In light of the recent agreement with MS and Novell, this is interesting to note on this list. I don't know how many of you use Mono, but it is worth noting. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20061109-8190.html http://www.go-mono.com/archive/1.2/ "An important milestone leading up to Novell's goal of .NET 2.0 support, the inclusion of the WinForms API in Mono 1.2 significantly simplifies the process of porting .NET applications from Windows to Linux and other supported platforms. Developers can now use WinForms to produce cross-platform compatible user interfaces for .NET applications." Myself, I've only done the following (which you could paste into a text file - HelloWorld.cs and compile away) using System; namespace Dela.Mono.Examples { public class HelloWorld { public static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("Hello from Kai!"); } } } The cool thing about this, is that I can compile it in either Linux or Wintendo and it will run in both. I've copied the resulting .exe file to my pen drive and ran it directly on Win2K and WinXP systems. ...but then Java does the same thing, right? -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com a turn signal is a statement, not a request --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
