I believe you can make MS-DOS applications with the Borland Builder though.  And you can buy a DOS emulator for PocketPC called PocketDos.  <br><br>Borland builder is a C++ program right?  If you are skilled in C++, you can order or download from Microsoft, embedded Visual C++.  Or you can try Orbworks Pocket C at <br><br>Best of luck!<br>   -TechMage 8)

Would it be an option to write a 'translator' that translates Delphi code to EVC? Just a thought. Such a tool would be a great commercial success, I believe. :)

The point is that i don't know Visual C++, and I have a student licens of C++ Builder. That's why I asked. <br><br>By the way Pocket C sucks, I looked at it when i had a Palm.

You can download EVC for free. :) Should be a piece of cake to get the hang of it. Just register here, ask stupid questions and we'll have you coding cool stuff in no-time. Trust me. :)

Sassur:for programming PPC you can download embedded VC++ from microsoft with PPC emulator (for w2k) for free. It's a 303mb download thru (the old version, don't know how much does the PPC2002 version take) , I can put it on my ftp if you have problems downloading it. I'm on a 1mbps connection(I'm from Poland)<br>Additional advantage is taht EVC++ looks and feels exactly the same way as VC++ so once you learn it you can easily start developing win9x/2k aps using VC++.<br><br>Phantom:Who needs delphi?:P :) It would be surelly possible, but it's a lot of work.. not really something for a small team. It might be a commercial success, althrought it would have some drawbacks too (for ex.it would cost quite much while evc++ is for free so most ppl(esp. hobby programmers) would go for evc++ anyway if they know c++ basics)
With best regards,

Why don't you give a try to eVB, it comes with eVC++.<br><br>And don't know Visual Basic programming but I have read that it is as simpler as Delphi.<br><br>But I prefer eVC++.
