| After getting a bSqaure Power Handheld i was a bit disappointed at the lack of the microsoft file viewers (doc, image, pdf, etc ) so I decided to do something about it. After a bit of hacking I got the PDF and image viewers to run (on the Power Handheld's wince 4.1 ). I then decided to see if my J720 could run them. After a bit more hacking they both ran perfectly.
I'm not sure whether it would be legal for me to post the files though... The mods are going to have to decide that.

And I thought Hungarian notation was something only my C++ programming teacher forced us to do! |

Oh praised by your hsTeacher! ...  (go figure out what "hs" mean!  )
On Hungarian notation, or any of its variants, its actually a very good coding practise. Certainly makes code reading much much easier.

Note: In some practices, like for MS, its nMyVariable and not iMyVariable that is the common form. And even then, some groups may choose either ... |

The question is, where did you get those viewers in the first place? I don't think they were free downloads, were they?
They just came in ROM on my CE 4.2. |

| it isn't hard to get them... just download a ce.net (4.1 is fine too! ) ROM image and get at it with the xda rom dump tool... if you're lucky it will extract everything. for example it will do it with simpad roms, skeyepad roms, but not with the netbook pro or NEC 900C  |

| I used an old copy of Platform Builder 4.2 to build a ROM image that is compatible with the Power Handheld, modded the PE headers of the various EXE/DLLs involved to look like CE 4.1 apps and copied everthing to /Windows (directory doesn't matter though ). Same goes for the J720 versions but I changed the headers to look like CE 3 apps.
Generally speaking it's not always a good idea to to use dumprom to extract DLLs from rom images because of the way that Platform Builder creates the XIP sections. The DLLs may not be executable after extraction. In short it may work or it may not.
Download CE 3 Viewers
Download CE 4.1 Viewers
If anyone has any problems with those links being there I'll remove them... |

| Hi, thanks for the viewers!
and you can't extract the "Activities" utility?

thanks for the link. i'm going to try it soon on a jornada 728..
even though i'm a moderator (and here in hpc2000 ), i don't delete your links for the moment, i think the admins should decide it. but generally they allow us to post such links. (or at least links to hacked dlls )
about the rom extract.. thanks for the information. can you help me a little with it btw? i need some dlls for ce.net 4.2. i've sent you a PM again |
