Hello,
Do any of you have a Zaurus? Can Rebol be ported?
Thanks,
James

Yes I do, but only a 5500 version.
In theory, yes. In practice, REBOL needs a surprising amount of memory to
run, so that may be a limiting factor for PDAs for a year or two.
Max made a similar reply in a thread about porting to Palm/OS

Me, I'd love REBOL on a PDA, so if RT are cooking up any plans, the sooner
the better for me,
Sunanda.

I think we don't need to wait year or two. Curent MDA from T-Mobile
sports e.g. 128MB RAM and 400MHz XScale CPU. That should be simply
enough. In fact - if we start to think about porting to mobile devices
in a year or two - it will be late. We have to think about it now, and
have rebol/view available next year ;-)
As for me, I regard mobile devices View ports much more important than
some unix variants starting from Solaris, ending with BSD. My platform
priority is as follws:
- Windows, Linux, MacOSx, mobile devices/consoles ...... then nothing
for a looong time, then maybe other platforms ....

Hi Petr/Sunada/James,
Well if we could have rebol view of a Linux Handheld like the Zaurus I would jump at
buying one.
Wonder how much Carl would charge to do a a port?
(Probably too much for a few of us to club together and pay for it I would guess)
Cheers Phil

A port is on the list. The Zaurus uses QT instead of X. Carl has signed up
with QT to be a developer so I think he really intends to do it
eventually...
Enjoy!!
