That's why you can replace "C#" in your description with "Java", and it's still correct. BTW, any programming language that requires a specific editor to write programs in should be rm'ed. The authors should be shot, but such leniency is only allowed for the first offense. > I used emacs and edit to write a simple > program, but i can not compile the program.

MS has indicated they would do that, but I have no idea if they have. You'd have to check with MS about that. The pnet port includes a C# compiler and runtime. I have no idea if the VM it uses is CLR or not. > Another problem i'm having is compiling C# Source Code.

Nope, I haven't tried C#. If you really want to learn a new language, Java probably has better job prospects, at least for a while. Eiffel is the only language I've run into that manages to get OO right, and studying it is a learning experience in and of itself. I just wish I could find an Eiffel compiler with CORBA bindings for FreeBSD. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
