Were spearheaded, not are spearheaded. Novel is long gone from the picture. Presently Mono is a Ximian project (http://www.mono-project.com), which is where it started as far as I can recall. To the best of my knowledge Moonlight recently was resuscitated after having near death experience but, at the moment, is SUSE only as far as Linux support goes. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
