    Does Windows PPC 2003SE have a shell command platform(Command Prompt).

    I have a J2ME application that runs a batch(.bat) file which extracts the MAC address of the hotspot that my PPC is utilising. I use the command "C:\arp -a >mac.txt".

    The batch file runs fine on a pc using ms-dos

    Is it possible to run this batch file on a ppc without having to download "PocketDos". I feel that using "PocketDos" will slow down my application.www.pocketdos.com

    Thanks in advance!

    Is your program using bluetooth? There should be a bluetooth call getBluetoothAddress() from LocalDevice and RemoteDevice classes.

    You can also get the max address of phones using the SDP, or for series 60 the following numbers will do it.

    *#2820# = Mac address.
    *#0000# = Firmware version.
    *#06# = IMEI address.

    There seem to be "APR.DLL" avaiable for WinCE 2.0

    Can you use DLL files with J2ME?
    Is there any difference between PPC 2003 and WinCE2003?

    I am not really sure this is really the proper way to go about it. The reason I say this is that J2ME doesn't allow you to shell (afair?).

    I don't know enough about the PDAs, but wouldn't they be using Personal Java and not J2ME?
