!SIBOConv

!SIBOConv
Version V3.81

Overview

!SIBOConv is the RISC OS portation of a collection of file converters of Andrew Brooks which converts Psion S3 files from and to more common formats which can be used under RISC OS. Please note this software is not Freeware but PostCardWare. That means that if you are using this programs regulary you have to send a postcard of the city where you live to:

Andrew Brooks
c/o Satellite Station, Dundee University
DD1 4HN
Scotland

The programs are open source. You can obtain the source from Andrew Brooks Homepage. Of course if you are RISC OS user you can get the sligthly modificated source from myself too.

At general questions you should talk to Andrew Brooks. If you have questions about the RISC OS-Version which is more likely please talk to me first.

You can use the programs in command line mode but normally I prepared !SIBOConv for usage whith PsiFS of Alexander Thoukydides.
