That sounds like it would be *really* useful. I'd even love to do it !!
However - I've never compiled for the PocketPC - but I can download the 
SDK if someone can point me to the files and the compile chain...

I also have no direct experience of directly calling the windoze API - 
but I *need* to learn. My only experience of calling an OS API was the 
Amiga which was a joy to program for... that was a while ago though. 
Similarly I am just migrating from Python to Pyrex/C - so have very 
little experience of any of the steps necessary (although a familiarity 
with some of the concepts and C structures I guess). Learning to use 
ctypes was 'on my list of things to do' anyway.

Do you think a project like this likely to be well over my head ? 
(Obviously an impossible question - but if you think it's middle of the 
range difficulty htne I can tackle it a step at a time... if it's a 
fairly high level of difficulty then it's probably outside the bounds of 
possibility).

Regards,

Fuzzy
