And PE is used on 32 and 64 bit Windows.  So what you're saying is, we're 
running a 32 or 64 bit Windows binary executable.  Is that what is being said 
now?

My point remains (from the other trail of this thread) that a windows binary 
(which a PE would be, btw) has no place on Linux, for more reasons than 
because I hate MS (which I do, quite admittedly).

.class is interpreted by the java vm, and ycp is handled by yast - so they 
aren't exactly the same type of situation.  Unless you're saying its 
interpreted.

So is Zen a compiled binary, or is it still interpreted by Mono? If its a 
compiled binary, then I still don't get wtf Mono is needed for.  If its being 
interpreted, wtf is interpreted code doing in a core application?

Please excuse my laziness in not looking more closely at the files myself, I 
have a very hectic week, and my weekend (while spent out of the office) was 
all but useless as far as rest and hobbies go.
