The best program for reading Psion agenda files on a PC is PC Agenda, which you can find here: http://www.maison.demon.co.uk/pcagenda.htmIt says it's not tested on XP but it works for me on XP.  You can convert to use on the PC and then back to use on the Psion though that is clunky and involves going via Psion 3C format and using PsiWin again.
Worth a look.

*  I noticed on the new 2.3.3 software, the ability to *  convert EPOC type stuff to Windows-compatible type files. Yahoo! *  BUT, I couldn't get it to convert my Psion AGENDA to any calendar/appt *  book type application that is recognized by Windows. I suppose you

Hello,
You can do it in this way:
1 synchronise the Epoc agenda with Outlook or something else
2 synchronise the Outlook agenda with the GMail or Yahoo
agenda.
Success.
Regards,
Kees.

Subject: 5mx Battery and Soft Reset Problems

When I get a low battery notice on my 5mx, I look at Menu/Information/Battery to see how low the battery is. After changing the batteries I look again and the info is the same. Then I do a reset using ResetPlus (which automatically uses AlarmPlus). Then when I look at the battery info, it's where it should be with new batteries.
After a reset to take care of the battery info problem, I find the 5mx on when I open the case to check the battery info.
I then look at Switch on/off in Control Panel. The box for "Switch on when case is opened" is not checked, but the box for "Switch on
when screen is tapped" is checked, even though the only box I ever have checked is "Switch off when case is closed".
While it's only a slight bother, can anyone explain these 3 phenomena?

Subject: Windows 7 beta & PsiWin

Your question was “Has anybody had a chance to try PsiWin 2.3 with Windows 7 beta yet?”
Well, I certainly did have that chance. For a couple of weeks now and everything works like it should work: no problems in reconnecting, no problems when I copy files. CopyAnywhere stays a brilliant tool! I use Win7 in conjunction with my netBook. Win 7 is beta, but I do not see any improvements possible regarding PsiWin.
Psion RuleZ!
