Okay, I wanted to give an update. I haven't had a chance to play with the files on an actual device but here's what I found out:
1-in the SCL, version 7.0 only has the runtimes themselves
(meaning running programs developed on NS Basic, not the actual runtime environment
1a-also, the SCL for version 7.0 didn't have the files properly labeled for which OS they're for. The host installer files with "WINCE" are only for Windows CE 4.2 or higher. I fixed this.
1b-I can't find an IDE installer file for version 7.0
So I propose we focus on getting 6.0 running first.
In addition, I found some information that's very useful from the readme:
Quote
HPC2000, HPC Pro and HPC
These are usually clamshell-style devices with keyboards, running Windows CE 2.10 to 3.0. They were by a variety of manufacturers from 1998-2003.
Establish an ActiveSync connection from your PC to your Windows CE device.
If you have an older version of NS Basic/CE installed, remove all NS Basic modules using the Remove Software feature in Settings.
In the Desktop IDE, choose Installers... on the Run Menu and select Basic.ppc.exe. (If you have the Demo, select Runtime.ppc.exe)
Install Script* (Not required for HPC 2000)
Install System* (Not required for HPC 2000)
If you have an HP 680, use this special version of Script*.
I'll try to give an update for version 6.0 tomorrow. I just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten
