EPOC/Psion database for field collections

[Dr. Gerald Stinger Guala]

Mark,

I don't know of one made specifically for PSION but Noel Cross had developed
a collections notebook in Java that he had running on a Palmtop. It was
available at the Harvard University Herbaria computer lab. Unfortunately,
Noel has moved on but they may still have it available if you contact
someone in IT like Anne-Marie Countie.

Subject: EPOC/Psion database for field collections


Dear Taxacomers,

I am planning to take a Psion 5mx on a plant collecting expedition
to record field collection data. I had thought about putting data into
a spreadsheet, but a simple database with pick lists would be
better. Does anyone knew of a suitable database application that
has been written for a Psion?

Many thanks, Mark
