Pocket Wikipedia



Pocket Wikipedia was created to work on PocketPC systems. After that was ported on Windows and Linux systems. Because the large size of the database file all OS versions of Pocket Wikipedia are distributed in one zip archive. To work on your system you have to copy two files on your disk like described below.

This archive contains the following files:
Wikipedia.wiApplication database
Wikipedia.exePocketPC executable
WikipediaW.exeWindows executable
WikipediaLLinux executable
readme.htmlthis installation help file


1. PocketPC installation


Copy Wikipedia.wi and Wikipedia.exe files in the same directory on your storage card using Active Sync. Open Windows explorer on your device, locate and execute Wikipedia.exe.

2. Windows installation


Copy Wikipedia.wi and WikipediaW.exe files in the same directory on your disk and execute double click on WikipediaW.exe file

3. Linux installation
