      From: mutazilah@gmail.com              You may not be aware, but there is actually a version of Windows for ARM.              PDOS-generic has morphed into an Android app that is available from       the Google Play Store.              The 32-bit API is in fact mostly compatible with Windows for ARM.       Windows 11 for ARM supports both 64-bit and 32-bit.              The only difference is basically a bug - if a 64-bit parameter is passed,       the compiler is supposed to ensure it is aligned, even if that means that       a register is skipped. I am using gcc 3.2.3 and don't know how to       fix that myself.              But since 64-bit is rare, except when a double is used, most of my       C90 programs work fine - and they use msvcrt.dll the same as the x86.              Search for Google Play Store (3rd/last hit) at https://pdos.org for the       link.              Note that this means you can program using (rather than FOR) your       smartphone - with very low energy requirements and cost of the phone       too - an external keyboard is only about US$3. Your phone needs OTG,       but most have that.              The energy requirements are so low that I have obtained two portable       solar panels capable of keeping my phone alive. One cost $70 and       the other $160. I am looking at only doing programming that I can       do from solar, so that I can relocate to a jungle or something and       continue on.              BFN.
