Re: sorry... I'm newbie

Thanks for the link! I'll keep it in my bookmarks. I've always dreamed
of making a terrific scientific calculator out of a Linux PDA :-)

Another option than compiling for Windows CE is implementing xcas as a
HaRET script (http://zap.eltrast.ru/en/haret.html). With this WinCE
tool, you can write on the graphics RAM, you can play with LEDs, dump
files, perform arithmetic calculations... it's very powerful indeed ;-)

More seriously, you could get a second hand iPAQ (typically a very well
supported one, such as a h3600 or h3800), start porting your tool, and
then when the software's ready, the h2200 port should be quite mature.

Good luck!

    :-)
