I am not ;-) There's also DotGNU (http://www.gnu.org/projects/dotgnu/ ), which is an effort to duplicate .NET, without duplicating some of its more un-free and monopolistic tendancies.

Like Gerhard, I'm not particularly interested in these efforts myself. -- T.E.D. Home - mailto:dennison@telepath.com (Yahoo: Ted_Dennison) Homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html
