I was wrong in not separating the C# language compiler from the .NET environment. Mono consists of both. At one time MS planned a bunch of languages for the .NET environment that could inter-operate at the byte code level. I haven't heard what happened with that (probably because I just don't care about windoze and .NET). Have fun, Roy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
