Re: Lua on cell phones

[Don Hopkins <dhopkins@...>]

I ported Lua on my iPAQ Windows CE PocketPC, integrated it with 
Cepstral's speech synthesizer (SwiftTalker SDK) with SWIG, and used it 
to make a touch screen pie menu based user interface scripting system 
(just for fun and learning, not a released commercial product).
It was pretty straightforward, but the main challenge of porting Lua to 
the PocketPC was making all the win32 calls use Unicode, which involved 
inserting calls to string conversion functions at appropriate locations 
in some of the windows operating system glue code.
