No, I don't need to use embedded firebird on WinCE directly
(I reserve this as a dream for the future!). Nowadays I only
need the "client" ability on WinCE, inside a "high-level"
development environment.

Good news! We need to develop a thin winCE client to connect to our
firebird db, so we are searching the most routable way to do such a
thing. We are at the first step and, since we are Delphi-oriented
programmers, we need to look at Java or C# way to build the first
"Hello firebird from WinCE" application.

It also seems to me that I have forgotten something but, having
heard your news, I don't need to re-build jaybird.. But if you
are looking for a "dummy-builder", I can retry at your convenience.

I'll open soon another thread to request "What virtual machine
on WinCE/Pocket PC ?".

Thank you, Roman!
