Thank you, i have successfully compiled the first programm.

I have compiled your example wich write the file doutput.txt .
This programm have i copied to the sd Card and rename the programm to
Hello_arm.exe .

But it do nothing on my PDA.
My PDA is a YAKUMO with Windows mobile 4.2 .
The CPU is S3C2410 it should be compatible with ARM920T .

I have read i must copy the programm with Active Sync or i must 
build a "cab" file?
