7. THE EMULATOR

   Psion, in their great generosity, have released their Psion emulator
   for the Series 3 and later on for the Series 3a. This is a PC product.
   Also please note that it is completely *unsupported* by Psion and do
   not ask them for new versions, other platforms, etc... I think that it
   was quite nice of them to offer their users (and potential users) such
   a nice tool. We wouldn't want it to stop, would we? The files are
   available as usual in the IC archive in the development directory.
   
  7.1 Limitations & bugs
  
   The following limitations & bugs were reported:
     * The keyboard is only "British" and doesn't accept your regular
       keyboard map (either use one of the techniques described in the
       "Can I change the keyboard?" section or see below for a more
       permanent way around this problem);
     * No sound;
     * The system screen "loses" your configuration each time you launch
       the emulator;
     * It only works in DOS with 4Mb RAM and at least a 386 processor;
     * Caps lock works but doesn't show the symbol like on a real Psion;
     * Shift diamond key doesn't work;
     * It doesn't accept direct keyboard scan codes - this is mostly used
       in games.
       
  7.2 Tips & tricks
  
     * Alt+Ctrl+shift+S makes a screen snapshot and automatically
       increases the screen number in the file (unlike the real Psion);
     * Alt+Ctrl+shift+C shows some memory parameters (useful for
       development);
     * Ins key on the numeric keypad (0 key) switches between
       applications like Shift-System button on the real Psion;
     * If you replace the 480 by 160 in the HHSERV.PAR file by 640 by
       480, you will get a complete screen on your PC.
       
  7.3 Changing permanently the keyboard mapping (by Uwe Kallmeyer)
  
   The keyboard map is held internally in the file EPOC.DLL. You must
   thus patch this file to suit your own keyboard. It contains three
   tables, one for Psion/Ctrl keys, one for shifted keys and one for
   normal keys. These tables start at locations (for the file dated
   4.12.94, size 94736):

                        Psion/Ctrl     $35D8
                        Shift          $33D8
                        Normal         $32D8

FAQ stop.

--------

Please read the "readme.txt" along with the Zip-file.

When you install it - say on C:\s3a-emu

then you make some directory under this: dr_m, and dr_a and so on ..

Then you make a bat file like this:

--
subst m: c:\s3a-emu\dr_m
subst a: c:\s3a-emu\dr_a
subst b: c:\s3a-emu\dr_b
echo off

c:
cd \
cd s3a-emu
s3aemul
subst m: /D
subst a: /D
subst b: /D

c:

-----
And call this say: s3a.bat

Then you can start the emulator by this bat file. And you will have a 
drive m: (internal), and a: and b:

--

Under these you make the normal Psion directorys:

app
agn
wrd
wdr
opo
opl

..
and so on..



 
I hope this help you get started ..
