VReader5 is a "vertical" reader for the Psion Series5 and the Geofox One.

It allows reading texts (eBooks) in a choice of styles and orientations, with searching bookmarking and autoscrolling facilities.

Text formats supported in this version are:
- plain ASCII
- OPL source
- "TCR" format (mostly used on the Series3 in the Reader application)
- "Aportis doc" format (mostly used on the Palm Pilot)

The SIS file includes versions in English, US-English, German, Swiss-German, Italian, Norwegian, Finnish, Belgian-French, Swiss-French, French.
If you have neither MessageSuite nor PsiWin installed, you should first find INSTEXE.EXE from any Psion shareware/freeware distribution site to be able to install the provided SIS package. 

The translator's name for each version is given in the About screen

Note that if you use a language version on a Series5 with a keyboard layout meant for another country, you'll have to edit a string in the messages file to get the quick bookmark access to work properly, see the Help file for details.

Help is currently available only in English and French, it's installation is optional. Another option at installation is for a prototype messages file that is only needed if you intend to translate VReader5 menus, messages and shortcuts into another language.
