Hello, I've just gotten the Nokia 9300, and have a couple of .arc backup files from my old Psion from a few years ago.
Is there ay way that I can transfer this info to my 9300?

thanks for any thoughts 😊

I assume *.arc files are compressed with PKARC. Currently I don't know of software that can read *.arc files on the 9300/9500. But of course you could extract them first on your PC with WinZip or WinRAR and then copy them to the 9300.

But, there's a big chance they won't be readable on the 9300. From Psion EPOC R5 to Nokia EPOC R6, they switched from ASCII to UNICODE. So, unless your files are plain text, they're most likely not usable on the 9300 (except maybe view them with a Hex editor).

I made the switch from a Psion 5MX to a 9210i before, and I've been looking for file conversion software between EPOC R5 and EPOC R6, but sofar I haven't found anything.
