EPOC Symbian 5mx emulator

[Ian Russell]

I have installed this emulator after some difficulties associated with
Windows XP and virtual drives. It now works very well on OPL programs and
handles files transferred via PsiWin ok, BUT:

(1) When I try to link in to my PSIWIN-created backup folder, by setting it
up as a new disk drive on the emulator, it appeared to work, making the
backup files accessible but some of the applications (WORD, SHEET etc.)
would not open. I uninstalled the emulator and went back to square 1.
Anyone have any ideas of what could be wrong?

(2) I use Psion Money a lot. When I tried to install it on the Emulator - by
copying over the Apps\Money and Install\Money.SIS files together with my
current Money data files all that I got was a message about the installation
file being corrupt. Any ideas on how to do this? - Ian Russell

1) Seems more complex than necessary. Why not just copy the backup into the
emulator C: drive or even nominate the latter as the backup folder?

2) The emulator is not binary compatible with real Psions. Generally only
special "WINS" versions of applications will work on it.
