I'm afraid your chances with this effort won't be particularly good...

Trying to port pwsafe v3 to PocketPC (again), I discovered that there
are a lot of MS-specifics in the sources. This starts with certain
macros, "proprietary" data types and functions and culminates in using
Microsoft's MFC. This is more or less ok for PocketPC, but I doubt that
it can be ported to Symbian with reasonable effort.

Probably you're better off when you look for other implementation of the
pwsafe file format - there are some in Java and one or two scripting
languages.

Well, I hope you haven't lost you motivation entirely now. Maybe it's
better than running against a wall later on...

Hmm, I never had a Symbian device - no opinion from me.

Cheers,
