Possibly, on certain models, with certain versions of WinCE, and
then only if specifically compiled for compatibility with WinCE.

Certain WinCE devices running versions 1 and 2 use Intel x-86
class processors.  Those should be able to run Euphoria, if it is
specifically targeted for WinCE.  All other version 1 and 2 devices
use Arm, NEC, or other processors, and would not necessarily work
with Euphoria without more than a simple recompile.

All version 3 and higher WinCE devices run on Arm/X-Scale derivatives.

Andy Cranston recently reported to have a partial port of Euphoria
to an HP-UX unix based system, which uses a non x-86 based
processor.  In theory, a WinCE port should be easier since it is a
derivative of the Win-32 system, but one has to keep in mind the
extremely limited memory of WinCE devices.  None ship with
more than 64mb of ram, and the memory expansion is soley for
file based storage - the memory cards have a finite read/write life
cycle and eventually fail (around 20,000 write cycles or so, IIRC).
