This has been discussed here before. The Palm Pilot
_does_ do irda and it is not "trivial" to do IR control with it.
It is possible to simulate remote control IR with irda and that's
what the OmniRemote software does.
What I want is a library for my Palm Pilot that lets me tap
directly into the code the the OmniRemote software uses.

And justification for why is that I already have a RCX and
I already have a Palm Pilot. I do not have an embedded wince bot. :)
So I want the parts I already have to talk to each other. Of course,
anything that can be done with the Palm's IR port is probably also
applicable to your handheld wince devices.
