Is there a genealogy program for the Psion?
Seems possible. I'm considering buying a 3A or 3C
(wife permitting), and would like to use one if it
exists. If not, I just might have to write one (grin).

Also--I've seen no unsatisfied users of Psion's
products. Is that generally the case, or are only
the happy ones posting?

PS--Anyone have a Psion 3a/c for sale? Thanks!!!

Kevin Groves has written a freeware package called kGene. You can get it
by mailing him at kgr...@cix.compulink.co.uk

I'd highly recommend Kgene - as reviewed in Palmtop Magazine. Download it
from the Palmtop Magazine's new Software reference page.

There are three Psion genealogy programs that are
currently available via the Web: try them and see which
suits you the best. The first two listed are freeware
and the last is shareware.

There are two, serch the newsgroup and binary files. One is called Kgene,
written by Kevin Groves, but I'm not sure what the other is called.

Geni v1.1 is an *excellent* genealogy app for the Psion 3a and 3c. Reads GEDCOM
files, does a nice bit of compression, allows sophisticated browsing.

Look for Geni at:
