XTC68 (NT) Does work with long filenames. I used it a while back and I
had no problems with a path of 32 characters and more than 8+3 char
length filenames.

I concur. I have to see my CE devices (Datalogic Memor CE Based Barcode
scanners) but there is no reason why it shouldn't . IIRC there is a
standard Win32-style console.

There is interest of course (count me in), but that would require a
jailbroken iPhone with ceedia etc for installation. Apple won't let
anyone post ANYTHING like it on the AppStore especially for something as
powerful as s*basic.
 (Remember what happened with the c64 emulator fiasco :-) )
