There are no problems porting it to .net. The only thing I could say is about the Type class as long as "Type" is a very common name in .net that represents every type (as java does using Class). But namespaces should handle it. I was wondering about "type checking". Seems that every check occurs in the type loading/initialization. Maybe this type checking could be done in a transparent way using ContextBoundObject/Interception in .Net. Then just a simple "new" could fire every checking and no explicit type checking would be necessary. Anyway is too soon to say. If I'm in the right path signalize that and I would create some samples, tests, labs.. hammett MCAD Meet Polyethylene at http://polyethy.sourceforge.net/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
