Which format are the WM/Palm/BB files in?
There may be a reader available...

:-)
Trygve

Drug database is "epocrates on-line" only available for
WM/Palm/BB
These devices wirelessly sunc up on a regular basis
keeping all drugs updated - too much of a task to do
manually
no export function is available on this database
there used to be a BNF datafile but updating was abandoned
around 2003

Att.: ashoni

Re.: drug database on psion - Is there not a database available that can be translated into Excel or csv files and than imported into the sheet program or one of the database programs available for Epoc ?

Best regards,

Itamar

I have looked high & low for a regularly updated database that could be exported to excel or csv or data or other format which could be converted - but to no avail
If anyone is aware of such a thing please let me know

Oh good, Im first :-)

Interesting Linux-based smartphone from Palm has been announced. As a Nokia N810 tablet user, Im always happy to see Linux being used in consumer devices. Going up against the iPhone and Android-based devices won't be easy, but its good to see someone else step up, if nothing more than to keep everyone else on their toes. Its also one more OS to further marginalize Windows Mobile.

My comment: "I am ashamed to sell Psion products".

I see no reason to be proud of a company, which claims any nonsense- trademarks.
