Re: A89: PalmTops and 68k
Natively, no, WinCE cannot run ANY (repeat ANY) app made for the PC. You
have to have the source code for the app, be in either C, C++, or
VisualBASIC, and it has to be modified slightly to fit the WinCE
<environment>.
Although you can use an emu (like I suggested previously), you are right in
saying that the best way is to write a compiler specifically for WinCE.
But what seams to be the biggest problem to me is to get the com link to
work for the Calc<-->H/PC tranfers to work. =P
