It's true, the staff at AllAboutSymbian do love OPL (and Python, but that's another story for Jim to tell!). Presenting HexView for the Nokia 9300/9500, a full hexadecimal file viewer/editor. Steve Litchfield needed the tool at 7.30pm and asked Psion Series 5 author John Boyce if he could send over his old (1997) Psion OPL hex-editing code. John said yes and (despite the technical nature of the app) it took a grand total of one hour to massage it into a working Communicator application. Now that's what I call portable source code. You can download Hexview here and read more about OPL here.
The OPL Apps from RMR Software keep on coming. Next up is RMR Shop, which allows you to build up not only a shopping list, but the location of each item in the supermarket as well, making your trips easier and quicker.
