II have also written the following programs for the Series 3 & Series 5
SeaStrike
SeaStrike (or Battleships for the Series 3a/3c) is the classic strategy game for Psion computers.
The game supports multiple skill levels, game saving and statistics and, for the Series 5, full Pen support.
CrosWord
Crosword is a program for the Series 3a/3c that will allow you to create, edit and play crossword type puzzles.
The program can use a database of words/clues, which can easily be added to using the program or the built-in Data application. The program will attempt to fit words from this database into the CrosWord puzzle as it is being created.
Puzzles created can be passed on to others users of the program.
HangMan
This is a version of the classic game designed for the 3a/3c.
HangMan comes with a number of word category files, which can be added to by the user. These files are split across a number of files, so the user does not have to keep a large number of words on their machine at once. The user is therefore able to store only those category files they wish to use, or their machine has memory for. New category files can also be built from scratch by the user. Statistics are recorded for each game you play.
I Ching
I Ching is an implementation of the anicent Chinese book of changes for the 3a/3c.
The "coins" used for building the reading can be cast automatically by the program, or the user can throw the "coins" manually and enter the results into the program. Using either method, a reading will then be displayed based on the result of the throws.
Software Catalogue
I have created a Software Catalogue giving details of the programs I have written, including screen shots, in Windows Help File format. this can be obtained from CIX, CompuServe or direct from the author.
Obtaining the Software
All of these programs can be obtained from my own Web site at http://freespace.virgin.net/mark.avey/homepage.htm. They can alse bo found on CIX and CompuServe on-line services, as well as from other dedicated Psion Bulletin Board services and from Steve Litchfield's 3-Lib Psion Shareware Library.
If you have any difficulty obtaining the software, please send a disk and return postage to

{ACallCalc is a program which allows you to time telephone calls, calculate the cost of those calls and keep a log of all calls made.
User definable lists are used to store Rates, Discounts and Frequently Called Numbers. These can be selected during a call to speed up data entry.

ANew CallCalc files can be created in 2 ways:-
From within the program
To create a new file from within the program, use Ctrl-N or select New... from the File menu
From the System screen
From the System screen, use Ctrl-N, or select New file from the toolbar. Type in the file name you require (long filenames with spaces are supported) and change the Program line to CallCalc. Pressing Enter will then launch the program with the newly created file.
QAThe program may be started by either selecting CallCalc from the Extras bar or by navigating to a directory containing a CallCalc file (by default, the Documents/CallCalc directory) and selecting the file.
When launching from the Extras bar, the program follows the convention of the built-in applications and loads the last used file.
|AThis on-line Help file will close down when the pogram exits normally. If. for some reason (e.g. a System reset), the program shuts down abnormally, the Help file may remain open. If this happens, the next time you try and launch Help, you will get an "In use" error message. To resolve this, press Ctrl-System to get the task list, look for "Help", highlight it and click Close.
EWhen you register CallCalc, I will send you a code which unlocks all features of the program. This will allow you to store an unlimited number of log entries and up to 100 entries in the Discounts, Rates and Frequently Called Numbers lists. It may also prompt me to produce more Shareware!
