 [Hints on writing portable code using ACE]
 
+  [Testing Non-Window based ACE programs]
+     Rumor has it that Microsoft will provide a DOS shell in their
+     next release of CE.  Oh well, I made it up and there'll probably
+     no DOS prompt in the future CE.  All current ACE programs are
+     text-based.  They all need a shell to start from.  
+
+     [Dialog Based]
+        This is a collection of files that combined with any ACE
+     program to run on CE.  To use this template, compile your main
+     project with all the cpp and rc files under $ACE_ROOT/windoezCE/.
+     
+     The program will start by asking you the command line argument
+     that you want to pass to the original ACE program.  We should be
+     able to get this infomation automatically if we execute the
+     program from "Start -> Run...".  However, that'll require us to
+     implement this window using Win32 API (it's written with MFC
+     classes now.)  Notice that GetCommandLine is not available on
+     CE.
+
+        [Future Improvement]
+           
+            Get the command line argument automatically.

   [Unicode Trivia]
         Since most APIs take wide char strings as their arguments when
         strings are needed, some pre-cautions must be taken...
