Hy Eric,
thanx for the info,
I'm not a professional but I have not realy a deadline. for the moment our
software runs on Psion series 3 but one day we'll heve to make the move, and
I want to be ready for it, ... learning something new is not the problem.
Since the device is an embedded one, it's difficult to choose a program
language.
NsBasic applications could not be started on the device, some files on the
device were missing ...
That's the reason why I'm asking someone to drop some components on a form
to see what will be running, this could even be a 'Hello world'.

thanx any way,
I'll take a look at the links
Bye,

If you are a professional software developer, then this is your best bet. You need to change with the times if you do this for a living. It's not the easiest approach, but it is the most "future proof" approach.
