windows ce

[Gerard Saraber]

Hi,
As I stated in my previous email, (maybe not clear enough) you can get
the Windows CE Platform SDK from microsofts website, this comes with all
the .H .LIB and .DLL files you need to develop CE apps, the only thing
NOT included AFAIK is the actual cross-compiler, which you can obtain
from MS for $199, in addition to the crosscompiler you also need Visual
C++ 6.0.
The only thing i seem to be missing (i didn't dig in the header files
enough yet) is a standard C library, or something similar so i can do
fopen, fread, fclose etc.

Regards,
Gerard Saraber
