windows

> For me it was a one-way ticket, as it could not convert direct from HP95LX

> If it would help you I still have the above programs that I can e-mail
you.
> The HPPIM is 385kb, the HPLX file converter 1396kb.

> I purchased a REX6000 in Singapore 6 months ago, which has the touch
screen.
> Xircon, or should I say Intel, have from the beginning of this month
stopped

> Although the software from Xircon is for syncronization with Outlook, the
