There is no command line mode in Pocket PC. You would have to write a graphic UI of some sort. Also, the OS is based on Unicode, not Ansi, so strings may need to be ported. There are very few ways to get the current time, so your time code will probably have to change. There may be a few other things, but I can't remember them right now. I have a version of GLC that runs on Pocket PC. If you have any more questions I'll try to answer them. At least the compiler, etc., is free for download, or $15 on a CD (I went for the latter as the download is very large). Cheers, Tim.
