What is the advantage of this Transfer (giving an abt file) over just using the normal aba file? On my test Transfer seems to need Psion option not dif(which only carries over figures)

Please give the procedure for converting Abacus files under
Psion 4 (DOS) to Abacus files running on QL (QDOS) and QPC2.
The above is a query received by Quanta Helpline. Does anyone have experience of transferring between these systems?

Xchange for PC and QL both have the Transfer command (F3/Files), for moving data between Abacus's on different machines.
This process can keep formula & data intact, unlike export.
The help pages don't mention the "other" system but it should be worth a try.
If Psion 4 doesn't have this option, an upgrade to Xchange may be needed.
I believe it's on your pages somewhere.
