That is true. However, Stallman has voiced, er.., "displeasure" with that press release. I don't bring this up because I think we all realise Stallman's a god to be bowed to, but because that is why I belive the GNU project will be behind ".GNU" rather than expending effort to support ".NET" in any way. Of course individuals or companies can take Free Software like gcc and do that (as long as Microsoft lets them). But I wouldn't be suprised to see the GNU project actively discouraging such efforts. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
