WinCE/PocketWindows?

[Robert & Jennifer Hartley]

Hi,

(Please forgive me if this has already been examined, as this is my
first post.)

I am curious to know if a version of WINE has been considered that
would be made to run WinCE (CE) and PocketWindows (PW) applications
on Linux PDAs.

I have been working with the Agenda VR3 PDA from www.agendacomputing
that runs Linux very well on a MIPS processor.

I also received a free set of Embedded Tools CDs from MicroSoft that
have VC++ and VB on them for building CE and PW applications.

The platforms it supports are X86, MIPS, ARM, and SH3, and I believe
there are others.  There is a compatability layer that runs on WinNT
to test before deploying.  If we had that emulated in Linux, then we
would be most of the way towards being done. (Or so I would imagine.)

Naturally, since I am a Linux/Unix guy, I was thinking that it would
be neat to have these CE/PW apps running on my X86 Linux box, my
NetWinder, my venerable old Indy, and finally, once debugged, on this
Agenda Linux PDA.

The WINE community has already done a huge amount of great work, so I
thought that maybe a cut down version of WINE would work on the CE/PW
subsets of Windows.

Being an outsider, could someone let me know if I am totally out there
in LaLa Land?

Thanks,

Rob
