Yes, I have recently...

In the next beta distribution UnZip 5.51c (to be released during next two
weeks?), you will find an updated pUnZip port.
The port has been "revitalized" with the current core code, using Microsoft
Visual C embedded V 3.0. However, I do not own a Pocket PC device. So the
port has only been tested against the i386 emulation environment that can be
run under Windows NT 4. The pUnZip port does not support palm-size devices
(besides other issues, the screens of palm-size organizers are simply too
small for the pUnZip GUI user interface). But the "hand-held" systems are
"larger" hardware containing a "mini-PC" like screen. On the hand-held
emulator (for WinCE 2.11), I was successful to run the revised pUnZip
program.
As far as I have understood the Microsoft terminology, "Pocket PC" is the
successor of the older "Palm-size" devices.

So, to get pUnZip ready for Pocket PCs (like Compaq IPAQ or alike), you may
need some more development in adapting the GUI design to the limited screen
dimensions.

But basically, with UnZip 5.51, you will get a Windows CE port that should
be "almost" ready for providing UnZip support on newer Pocket PC systems.
