OK, forgive me lame questions here, i'm ... not used to the number of
permutations and versions of 'stuff' to be had here.

That URL points me to the "Platform Builder."  Reading the FAQs, it
seems that PB is the new name for the Windows CE Embedded Toolkit for
Visual C++...

According to the web pages, PB comes with an "optimized version" of
VC++6.  From what i've read on the web pages, it sounds like I want to
install PB 2.11.  (I've already got VC++6 and the CE Toolkit for VC++6
installed.)  Or, maybe, depending on just how spiteful the
installation is, deinstall everything then reinstall PB and the CE
Toolkit for VC++6.  Do you think that makes any sense?


Depending on how that goes, I think i might try doing things without
diskio.h first, since I'm willing to load the kernel from a DOS
partition anyway.

hmm.  From my previous experiments with vc5, i seem to recall that
maybe the text editor did the right thing w/o ^Ms, but the
project/workspace files needed them or they were considered broken.
Since i'm currently using samba, i'll fiddle around with things on my
end, see if there's any reasonable way to make things work.
