Oh, it seemed to imply that that was how mono works (and it works that way under the hood, like any other object system does): if that is the case, I apologise for over-reacting. Anyway, a runtime like the CLR doesn't get you only that: it gives you garbage collection, automatic async invocation of methods and it lets you plug-in components seamlessly. That is what enhances productivity a lot. lupus -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] debian/rules [EMAIL PROTECTED] Monkeys do it better
