What development tools do I need?

I'm not even sure if this is the proper site to ask, but I'll give it a shot.

I have VS 2003 Professional. It looks like I may have to write a SLIP driver for the PocketPC. I would assume I'd have to use embedded VC++. Although it's easy to write mobile stuff in VB or C#, it seems embedded VC++ is a different animal.

I downloaded EVC from microsoft, but it's asking for a license code.

Do I really have to purchase embedded VC++?

Thanks,
Mike

I believe the license number is documented somewhere on their website, possibly the download page. I can't remember, exactly.

umm yeah it is - right at the bottom. Thanks.
