The first biggest Internet Psion archive started in the UK, at Imperial College (IC): <URL:ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk>. The relevant files are under /packages/psion/icdoc. You can also reach this site through your WWW browser at: <URL:http://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/psion/icdoc/>
The archive is administered by Lee McLoughlin:
There is a mirror of IC for the USA at:
IC being a little slow to get updated (see later), in November 1995, a new site has come to life with the help of Steve Litchfield who generously donated a complete set of his 3-Lib library. It is reachable at: <URL:ftp://ftp.frontiernet.net/pub/psion>. The site is being maintained by Fric mailto:frac@frontiernet.net.
The site is located in Rochester, NY, USA (GMT-5). This makes it a lot harder to reach than IC and transfer rates are *a lot* slower for Europeans. It also has a very low anonymous users limit (IMHO) which can get quite annoying at times (although the limit should raise to 100 users in the near future...), but well, you can't have everything...
Finally, there is also another known site which has some Psion software: <URL:ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de:pub/psion3/> [131.188.2.43]
You have to FTP it into the incoming directory and mail Lee McLoughlin a note about your program and a one line description. He will be transfering your program to the relevent directory *manually*.
The problem is that although Lee is a very nice person, he is also a very busy one. Don't forget that he does this in his spare time, thus it is not high on his priority list! All you can do is be patient...
Place your software in the /incoming directory with a short accompanying description. Fric should take care of it fairly quickly.
A lot of Psion pages have appeared on the World Wide Web and you might like to check these out (no garantees):
Steve Litchfield runs a shareware library in the UK:
From Steve himself:
"3-Lib tries to be *the* clearing-house for new PD & shareware! Authors can send programs in to me and I'll act as the definitive source for others to get new versions etc from, in addition to uploading to Compuserve, CIX, and sending floppies of new stuff to src.doc and some BBS systems etc. Although set up originally for people who have no access to modems, PCs etc, 3-Lib can be useful for those who are on the net and would like large amounts of shareware on floppy disk very cheaply!"
Alternatively, you can send him 4 HD (1.44Mb) disks and £10 with a return envelope to receive the best of library.
