There is the link to the Managed Code dialogue in Text, though, not particularely friendly to a lay person. I pulled it off the MSDN web site, so it will be in developer speak.

The "Show" you sent the URL for appears to be some video requiring several MS products + MS formats + DRM, so I can't tell whether you are joking or not with your original suggestion. Text is helpful, video and audio is not, especially one in an unreasonable format like WMV/WMA Gradually, I've started to give up most other closed source applications and nearly all closed protocols. I gave up MS products years ago, first for technical reasons, then stayed away because of the other benefits. I'm skeptical about Dot Net because there are no mainstream resources (that I know of) detailing what it is and all of what I've read so far involves buzzwords and vague promises. The buzzwords and vague promises seem to indicate that it is a smaller, less efficient, proprietary, MS owned immitation of Java. However, I would like to be able to inform myself better at to what it is so that skepticism can be turned into an informed decision. -Lars Lars Nooden ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Software patents kill innovation and harm all Net-based business.
