I think it's a very good point if we have a VFP runtimes for Windows Mobile.
I think this idea must be THE FIRST AND ONLY new feature on future VFP version. (no need more SQL-commands, no need more new functions, ...)

>I have tried to run a small vfp app on my PDA. As expected, it won't run. However, space is not the problem. Although the runtime files are quite fat, the tiny 512Mb Mini SD card can handle them with ease. No, the problem is the operating system: Windows Mobile.

>Everybody seems to accept the incompatibility as a fact of life and those who want to develop for a PDA are adviced to use another product. But is it really impossible for the vfp-team to develop a VFP for Mobiles?
>
>I have taken a look at the commands and fuctions of VFP. What can be removed from such a runtime? It is quite a big list IF we could agree that certain features need not be present in those runtimes. For example, it does not need to support multi-user. Let's also forget database containers and connection via ODBC to, for example, SQL-Server. Connection to Excel and Word? Eventually yes. Let's also forget transaction processing. And why support (direct) printing?

>My proposal is that we ask the vfp-team to develop a thin runtime that actually does run on a PDA. Below is a tentatively built list of functions and commands that can be omitted, as I see it now.

>Unrealistic? Or worth the effort? Should we ask the vfp-team to investigate once again, or would it merely be an idealistic, naive attempt?
