Eric, can you clarify a few questions I had?
Is the intent of the Pocket PC version to be as compatible as practical
with the larger versions? In other words, how easy will it be to move
applications back and forth between host systems, especially the Pocket
PC as it is so different? I have never played with the Mac or LINUX
versions, but I always felt that applications developed on one system
could move to another as long as one avoided using facilities not
supported on the target systems. And will there eventually be a
statement about things that don't work on the Pocket PC like there is
now for the other systems?
I was hesitant on reporting what I saw as some of the problems with wd
seemed so obvious that either you must have already known about them or
there was something unique about my particular Pocket PC.
A couple of specifics:
You imply that IFWINCE will tell me if an application is running on a
Pocket PC. Can't Windows CE run on laptops and desktops as well?
Also, J seems to disappear on the Pocket PC for no apparent reason. When
the Pocket PC goes to sleep and I wake it up later J is still there, but
other times it's gone.

Thanks for the feedback. Some of the issues you raise may be addressed
before the final release. Some are just quirks of the PocketPC over
which we have no control.
The answer to what may have been your most important question: noun
IFWINCE (like IFJAVA and friends) will help you customize your code
and workaround problems.
