<title>Psion Frequently Asked Questions - Appendix B</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>The FAQ for <tt>comp.sys.psion</tt></h1>
<p>Please note that the software described here is just a small part of
available software and that it would be impossible to track down every
single share/freeware Psion program. Thus I have decided to limit the
list to what you may call "essential" Psion programs. Of course this
is subjective, and if you feel that there is a program which you would
like to see added to the list, please write a mini review in the same
style as these here and mail it me. I'll gladly add it and give you
credit!
<h2>B. COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE SOFTWARE</h2>
<p>This is the official Psion commercial Software list. Thanks to Psion
for providing it. All telephone numbers are UK unless stated
otherwise. Please note that this part has not been updated since
December 1994!
