I just did a for i in *.cs; do mcs $i; done to compile the samples with mcs, recompiling some by hand (those that required a /r:System.Data or a specific dll). I found one bug in mcs (related to shift operators on the char type) and a couple of missing features in our libraries (index by name in the regular expression groups, isolated storage, ...). Didn't bother to try the Windows.Forms samples as well;-) I couldn't find the examples related to rectangular array initializers: could you please tell me what sample it was? It's possible the bug is already fixed in the cvs version of mcs or we'd need to file a bug in bugzilla.ximian.com (I already reported the shift issue there). Thanks! BTW: if me or somebody else provides a set of makefiles (or changes to the existing makefiles) to easily compile the examples with mcs, would you include it in the zip file? lupus -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] debian/rules [EMAIL PROTECTED] Monkeys do it better _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
