Off Topic - Win CE Devel Tools?
It's not the best group for this question, but there are probably a
number of people from this group who might have some qualified recommendations. I'd like to write some programs for my Compaq Aero. First on my list is a weight and balance program customized for my glider, but there are a small number of other applications of that magnitude which would be really handy to have on a pocket device like my Compaq Aero. Any recommendations out there for an inexpensive (under $200??) development tool set w/ emulator for XP that I can use to develop these sort of apps? I figure visual basic is probably the most likely candidate, but since my last significant programming efforts were in Fortran or Basic, I'm probably going to have to do some catch-up no matter which language I go with. Thanks! Mark Remove the additional "hot" from my reply to to e-mail direct. |

Many of the Microsoft development tools for Win CE (including Visual Basic and C++) are, strangely enough, free for downloading from: http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/d...e/default.aspx A worthy alternative for quick and dirty development is the Python language, of which there are two free implementations for Win CE: http://fore.validus.com/~kashtan/ http://www.murkworks.com/Research/Python/Overview Marc |

If you are using XP and the Embedded Visual tools from Microsoft do NOT
install service pack 2 to XP. It kills the emulation environment! A known fault but without resolution at this point. Ian "Marc Ramsey" wrote in message m...

Hi
There is also a free language called Super Waba www.superwaba.com It is JAVA language and you can generate code for Windows CE and Palm OS with the same source! Cheers, FW.

Mark, since you said you want to develop for Aero 1550 you need eVC3
not eVC4 if you go with Microsoft tools. Both of these are free, but eVC 4 is only useful for PocektPC 2003 and above you can use eVC3 for PocketPC 2003 and above as well though it depends on the details of what you are doing, and you may want to use eVC4 to compile the code for these devices.
