Is there any interest in a verbatim OCaml port to .NET? The .NET platform seems to be the future on Windows and writing a .NET port rather than a native port of OCaml seems like a better way to get OCaml running under Windows. Although a couple of people have told me that their OCaml installations run perfectly under Windows I'm an MS newbie and have no end of trouble getting it to work (compared to F#, for example). In fact, now that I have a Windows box I should probably add Windows executables for all of our demos... -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd.
