That sounds very helpful. My own device is ARM-based. The Microsoft emulators seem to be ARM as well, at least those for WM 6.1 Pro that I've been testing with.
Is this the platform used by typical PDA/Phone devices targeted by NS Basic/CE? If so I know which of the CABs to use out of those I have for the 3rd party DLL I want to use. If I try adding the provided INI file to Resources the NS Basic/CE IDE seems happy to pick it up as if it would go ahead and use it. From what you're saying I suppose that's the wrong thing to do though. i haven't tried using it in this manner, I merely added it to see what might occur. I'll extract the ARM DLLs and proceed in that manner. Thanks!
