There it is! I knew I had read it in PSION format somewhere - I actually bought the Pocket Spreadsheet brand new when I was a kid. I’m also amazed that my snippet is exactly how PSION did it, that’s by fluke than design.
If you are still 'passionate' about the pocket spreadsheet (and for others watching).
The biggest issue to overcome to make it seriously useful is the getting the 'data' on and off the Organiser. In the (good) old days you could pass your spreadsheet to Lotus 123 and from there we could send it to PC Four Abacus for example. Now of course Excel wont have anything to do with old spreadsheet software files because of the macro viruses. BUT all is not lost...
If you try different PC Comms servers then you will be presented with different Import and Export file formats - for example
CL.EXE (v211) gives
Wks Wk1 Wr1
Dif
Boris's
Psi2Win gives
Wks Dif
Csv Txt
Txt(tab)
BUT best of all
ORG-Link. After working
with Lostgallifreyan he simply created...
Formula or Numeral
After you have configured the directory and file extensions in ORG-Link you either get a text representation of your spreadsheet or remarkably a file you can open in Excel (or any other) with all the formula intact. You still need to redo the column widths but then again you always did.
Below is a list of the spreadsheet functions that we used to test ORG-Link and is now included in the Republished Spreadsheet Manual. MOD is there look.
