Actually, I did. I honestly did read up on it before posting. The bit that
made me say that was from the page called "Mono Developer Support from
Novell" that said:
"At this time, supported components include: [snip] the Mono
compatibility assemblies (excluding System.Windows.Forms,
System.EnterpriseServices and Microsoft.Win32)"

Fair enough. I'm not too happy about being called a spammer (that hurts),
and really I just thought this was a discussion, appropriate to advanced
.NET developers, that I could learn from, but it wasn't my intention to
antagonise anyone so I'll shut up. Sorry.
