EPOC/Psion database for field collections

[Abdul Ghafoor]

I have, most of the time, recorded data in a ordinary cassette (60 minutes)
in my hand held secretarial style cassette player and then transferred it to
notebook and also noted in the note book after tagging the specimens. Back
in the herbarium transferred the data to
computer.
Irwin's suggestion is very good also and rather best.

Good luck with ur field work.
