It looks like they have a good start. Unfortunately, there's one huge problem: there is no source code at all. (Doesn't that violate the OCaml license?) They are working in a pure Windows environment and have yet to port some libraries such as Str and Unix. These are both things I can help with, but without the source code, it's completely useless to me. > What will be interesting will be to see how well it allows one to > call .NET libraries, and how well it works on Mono. Indeed. (And how well it allows other .NET programs to call OCaml code.) -- John ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
