Mono is an implementation of the runtime, not a new language -- if you make a C# port that doesn't rely too much on native code by way of P/Invoke, you should be able to compile run the app on Mono too. You can use MoMA (http://www.mono-project.com/MoMA) to check if your code uses a part of .NET that isn't implemented in Mono. RemObjects Oxygene (http://www.remobjects.com/product/?id={DC0A9947-5FED-4D34-8CC8-F2DCFA87A1FE}) is an Object Pascal implementation that claims Mono support, you might be interested in that too. -- Lauri Kotilainen [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
