Unfortunately, the only support we have is a set of (v. expensive) libraries for Visual C 6 or something. Anyway, somebody has written an 8086 emulator, XTM, which works very well (for instance, it allows you to run Linux in the form of Elks, or some versions of DOS, and Windows 1 or 2!). So, if programs could be compiled for the 8086, they could be compiled for the Psion -- so we have a freeware C/C++/whatever else compiler for the Psion. However, this scheme relies on the ability to cross-compile to the 8086. Is this possible? If so, which files (libraries, etc.) do I need. Thanks very much for your time and help.
