Ok, now how would you implement the full CodeDOMProviderClass (with parsing and error checking) for c/c++/fortran/ada? You would re-write the parsers in C# under x11, good luck. No, You would use the gcc to do the parsing for you? Well it is gpled. Users could not use a GCC CodeDOMProvider without their programs being GPLed. miike ===== James Michael DuPont __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
