Are you going to port the ICE TCP emulator to WinCE?
« on: March 18, 2008, 01:15:26 pm »

As said in the title, do you have a plan to port your terminal emulator to WinCE?
I'm looking a Wyse60 emulator on WinCE. I don't really expect a lot of features for the WinCE version. It is just fine as long as the wyse60 emulator works.

By the way we are a long time ICE user. Here is the old version we are still using ;):
Emulation Version: 6.09n
Windows Interface Version: 6.6.3

We're going to upgrade to your new version soon.

Thanks in advance!

Since the core of the emulator is written in x86 assembler, it will not port to most CE devices which are ARM based.

 ::) I got you.

However, I don't see you really need x86 assembly for your emulator at all. An emulator is not that time critical. You porbablly want to port your code into C or C++ for much easier project management and portablity as well. Is the asm code a one man's job? :P

When the core was written it was very time critical (because of the speed limitations of that generation of PC's).
The core is quite large. It would require a very large amount of time to recode in a higher level language.
