I'm more than willing to help beta test any new versions of Dialect on WinCE. I have a WinCE.NET 4.1-based Sigmarion III, a japan-only Handheld PC-style device- not a PPC. Feel free to email me at:

(run that line in dialect for my email :D )
Call me nuts, but I like Dialect a good deal more than Python. Dialect is like Smalltalk or Lisp to me in some ways; it takes a unified...

In my case, running WinCE.NET 4.1 on Sigmarion III, this fixed my problem. I wish I would've seen this thread, but I had figured it out with a combo of intuition and trial and error.
Installing MFC and OLE got a whole bunch apps working, like Rainer's unix ports.... It's nice to have so many awesome apps anytime and anywhere in my pocket. Sounds nuts, but there are more - and higher...

Hello!
After a brief hiatus in the world of Linux PDAs (Zaurus C760, still doesn't cut it for me), I am back using a WinCE handheld.
I bought a Sigmarion III, running WinCE.NET 4.1. It is an *awesome* device, probably my favorite computer out of any I've owned. It makes a great Jornada 720 Handheld PC successor.
One of the very first apps I tried to get working on my Sig3 was Dialect...

First thing to note is that for most folks, "Handheld PC" and "Pocket PC" refer to different things. A handheld pc (or Palmtop) is a term that is usually used to refer to a pocket computer with a built-in keyboard; more or less a mini-laptop in form factor, but usually small enough to fit in one's pocket. They often have bigger screens. An example is the Jornada 720...

Hello all-
Anyone know how to go about getting Dialect to talk to the WinCE databases? Or, to get at the Pocket Outlook Object Model (POOM)? I guess access to the WinCE databases would be preferrable, because with that, one can achieve the same thing (and more) as with the POOM.
I assume that the way to do this would be through the FFI/dll call-out mechanism. I have a lot of programming...

Wow! That's awesome and super easy! :) Loving Dialect more and more everyday... Too bad more people don't use it- perhaps a PocketPC version would be a great way to increase visibility with the least amount of work. It really is a great tool... I plan on using it for writing a simple Jet-based DB app at work for managing the lst of the hardware we have around.

Looking at how Dialect's class and objects work (a lot like python's), the Frame and the Class/Object could definately be merged.
I'm not saying that Dialect was meant as a NewtonScript clone- NewtonScript differs a lot on a number of points, but I was just curious if they saw it as a smart place to start, perhaps making it a bit more like BASIC for those who might be coming from a VB world.

I have a big list on the Wiki for Dynapad, which is the PDA computing environment I'm working on. Check the list out here:
http://dynapad.swiki.net/11
It doesn't include Dialect though, at the time I was mostly looking at stuff that ran on the iPAQ. I'll add Dialect (near the top no less) when I get home. :)
This list is completely dedicated to languages or development environments...

It's too bad that Dialect doesn't have COM access- it looks like it's pretty easy to do with COM. Alas- I've looked at some sources to try and see how one goes about this, but I"ve not been able to get even one of the functions to even load into Dialect with the FFI...

Did you ever figure out how to get to all the internal databases using Dialect on the WinCE device? I think I'll want to do this eventually myself, so just wondering if you ever got anywhere...
