Title: Old version of Pelles C for Windows CE/Windows Mobile
Post by: George/Gyorgy on October 14, 2025, 02:22:26 PM
Hello Forum Members,

I am new here, and it is my first post, so greetings to everyone.

I am looking for an older version of Pelles C, which can be used for Windows CE/Windows Mobile. It sound weird, I know, but I would like to try it (for using on some old Symbol/Motorola/Zebra PDA-s, from 2006-2010). I found some reference, which mentions version 7.00 (or 8.00). Is this available somewhere for download? My searches doesn't find any results.

Thanks you,
Gyorgy

Hi Gyorgy,

Some older versions are available.
check this link:
https://forum.pellesc.de/index.php?topic=11134.msg39062#msg39062

I tried and it will at least get version 8

I could not get version 7 but that might be because I don't know the correct release.

Also might try wayback.

Hi Gyorgy,

Here is Wayback link for version 7 (use the whole line even though not underlined)

https://web.archive.org/web/20140408231258/http://www.smorgasbordet.com/pellesc/

click download on the left and scroll down you will see version 7, for further back you'll probably need to follow Timo's advice and ask Pelle if it can be available.....

Hello John, Hello Timo,

Thank you for your replies. I was able to download from archive.org the version 6.50  and 7.00 (in both installs it was a warning at the beginning which states that the WinCE is deprecated, but still works). Older version seems also to exist, but the install exe files were not retrieved by archive.org, and are not available. And I found here on the forum the version 8.00, which has the WinCE option removed. I am very happy with the version 7.00, which compiles my demos.

Once again, thank you very much,
Gyorgy

If you ever need it, I can probably dig up most old versions of Pelles C (anyone that can invent a timeless backup system will probably get very rich...)

Thank Pelle, the version 7.00 which I downloaded is all what I need.
Best regards,
