jotter

Can anybody explain to me where I can download the jotter programme I use on my notebook? I would install it also on my Psion5.
Thanks & Servus

I'm assuming by "notebook" you are referring to your Psion netBook? The Epoc jotter application (also on the 5mx) is not, as far as I know, available to be used on an S5 Classic, unless someone else knows some clever trickery.

However, you can do a pretty good and very simple simulation of it by using the S5's "Data" app. Create a new file, (call it "Jotter" perhaps? ;) ) with just one single label of the "memo" type - this gives you a text field of unlimited length.

You will find it very similar in use to the netBook's jotter.

Hope that helps

If you do have a netBook and the CD that came with it then you might be able to run the Jotter application that comes on that on your Psion 5. It should install as a normal SIS files does.

Simon, that's pretty much what I thought, but I've tried it before, and I just gave it another go now, but sadly to no avail. It appears to install, but my S5 doesn't recognise the file. I guess ER3 just doesn't support that app?

Shame. Be interested to see if anyone else can make it work.

I followed Julie's advise. It works!

Excellent, Walter. Happy jotting! :D

I notice that the date bug still persists in Jotter. . .

[netBookBabe]

Date bug? I guessed I missed something :confused:

Julie

[dukibean]

Yeah, every single entry is given the current date.

[netBookBabe]

Hmmm, interesting! I never noticed that, because I principally use Jotter on my MC218, rather than the netBook, and that certainly does not have the problem.

Sounds strange that the jotter datebug isnt around on the MC. Its certainly there on the 5mx, and is not a Netbook thing.

[netBookBabe]

How curious! I've just copied my jotter file from the MC218 to the netBook, and yes, I see the problem. Meanwhile, the MC continues to display the correct dates.

I'm off to compare notes with a friend of mine who also owns both MC and netBook.

The Sweedes made some changes when they made the MC218, and was complaining over lack off quality in especially Psiwin. So they actually did fix the datebug too.

I have quite an early version of the 5mx 1.05(250) and there is no Jotter date bug . . .

[jpop]

My 5mx has 1.05 (252) and the dates are different for each entry (no jotter bug). That is a later version than dukibean's post indicated.

My Revo (Mako) is version 1.06 (390) and has no jotter bug.

netBook is version 1.05(254) and HAS the bug.
