Thank you Jim, you are a genius!
Went ahead and installed .net CF and Freda now works.
However (inevitably

) I have a few problems:
- HTML files ending in .html are not recognized, they appear when renamed to .htm (might be a Windows Mobile problem)
- leading or trailing spaces in non-empty paragraphs are rendered as squares
- (inlined) stylesheet is ignored
- <br> tag leads to blank lines between text
I have attached a test file for you.
The same file looks ok (if somewhat small) in Opera.
*edit* Freda reports Version 1.0 (build 325)
Best regards
