is a fully functional spreadsheet program designed to run on

Microsoft CE devices. It has the key features of common desktop
spreadsheet programs. It is fully compatible with Microsoft Excel on
the PC.

Using ActiveSync, fi les created in PTab are automatically converted
to Excel fi les on the desktop PC and Excel fi les are converted back to
PTab fi les on the Allegro.
