Nobody said that the VB6 compiler needed to talk to the underlying .NET, all we need is a compiler that exposes that language and targetting .NET is an easy way of doing so. The x86 "virtual machine" only supports the 32-bit int and the floating point data types, and mapping "VB6" into it has not been a problem in the past. There should be little or no problem mapping VB6 into the CIL virtual machine. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
