some medical software links etc. which might help for apointment/client management, possibly in any business. I do remember there were quite a few such data managers, but I never had any need for it so I don't know.
Hope this helps.

From: Arne Christensen Subject: How to get
TomTom CityMaps .sis files I have been asked how to get .sis
installation files out of the newest TomTom CityMaps installation
CDs. This was back in April. I did not remember the details back then,
but now I have been forced to reconstruct my method. Here goes, but first
some explanations: The Windows-based CityMaps installation
program is able to install onto four platforms (EPOC, EPOC for Nokia 9210,
Pocket PC, Palm). Because the map files are the largest part of the data on
the CDs (yes, two of them!), they are included only once -- in a format (.abk
file) which is suitable for conversion to any of those four formats. For EPOC
the desired format is a .sis file. The installation program asks
a few questions (approve license etc) before you can start installing maps.
The map installation process is a bit convoluted: You are asked to name the
city or location (large or small) for which you want a map. This name is then
looked up in a table, giving the .abk file name (which you don't normally
see, but wait a second!) The installation program then gives you the list of
other (small) locations that are found in the same map. Normally, this is
quite a long list. Once you approve this is indeed the map you want, the
important stuff happens. First, a (fairly fast) conversion
process takes place, whereby the .abk file is converted to each of the
supported formats. Yes indeed, all four of them, even though you have already
indicated that you have an EPOC device. Then the PsiWin SIS installer is
invoked and passed the name of the EPOC .sis file. And now the
trick: DO NOT CONNECT the cable to your Psion! This will (naturally) cause
PsiWin to complain after some time that the Psion cannot be contacted. The
important thing is that -- before PsiWin is invoked -- the .sis file is
stored somewhere in a directory on your PC. If you can find it, you can also
copy it to some other place. Once you have done that, cancel the installation
(in PsiWin). The CityMaps installation program will then clean up (remove the
generated files) and give you the opportunity to select another map. If you
are like me, you will do this numerous times, with one map after the other,
thus collecting .sis files for all the maps you need. Oh,
somebody is asking "where is that !@#$ .sis file stored?" Say the map file is
Cannes.abk. Then the generated .sis file is {temporary
directory}\Cannes\Cannes.sis. The {temporary directory} differs from one
Windows version and installation to the next. In my case, it is "E:\Documents
and Settings\arne\Lokale indstillinger\Temp" because I have my Windows
installation on "E:", it is Win2000, and my login name is "arne". The easiest
may be to use the File Search function of Windows to find the .sis file. Once
you have found the first one, the rest will be located in the same place.
Note that "Cannes" is both a directory name and the main part of the file
name. You will find installation files for the other platforms in other files
in the same directory. Nokia 9210 files are also .sis files, but a placed in
a subdirectory. Why would you go to such great length in order
to get .sis installation files for your maps? I do it in order to avoid
drowning the Add/Remove function of my Psion with maps. Each installed map is
visible here. Thus I bring we me to exotic locations a set of .sis files, and
install the maps I need when I need them. One caveat: When installing on the
Psion a .sis file that resides already on the Psion, it needs to be NOT
write-protected, and the installation process will remove the file
afterwards! Be sure to make a copy of the file before installing
it. I have one offer here: I have made an overlay file for the
French map in RoutePlanner with approximate locations of all the CityMaps
maps. I use this to figure out which city map to install. Anybody who
volunteers to put this overlay file on a Web site or FTP server for others to
use? I have built the overlay file based on the map file names, which almost
always matches a city name, but no doubt I have made a mistake or two.
Contact me off list, arne (at) chr (dot) dk. I may be slow in responding, as
vacation is coming up. -- Arne

would be to do it the other way-around; input client records using another
application, and then sync these with Agenda. Now, I haven't
thought about it in detail (and I am in fact a bit rusty), but the Mentor
application may well fit the bill (if being slightly over-kill). You would
enter a client visit as a task which needed doing, storing this in a folder
named after the client, and then choose to sync with Agenda. When the
meeting finished, you would tell Mentor the task was
completed. I never used Agenda sync functionality, but I believe
it works reasonably well with ER5 Psions (i.e. any Psion after the original
5). N.B. Mentor can seem quite a daunting app, but it isn't so
hard once you have memorised what all the little symbols mean next to each
task, and it has a VERY good manual. When I registered, I was actually sent
a real print-on-paper manual! Oh, and it is shareware, and has a
limited trial period after which you will loose access to your data (until
registered). The trial period shouldn't stop you from creating a new Mentor
file, if you need more time to evaluate it. Regards, Chris

Kempster Dear Subscribers, Gary Jenkinson has taken
the initiative to try and arrange for a wreath to be delivered to the funeral
or flowers to the family (depending on how fast we can arrange this) of
Darryl. As there is very little time it is impossible to start opening a
separate account for this matter only, and anyone interested in joining this
idea can send his/her donation in cash or by cheque (on UK bank please) to
Gary Jenkinson, 10 Vinecote Road, Coventry CV6 6EA, United Kingdom.
Gary will contact Darryl's family via his former work and will
make the necessary arrangements. Any money left will be given to a charity to
be choosen by the family. Gary will report back to the digest how much he
received, spent on the flowers and sent to the charity. Please send Gary a
short email to "garyjenkinson<address truncated>" if you want to participate so he
will know as soon as possible how much money will be coming. We
thank Gary for his initiative and hope that many of the subscribers will join
him and us. Itamar Engelsman [PS. Until now we
stayed clear of monetary matters in the digest. We understand that some of
you might not agree with this appeal. We request you kindly not to start
discussions about this. If you don't agree, just don't participate. We will
not make this a general idea, it is clearly a very special exception to the
rule] *++++++++++& To reply or to
