 I am working on a port and it seems to me that a solution is pretty close. By
 that I mean something in the order of four weeks.

 I am focussing on WinCE 2.0 and later (with the database API strictly using
 the 2.0 calls, that is, no external databases in the first release).

 I am interested in opinions on the port. It seemed to me that a lot of choices
 made for Tk made little sense on WinCE. I decided that the way to go was to
 provide a native extension that lives on top of the Tk implementation and
 provides all native features of WinCE (command bands, property sheets etc.).

 This doesn't blend too well with Tk, and makes for non-portable scripts. On
 the other hand, the memory requirements for native widgets are much smaller
 than those for non-native ones. (creating an empty canvas costs approx. 192
 kB, as the Task Manager tells me).

 Any opinions?

 Marco
