Re: [Gpsbabel-code] GPSBabel for Pocket PC: Alpha version running now!

[Dmitriy G. <dmi...@gm...>]

Hello!

Congratulations :)

I've did that 1.5 year ago already. Version 1.2.8 was built using VS2005.
Almost functional: no usb (since I didn't find anything on how to work with
usb host in damned wince), console-only - I didn't finish gui frontend, and
one bad-bad-bug somewhere in expat: all unicode chars where replaced by
spaces (this applies only to xml formats), with full unicode support.
