 @page wince ACE on Windows CE status
 
-By me, Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>
+Last updated Tuesday 04-March-2003 by Steve Huston <shuston@riverace.com>
 
 @subsection ce_status Status
 
-Been a while since I updated this file.  Where to begin.  Well, as of the next
-beta kit of ACE (5.1.11), it should be compiling for the PocketPC.  And it 
-will have new eMbedded Visual C++ project files (*.vcw and *.vcp).  Even 
-though it does not have all of ACE, the stuff it has should still make it
-useful.
-
-I have shifted off of Windows CE though, so the updates aren't going to come
-in as I once planned.  Although I did get the library to compile and link, I
-don't have any tests ready for it.  
-
-I'm planning on getting the ACE tests re-ported to Windows CE again.  I say
-re-ported because I'm planning on dealing with the lack of stdout a bit 
-differently than Nanbor did.  Instead of making a GUI front end for each 
-test (which I believe is what the WindozeCE stuff is), I'm going to let them
-remain GUI-less and perhaps write an application to read the log files after
-running the tests.  
+As of ACE 5.3, Riverace supports ACE on Windows CE 3 with the
+PocketPC 2002 SDK and on Windows CE 4 with the Standard SDK.
+OCI supports TAO 1.3 on at least Windows CE 3 with the PocketPC 2002 SDK.
+Contact the individual support provider for complete information regarding
+these platforms as well as the supported hardware targets.
 
 @subsection ce_evc eMbedded Visual C++ Projects
 
-ACE now uses the eMbedded Visual C++ project files (instead of the older
-Windows CE Toolkit for Visual C++ project files).  EVC is free from MS, either
-it can be found in the MSDN subscriptions (not free) or a CD from MS
--- which isn't completely free either, since you still have to pay for the 
-shipping and handling.  
-
-@subsection ce_subsets Subsets
-
-ACE on CE is currently split into two libraries, ace_os.dll and ace.dll.
-The ace_os library contains the files which are considered part of the ACE_OS
-subset.  The ace library contains everything else.  If ACE becomes more
-splittable, ace.dll will probably be broken apart even more.  
+Whereas previous ACE versions had separate ACE and ACE_OS eMbedded Visual C++
+project files, the project and workspace arrangement is now the same as
+for other Windows versions. The project and workspace files themselves are
+generated using the MakeProjectCreator tool when the ACE kit is prepared.
+Both EVC3 and EVC4 use the same project and workspace files.
 
-And unlike the current *nix subsets, these two libraries are truly separate
-and do not require recompilation when the subsets required are changed.  
-
-@subsection ce_tao TAO
-
-While it would be nice to get TAO working on CE, I doubt I'll get a chance to
-work on it before graduating.  OCI has said there has been some interest in 
-it, but I don't know how that is going right now.  
+Developers working with sources checked out from CVS must generate the
+project and workspace files locally using MPC. The autobuild system's
+generate_makefile and generate_workspace commands can be used for this.
 
 @subsection ce_wchar Unicode/WChar
 
 ACE on WindowsCE automatically has ACE_HAS_WCHAR and ACE_USES_WCHAR turned
 on.  Thus ACE_TCHAR and ACE_TEXT() are the wide char versions.  
 
+@subsection ce_tests Running the Test Suite on Windows CE
+
+The ACE test suite in ACE_wrappers/tests is used on Windows CE as well as
+on dekstop Windows. The test suite tools are being extended to use a
+product called Pocket Controller, Enterprise edition from Soft Object
+Technologies, Inc. (www.soti.net) that can script the actions needed to
+copy the test files to a PocketPC device, run the test, and copy the log
+files back to the build machine for analysis and reporting to the
+scoreboard.
