I would highly appreciate a simple way to do so, too.

Pelles C looks clean and versatile. Thanks for mentioning it!

Pocket PC has no text console by nature. Luckily, PocketConsole 1.3 adds
this and is freely available <http://www.symbolictools.de/>.
I don't know whether Pelles C supports console applications on the
Pocket PC. Currently I'm just trying to change the project mentioned in
the help:
"Getting Started - Your first Pocket PC project"
to a simple "Hello world" _console_ application. Especially since I
don't know much about C, I'm curious whether I will succeed.

Very good idea!

If it works reliably, I would pay for it. I'd highly appreciate anything
that brings Pocket PC and Euphoria closer together. And I'm convinced
that Pocket PCs and similar small mobile devices will play an increasing
role in the future.
