ÆA )([Introduction]IntroductionThis is version 2.4 of the Psion 5 data file documentation, dated 19990812.This collection of text files (released both as Psion Word files and as HTML) documents file formats as used by built-in Psion 5 applications. Psion has never released the formats of their saved files, so I had to reverse-engineer them.For those concerned with legalities: I never disassembled or otherwise inspected one single ROM-based Psion application, nor did I use the Psion SDK(Software Development Kit). Instead, I created documents, examined their contents through a hex-editor, modified them, examined them again, etc. until I understood how they were structured and what their contents meant.Because of the way this information is collected, there may be errors in the descriptions. Sometimes I had to make educated guesses or extrapolate about details. Everything was figured out with and checked against my own Psion 5, a series 5 R1 with dutch ROM 1.01(145). You can find the version of your own ROM in the System/Information/Info Series 5 screen. Note that I own a dutch Psion; I have tried to translate all settings and menu options to the best of my abilities, but things may be called a little bitt different on a real UK or USPsion 5.You can send any errors, omissions, translation probems, or comments to frodol@dds.nl. The latest version of this document can always be found through my homepage: http://huizen.dds.nl/frodol/You may use the information in this document in any way you want, as far as permitted by Psion, but I would appreciate an acknowledgement if you do.I would like to thank the following people for their help or input: Andrew Johnson <anj@aps.anl.gov> James <James000@jps.net> Jwan-Luc Damnet <jldamnet@antall.com>Version historyVersion Release date Changes2.4 19990812 Sketch, MFM and Recod files documented.2.3 19990724 Objects in word files documented.
