> Wow, is it really that simple for creating an exe? Yes.
Basicaly what the "nekotools boot" is doing is concat the .n bytecode to the "neko" executable (containing the VM boot) and modify some special bytes in it so it will boot by reading itself instead of waiting for commandline parameter. Although it's not supported right now, it would be possible this way to create Win32 and OSX executables on Linux, and vice-versa. > This kinda stirs up > some thoughts.

That's another story :) But yes behing able to tie together haXe/Flash and haXe/Neko for desktops applications seems like a good idea. Nicolas -- Neko : One VM to run them all (http://nekovm.org)
