--------------------------------------------------------------------- SHARP ZAURUS Filer Folder Export Version 1.0 README File --------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (C) 1996 SHARP ELECTRONICS CORPORATION Welcome to ZAURUS Filer Folder Export. Filer Folder Export allows you to access the data contained in a Zaurus Filer folder file on your PC. Typically, you have received such a file as an attachment to an e-mail message which was originated by a Zaurus user. Such an attachment is essentially useless without some means to read the file and save it's contents in a format which is useful to typical PC applications (the native Zaurus Filer format is not useful to most PC applications). This is exactly the void that this utility is designed to fill.
