Correct me if I'm wrong, but......
To my computer programming illiterate brain, hasn't the vast majority of work been done to get EPOC to operate on a PC using the emulator?
If the answer is yes, then would it be possible with the collective brains/computing programming power available through the readership of these boards for the emulator to be brought up to date/rewritten?
Couldn't the task be project managed and taken on Linux-style where everybody contributes? This would involve someone/a steering group making themselves responsible for co-ordinating the efforts to avoid duplication, and also to negotiate with Psion/Teklogix to allow it to be done?
Can't you just tell I'm doing a Project Mananagement module on my course to come up with this idea? (BSc Disaster Studies @ Coventry University!)
I'd be interested to know others thoughts.
Please take part in the poll I've initiated to register your interest in this project.
Kind regards,
Gary Jenkinson

I am quite puzzled by this poll, since AFAIK the EPOC emulator was designed for Windows NT4, and therefore should work better on Windows XP than on Windows 98.

Is this assumption wrong?

Chris, your assumption is correct.

I've got mine running under win2000 without any problems at all....and believe me I'm no expert!
