C# as Java without the virtual machine overhead? To get a compiled executable app to run on Linux and Windows is always going to need a re-compile, but that (IMHO) is better than trying to emulate that re-compilation each time the program runs by using another level of translation at run-time like the VM. > > The most ironic thing is that microsfot have inadvertently > solved a number of > > long lived problems, one being open source GUI problems.

I'd like to change the Windows widget set to one of the many available for Qt.

Once again though, it's not a compiled executable - an interpreter is still needed. Native binary is my preference. - -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk http://www.dclug.org.uk http://www.wewantbroadband.co.uk/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+PvW/iAEJSii8s+MRAjNzAKCnYIpz83D5jx8eMwp7RU0e6j4SCwCfXfN1 xzv6LI54v5JKPW8rzGTksec= =Nhbd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
