  I can help you out with both - see www.psionflexi.co.uk <http://www.psionflexi.co.uk/> .

Dear Ian,

>> Mind you, Itamar understood what I meant, so perhaps it wasn't such a badly phrased question after all <<

Yeah, I saw his answer. Seems my parser was out of whack...  Anyway, yet another feature which the UIQ programmers have *removed* from Eikon. I checked with S80 and S90. It's gone there too. Let's see if they've restored it in UIQ 3, e.g. the SE P990.

cheers

Reply to Daniele Squarci.

Caro Daniele, dear all,

I do NOT own a 9300 (I ranted a bit actually against it on the Digest) but I
am sure there MUST be a way!
Anyone with an experience on how this works in UIQ?

Now: adventures of an Epochian in Palm land.

I open my Palm and tap on applications. If my Palm happens to be on appl.
already, no tap is necessary of course.
I tap on preferences.
I tap on day and time.
I change to "San Francisco" in the cities pull-dow menu. Local time changes
automatically in prefs.
I go to calendar with the mapped button. One click.
Local time is San Francisco, all entries appear with the "right" time. This
means that I am supposed to hose my garden before going to work and not
yesterday night while I was in bed.
Also - nice! - the entries in today view start from the ones that - on
Brussels time - were already past (and disappeared from today view) and are
now still to come since I am supposed to be asleep in San Francisco now.
All entries in week, month, year have not moved as well.
A two-taps operation gets me back to Brussels and everything goes back to
normal. Things past (hosing my garden) do not longer appear in today view.

Why should it be any more complicated than this?

My Palm is a TE2, runs on OS 5.4.4 (?) Garnet, and cost six months ago 249€
(shipment included from the Palm shop).  

Kind regards,

Subject: Reading EPOC Agenda files not using EPOC

Hi Folks,

Idris, fortunately I’ve had no problems with any files on my Psion.

My suggestions were really the final resort for David. I *don’t* think that any desktop editor can read Psion Agenda files properly, but it may be possible to read enough to replace most important data. From your post I gather that was possible for you *except* the numerical data. From what you say I imagine it would be necessary to go to a lower level for that.

But *personally* I wouldn’t bother as
a) my Agenda file is pretty simple
          (I’m single, have no children, am unemployed and
          am permanently on the sick-list - but sympathy should
          be given to other more in need as I’m improving
          rapidly now)
b) important entries are duplicated on my 3c Agenda
          (medicine, doctor’s appointments, etc. - memory is
          one of my problems ameliorated by my Psions).
Others, however, are not as lucky.

Incidentally, most text editors interpret files rather than just show the actual characters. For that you need (on my 5mx) “QV5” or “File Pepper”. I’m certain there are equivalent programs for most other systems. There certainly are for DOS and Apple. They can be used to see *any* file, some can even edit them. It can be useful.

Happy days,
Phil.
