Ummmm...I think you might want to take a closer look at what he's doing and what's going on. The code is all written from scratch and my understanding is that while making the two systems work together might be a goal, I don't think the Linux side relies on any code from MS. Last I knew (and I'm no .NET expert here) was they were working on implementing the C# language and virtual machine. --rdp -- Rich Payne http://talisman.mv.com ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
