I know, which is why I asked it in the context of non-official, hardly detectable Mono installations. If it were supported by the official Mono installer it would not matter to that aspect. :-) > It might be possible to port Mono to Win9x/ME (especially with the > help > of MSLU), but you're probably on your own for such a port. Serge posted a wrapper library some time ago on the list (it's also mentioned in the official FAQ) to compile Mono on Cygwin with MSLU - but I was unable to compile Mono 1.1.15 with it: http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-list/2006-April/031317.html Not getting any answer from the list I had also written to Serge personally but didn't get a reply either. So that was a dead end for me. The reason I tried is that there is a legacy DOS application running on a Windows 95 system that I would like to replace with a more modern .NET based app, and I need a way of migrating it while still running. My idea was to run a Mono based server app on the Win95 machine interop'ing with the legacy app as a three-tier solution... The only alternative I've come up with was exposing the legacy data files as a Windows share and reading them from remote; I'm still figuring out the file format from a local copy so haven't tested that yet - would I get change notifications from such a remote SMB share with FileSystemWatcher?
