PTab File Converter
On the Allegro CE CD-ROM is a program called “PTab File
Converter.” You must install this on the desktop PC to facilitate the
conversion of PTab and Excel files to and from the Allegro and the
desktop PC. Refer to the Windows CE File Transfer Programs,
Transferring Files Between the Allegro CE and the Desktop PC section
found earlier in this chapter for important details.
Saving PTab Files
When you select File|Save or File|Save As, PTab automatically sets
the path to \C_Drive\C_MyDocs\. Your file is saved to the non-
volatile solid state storage. We recommend that you use the C_Drive
as the primary storage area.
