PsionSqueakXPDA
This is the PsionSqueak (SquEPOC?) page, about the port. PsionSqueakXPDA is a silly story about how we got it running.

Pablo has gone public (almost) sourceforge.net/projects/squeakepoc


RichardEmerson & OliBye were talking about their now discontinued Psion PDA's and lamenting the demise of PDA's with pointers and keyboards. Em has been wanting to "BuildABetterToDoList?" for a while and had the idea of using squeak to build it.

ErnestoGuisado is interested. Somebody already seems to have something basic working. See swiki's Squeak for EPOC32? [minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/1895].

Yep, we've tried Pablo's code and are using it for examples, but I feel we need to write it from the bottom up with tests, so that I can understand things (Not knowing much about EPOC or Smalltalk). -- OliBye

Story So Far

Continued on PsionSqueakXPDA

OliBye had trouble with the Revo SDK went back to using the original SDK in 1/2 VGA mode.

Em couldn't get Pablo's code running so he decided to start again. www.rodablo.com/squeak/

Once he'd got a slightly-changed version of the basic generated code to compile and link (and even run), Em felt he'd figured out enough to start re-introducing Pablo's code.

At the moment, the port initialises all its EPOC resources (windows etc), loads an image, and starts interpreting bytecodes. It runs out of memory (or so it claims) before it can actually draw anything to the screen. But it does at least print a proper Smalltalk walkback (to stdout).
