We are developing navigation software components in c++ and one primary platform for this are PDAs with WinCE. The chance of switching away from c++ is lesser than zero without being able to run on that platform. Even JAVA runs on those devices allthough a smaller one than normal and a little slow. Ignoring the fact that maybe only few people would like to do a port, what would be the primary tasks to do it? WinCE is quite different from Win32, I don't know how open the ocaml-source is with respect to porting it to another platform (specially ARM CPU). comments and hints are greatly welcome :-) Michael
