- On the Psion:
- Run the spreadsheet you wish to transfer to the ARM.
- Press <Menu> and select File, Save as, or press <Psion-A>.
- Insert a suitable filename, highlight File type and select WK1
- (or WKS); the file extension will be added to the filename.
- Press <Enter>.
-
- Plug in A-Link into the expansion socket on the Psion.
- Plug in the external power supply.
- On the Psion System screen select Remote link:
-
- Remote link
- Baud rate
-
- Press <Enter>.
-
- On the ARM: Load !PocketFS.
- Click <Menu> over PocketFS icon and click on Open '$'.
- Open directory M and then sub-directory SPR.
- The original file ending in /spr with file type PBAbacus (fbc),
- is immediately followed by the new WK1 file shown as a DOS
- file, filetype (fe4).
-
- Drag the DOS file from sub-directory SPR to a suitable
- directory on the ARM (ideally a DOS format disc or partition):
- after transfer it will appear as a red 123 file icon, filetype
- WK1 (db0).
- Delete the .WK1 file from sub-directory SPR as it is no longer
- required. (Alternatively, you could have moved the file by
- holding down <Shift> whilst dragging the file icon).
-
- Click <Menu> over the PocketFS icon and click on Dismount.
-
- On the Psion: Set Remote Link to Off and press <Enter>.
-
- On the ARM: Load !PD123.
- Drag the red 123 file to be converted onto the PD123 icon.
- Save as: change leafname PDFile to suitable filename.
- Drag PD file icon onto suitable directory on ADFS format disc.
-
- The conversion was probably completed by the previous steps.
- Load the converted PD file into PipeDream, and if necessary,
- edit the spreadsheet to rewrite the few expressions that PD123
- did not convert correctly.
