File names all start with '''WP''' for Wikipedia, followed by '''(P)PC''', '''PALM''' or '''EPOC''' for platform, followed by a '''two letter language code''' (EN, DE, EO, FR or NL).<p>

For Palm users the English database comes in 6 chunks: WP_EN_PALM_'''AB''', etc.

Very small '''DEMO''' files are also available, containing just a handful of articles from the English Wikipedia.
