Hi,

I think it would be possible to develop a Pocket PC to PC autoplayer, but it
would take some time.
IMHO, it is possible, to accurately determine the strenght of Pocket PC programs
on a PC. Many Pocket PC engines are identical to their PC versions, so there
only
remains a difference in nodes per second, hashtablesize, and probably tablebases
(which seem to have very little effect on practical playing strenght on a PC).
You only need to reduce the speed/thinkingtime and hashtablesize of a PC engine
to make it play like it's Pocket PC version.

Best,
Frank
