PLBCE Non-Supported Features

The following features of PLBWIN are not supported by the PLBCE runtime:

Note the following:

Since Windows CE does not provide operating system locking, the FILEPI or Record Locking instructions are not available.
Windows CE has no current working directory concept. The root is treated as the current working directory.
PATH CURRENT and CHANGE perform no action.
No ODBC support is available. DBCONNECT will always fail.
The main window does not provide a default menu.
Since Windows CE supports a limited help facility, no F1 help support is available.
CLOCK does not support ENV, DAY, SECONDS, SYSTEM, or CPUTIME.
FILLSTYLE property supports only $NOHATCH and $CLEARHATCH.
BDRPATTERN property supports only $SOLID.
There is no support for PL/B Debugger.
The Print Preview feature is not supported.
RMSRAS is not supported.
The installation procedure associates the .PLC and .PLW extensions with PLBCE.EXE.
Since Windows CE has no command line interface, a special Command Line, procedure has been implemented.
Windows CE does not support menu bars on windows. Instead, PLBCE will create a toolbar at the top of the client area with a close button on the right, and the menus on the left. This will consume the top twenty-six (26) pixels of the window client area.
Since a close button is provided, programs with menus can save space by not putting a caption on the window.
Windows CE does not support environment variables; hence, the lack of support for the CLOCK ENV instruction. The runtime does support the .INI file processing and all information may be placed in the .INI file.
