All, I am not sure if the XTC68 will work with long filenames or not. There is no such limitation built into the C68 part of the source, but it might be a limitation of the fact that it is compiled as a DOS console application at the Visual Studio level?
As to whether it can run on Windows mobile, I cannot see any fundamental limitation if you have access to a simple Console style window. The system does not use anything demanding in terms of underlying OS support - basically just standard file access operations. Even if that is not standard with Windows Mobile there is sure to be a 3rd party app that provides it. After all we got the software to work on the Psion 3a and Psion 5 which are far more limiting platforms. I might see if I can build it to run on my iPhone - that would be of more interest to me personally. I am not sure how feasible it is, but as the underlying OS on the iPhone is Unix based it should be possible without too much pain I would have thought. If I do that I would probably add a graphic front-end to make running it easier. While I am at it, is there any interest in one of the QL emulators running on the iPhone/iTouch? I have been thinking of looking at porting one of them for some time.

I also did not realise, that XTC8 was in fact C68. Just goes to show you. I aam wondering if XTC68 can run under Windows Mobile. Derek Adrian D.
