Converting Psion Files to PC formats

Using PsiWin v2.3, S5 files can be converted to other formats and the accuracy of conversion is dependent on the common functions. (For example, the S5 sheet SUMPRODUCT function is not supported in MS WORKS and only the cell value is transferred). Embedded objects are never converted. So it is with regret that I cannot supply the S5 Encyclopaedia (the equivalent of "Excel" sheets embedded in an "Access" database) for the PC platform. However to wet your appetite, here are a few PC offerings (in MS WORKS & Excel formats).

  1. A multivariable linear regression sheet - for downloading Download?here (12kB zip). Download, extract and load these files and add a chart of residuals to complete your regression suite, thus:-

    Regression graph example

    Experience the power of your regression sheet by curve fitting equations of the type:-

    y=A+B*x

    y=A+b*ln(x)

    ln(y)=A+B*x

    y=A*x^B

    y=A+B*x+C*x^2+D*x^3+E*x^4

    ln(y)=A+B/x+C*ln(x)+D*x+E*x^2 etc.

    The S5 suite of applications with its advanced object embedding appears to outperform MS Works - and that is not bad for PDA software! Now if only Psion would build on their strengths and patch their weaknesses...

  2. Psychrometric spreadsheets for air properties can be downloaded Download?here. (8kB wks).
