PDA version of APL WIN?

I asked a couple of years (?) ago and was told they were not interested. Interestingly Visual APL (the .NET version) seems to be able to build into the Pocket PC version.

I'm with you, Tom. I'm getting ready to develop a new application that must have, at the least, data access, edit, and collection capability on a PDA. I've never used Dyalog before and would rather avoid the learning curve.

I wonder what the technical ramifications would be if you ran a Visual APL app on a PDA? Is enough of the .NET environment available there to build good applications? Are there any licensing requirements that would cause a problem on a PDA?

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that you can, that is, Pocket PC is a target operating system.

Since Visual APL "compiles" to .NET, if .NET can run on a PDA, then Visual APL should also.

However, the learning curve for Visual APL is pretty steep. We're out of the workspace and into .NET directly.

I'm disappointed that APL+WIN doesn't have an implementation for PDA's.
