Having been in that world, I agree, if you're doing professional work you want to pay all the $$ for the full MS developers kit and have Ocaml working with that. This is actually where a Consortium is helpful. Maintaining the port is actually "engineering effort" (no pejorative intended) and if the companies making big $$ in that big market kick in the money you can hire an engineer full time to keep the port going, getting back ends for the .NET VM, low level bindings to Windows libraries, etc. Not my interest, but it's not helping competitors and allows INRIA to use their time to help us all. -- Brian ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr.
