"I have to put my code in a file with
the extension "ns", right? And I
have to register the extension "ns"
with the registry before..."

You can register the .ns extension in the Registry (by using Resco Explorer or MyExtension) - but you don't have to. You can just create a direct link to ns.exe, passing the .ns file as parameter to be executed.

Java is too heavy-weight for this task, RAM/CPU usage-wise. Besides, it doesn't seem to work.

The best wayt to do this is either native eVC or .NET.

If you, however, want to give nScriptm a try (so that you can avoid using the much more complicated eVC or purchasing isual Studio). It supports both server socket listening and conditional execution - as with any decent programming language/function library. See http://s-k-tools.com/freeware/nsen.txt for more information.

"Does anybody know if there's a small .NET- or Win32-App for PPC which like runs a socket which takes the path of an application and executes the application it?"

What did you mean by "runs a socket"? Simply executing an external application? Or, does it listen to incoming TCP/IP requests by keeping a server socket open?

If plain execution is what you meant, you may also want to give a try to nScriptm, a free, great scripting solution for the Pocket PC. I've published some examples of using it to execute external applications here and here.

Give a try to Thunderhawk. Unfortunately, the "traditional" (Jeode/CrEme) PIE plug-ins are both 1.3 only.
