There is no reason why it could not be made to run, except for the
fact that most of these PDA's have very limited RAM. If an MC exe
takes up ~2mb of space then that's got to hurt the poor guy who owns
a PDA. If however, it can be setup such that the user is told that
this *runtime* app is required to run your stack and all of us agree
to such a runtime stack which we can all use to test our stuff then
that's fine. But if I make a calendar, and johnny makes a colour
picker and both are compiled then that's 4mb of exe files for
essentially 2 8k stacks.
Some thought and agreements between us and Scott, *and* how to market
this would be required.
