+@page wince ACE on Windows CE status
+
+Last updated Tuesday 15-November-2005 by Steve Huston <shuston@riverace.com>
+
+@subsection ce_status Status
+
+As of ACE 5.5, Riverace supports ACE on Windows CE building with Microsoft
+Visual Studio 2005 and targeting the Pocket PC 2003 SDK and Windows Mobile 5.
+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
+
+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.
+
+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_vc8 Visual Studio 2005 Projects
+
+The ACE release process generates the needed Visual Studio 2005 solution and
+project files with "_WinCE" appended to the name (e.g. ACE_WinCE.vcproj) to
+distinguish them from both Win32-targeted VC8 projects (ACE_vc8.vcproj) and
+Visual Studio 2003 projects (ACE.vcproj). The files are generated with
+the "Pocket PC 2003 SDK (ARMV4)" and "Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK
+(ARMV4I)" platforms defined. To add additional platforms, the files must be
+regenerated using MPC.
+
+@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.
