Hello,

I'm brand new to J and and am very happy to have found a powerful
programming language for my Pocket PC/cell phone.  To automate some phone
tasks, I'd like to create a simple short J program that launches another
program, say, Pocket Internet Explorer (\Windows\iexplore.exe).  I tried
using tasks.ijs and got an error that I eventually figured out has to do
with kernel32.dll not being on my PocketPC.

>From what I can tell, the Pocket PC version of J is not configured to use
the WinCE API.  Instead, scripts like winapi.ijs and task,ijs are set up to
use the regular Windows API.  I have looked at the J documentation for
calling DLLs, as well as the MSDN pages for CreateProcess (Windows and
WinCE), but I am a bit over my head.  Having been a Unix person for most of
my days, I'm not sure how to translate the MSDN WinCE CreateProcess API
description at    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa908775.aspx
into J.

Would anyone out there be willing to share some J that will start a new
process under WinCE?  I searched the list archives and didn't see what I was
looking for (or didn't recognize it if I did :)) .  Even a winapi.dat file
for WinCE would be helpful.

Thank you in advance for anything,

Jeff Nye
