SUMMARY
=======

The implementation of the Windows CE 2.0 operating system on the Palm-size PC
1.0 devices does not include sufficient COM support for Windows CE Toolkit for
Visual Basic 6.0 (VBCE) applications. However, the Palm-size PC devices running
the Windows CE operating system 2.11 do provide support for VBCE applications.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0 (VBCE6) can create applications for
the following classes of devices:

- Handheld PC (H/PC - running Windows CE 2.0)

- Handheld PC Pro (H/PC Pro - running Windows CE 2.1x)

- Palm-size PC (PPC - running Windows CE 2.1x)

Please note that the implementation of the Windows CE operating system 2.0 on the
Palm-size PC device does not support VBCE6 applications. The Palm-size PC
Platform SDK version 1.2 has been made available to assist you with writing
applications targeting Palm-size PC's (running Windows CE 2.11 or later). To
download this SDK, please refer to the following Web site:
