3.5 Application Program Development
The PCM-7130 is bundled with built-in Windows CE operating system.
In real applications users need to execute various application programs on
it. However, unlike its other family the Windows CE is a hardware-
dependent operating system. That is to say, Windows CE application pro-
grams are only portable in the source code level. Users must rebuild the
runtime file for a different Windows CE platform even though the source
code may not be changed at all.
