I beleive it now does basic windows forms (which is all I'm using) so it should have no problems with it. When I'm ready to release it I will test with mono and see what extra needs to be done to support it.<BR/><BR/>Man.... I can't even begin to tell you all the problems with Java! I've used it a fair bit in the past, but lets just say that while technically its similar, thats about all. It sucks - bigtime.<BR/><BR/>No, I dont have SNASM on Linux... perhaps one day, but not yet.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958965170878448339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17487316.post-16116300898033810382008-08-01T20:18:00.000+00:002008-08-01T20:18:00.000+00:00BTW, is there a version of Snasm for Linux? thxBTW, is there a version of Snasm for Linux? thxIapetushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129241470684263177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17487316.post-3512953593918006212008-08-01T20:15:00.000+00:002008-08-01T20:15:00.000+00:00Not all .NET programs run in Mono.

I havent used Ruby, but it looked okay. They're both .NET langauges and you can code them about the same speed I guess.<BR/><BR/>I dont like QT or anything like that, and the winforms stuff in C# is dead easy - particually what I need it for.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958965170878448339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17487316.post-4520372912048003332008-07-31T16:57:00.000+00:002008-07-31T16:57:00.000+00:00mike, I like python or ruby for most new apps I wr...mike, I like python or ruby for most new apps I write. For the gui, I use wxWidgets or QT4. You get cross-platform and even faster coding that C# or Java since you get dynamic typing and no compile cycle.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280644250533859717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17487316.post-11767853417795405052008-07-30T21:07:00.000+00:002008-07-30T21:07:00.000+00:00No no, .NET is an open standard and theres a multi...No no, .NET is an open standard and theres a multiplatform version called MONO which will run on most platforms.<BR/><BR/>Whats more, it can run the built executable without the need to recompile, so running on a MAC (for example) should simply be a case of running mono with the supplied files.<BR/><BR/><B>http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page</B>Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958965170878448339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17487316.post-1194614995865081762008-07-30T20:58:00.000+00:002008-07-30T20:58:00.000+00:00But isn't C# Microsoft/Windows only.
