In 2000, Microsoft sold a toolkit that would work with VB 6 to produce
mobile apps. If you have MSDN CDs from that era, you could try it. I
have no idea how you could get it any other way (legally or not). I
_think_ it would produce something approximating eVB, or something
else not compatible with Pocket PC 2003.

eVB was essentially VB Script. I don't use it, but know it is no
longer officially supported. I _think_ the run times won't run under
Pocket PC 2003.

I've never tried NS Basic, but you might consider it:
