Description
-----------
	Programs for reading and writing Data (DBF) files and Sheet
	(SPR) files, and reading Agenda (AGN) and Word (WRD) files.

	These programs are simple command-line driven utilities for
	converting Psion files.  They should compile and run fine
	on Unix machines and hopefully (untested at the moment) on
	DOS or other machines.

	This is release 3.7: the differences from release 1 include
	Sheet support, repeating Agenda entry support, plus some bug
	fixes and minor modifications.  The differences from release
	2 are the inclusion of WRD support and the ability to handle
	databases containing field types other than just strings.


Installation
------------
	Please read the INSTALL file.  You MUST make the necessary
	changes to the Makefile regarding byte ordering.
