Title:File-Handling and other programs for the Psion Organiser II
Author:Mike Shaw
Description:This answers one of the questions most often asked by users of the Psion Organiser II...
"How do I write a program to handle my own file requirements?"
It explains the process in detail, provides a number of 'functions' to assist users when writing their own programs, and includes two extensive and comprehensive file handling programs which demonstrate the whole process and which can be adapted to suit a diverse variety of individual needs. In addition, a number of other useful programs have been included, giving the user facilities ranging from converting currency on overseas trips to finding out the date of Easter, from now until eternity.
Every routine in the book is fully explained, so that as well as having a useful utility, the user will be able to further understand the workings of Organiser's programme language OPL in many respects, this book complements Mike Shaw's earlier book 'Using and Programming the Psion Organiser II' - but is not dependent on that book.

Title:A Dabhand guide: Psion LZ - A Users' Guide to OPL
Author:Ian Sinclair
Description:The LZ models of the well-established Psion Organiser extend the uses of this excellent machine in several directions. The most important change is to a four-line screen, which allows better user of menus, and the introduction of several new features, including International time and telephone code data, a stop-watch action, and the use of a Notepad which can be password protected.
The expansion of the screen size, along with improvements to the OPL programming language, however, now make this a machine which is not only extremely rewarding to program for yourself, but one which has endless uses through the built-in programs, leading to a better understanding of the computer.
Whether your LZ is your first Psion machine or a replacement for an earlier model, you will find here the way to better understanding and complete command of this outstanding miniature computer.
Ian Sinclair is Britain's leading computer author. With over 120 books to his credit he has established himself as perhaps the most authoritative and most readable computer writer of his time, a fact which has led to international acclaim.

Title:Machine Code Programming on the Psion Organiser
Author:Bill Aitken
Description:Machine Code programming gets down to the most fundamental elements of a computer, it is a very precise and unforgiving art. This book seeks to give the background needed to understand what machine code is, and uses the Psion Organiser II to demonstrate how programming can be practically achieved.
The micro-processor used in this hand-held computer has a "regular", well behaved instruction set and so is particularly suitable for this learning exercise.
Psion users are lucky that a slightly more advanced language system "OPL" exists which shortcuts many of the more tedious aspects of low level programming. The contents of this book apply to the models CM, XP, and LZ.
