Re: CE machines & SwiftForth

     IPAQs use PXA250s or StrongARM for processors so the machine code
underpinnings of SwiftForth (fundamentally Pentium-the processor in your
desktop PC) will not run on it.

     If you have money enough or Forth Inc. can be shown some other reason
to do it, a port to the IPAQ shouldn't be too hard.
There does not seem to be an IPAQ-flavored Forth of any stripe. I looked
briefly around on the web and at
http://www.handhelds.org/z/wiki/HandheldsPeople there are a couple of folks
who are interested but don't have any deliverables.

     Another fellow very interested in PDAs (but perhaps not in IPAQs) is
Skip Carter. His website is :
