-################ Requirements
-
-You must have complete and working "mono" and "mcs" checkouts from
-CVS. You will probably need to bootstrap your Mono installation,
-although an existing install from RPMs may permit you to build the CVS
-versions more easily.
-
-############## Samples 
-
-
-  If you want to add a new item in the left menu 
-  you have to edit mono/doc/web/commands and add
-  the entry there.
-
-    For new files you can add something as:
-    level,entry,path_to_the_file,file.src
-
-    ex: 1,COBOL#,cobol.html,cobol.src
-
-    If you just want to add a link to the menu:
-    1,MyEntry,URL
-    
-    ex: 1,About Linux,http://www.linux.org
-
-  To test the results under Linux:
-    1. Edit mono/doc/web/makefile
-
-    Delete all the references to class status
-    and the deploy/index.rss as well as the
-    mono.exe commands.
-
-    2. make
-    3. Open your browser and point to the 
-       file:///(YOUR PATH HERE)mono/doc/web/deploy/index.html

-* ADO.NET
-
-** Data Access in Mono
-
-<ul>
-	<li>Today, our goal is to be compatible with .NET 1.0 and .NET 1.1.  We also would like
-   to extend data access beyond what is included with .NET 1.0 and .NET 1.1,
-   such as, including access to more databases, such as, PostgreSQL and MySQL,
-   but also provide classes that help in creating data source-agnostic code, such as, Mono.Data.ProviderFactory.</li>
-   <li>In the future, we would like to be compatible with .NET 1.2. This
-   would include features like:
-	<ul> 
-		<li><a href="http://longhorn.msdn.microsoft.com/lhsdk/ndp/daconworkingwithobjectspacesarchitecture.aspx">ObjectSpaces</a></li>
-		<li>provide support for hosting Mono languages (C-Sharp, MonoBASIC, etc...)
-            within a DBMS engine, such as, MySQL or PostgreSQL.</li>
-		<li>implement .net 1.2 classes, such as, those found in System.Data.ProviderBase</li>
-		<li>other stuff which can be brought up on the mono-list</li>
-	</ul></li>
-</ul>
-
-** Bugs and Feature Requests
-
-<ul>
-
-	<li>Bugs with Mono or any data provider in Mono should be reported 
-	    in Mono's Bugzilla <a href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com/">here</a>.  If you
-	    do not have a Bugzilla user account, it is free 
-	    and easy to create 
-	    one <a href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com/createaccount.cgi">here</a>.</li>
-	
-	<li>Any requests for new features or missing functionality
-	    can entered as a bug in Bugzilla too</li>
-
-</ul>
-	
-** ADO.NET Data Providers
-	
-<p>Mono has many ADO.NET Data Providers to get you connected:
-			
-<ul>
-	<li><a href="http://www.go-mono.com/ibmdb2.html">IBM DB2 Universal Database</a></li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.go-mono.com/mysql.html">MySQL</a></li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.go-mono.com/odbc.html">ODBC</a></li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.go-mono.com/oracle.html">Oracle</a></li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.go-mono.com/oledb.html">OLE DB</a></li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.go-mono.com/postgresql.html">PostgreSQL</a></li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.go-mono.com/sqlclient.html">Microsoft SQL Server</a></li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.go-mono.com/sqlite.html">SQL Lite</a></li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.go-mono.com/sybase.html">Sybase</a></li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.go-mono.com/tdsclient.html">Older Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases</a></li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>Providers which we do not have, but we would like to have.  Currently,
-	some of these databases are supported via the ODBC or OLE DB providers.
-
-<ul>
-	<li><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnsql2k/html/sqlxml_intromanagedclasses.asp?frame=true">Managed Classes for SqlXml</a> which is
-		a .NET data provider for retrieving XML data from a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database.  The System.Data.SqlClient provider
-		in Mono can be used as a starting point at mcs/class/System.Data/System.Data.SqlClient.</li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.hughes.com.au/">miniSQL</a></li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.sleepycat.com/">BerkeleyDB (Sleepycat)</a></li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.sapdb.org/">SapDB</a></li>
-	<li><a href="http://www-3.ibm.com/software/data/informix/">Informix</a></li>	
-	<li><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/">Foxpro</a></li>	
-	<li>Microsoft Access - could be done by creating C# bindings to <a href="http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net">MDB Tools</a></li>
-	<li>dbase or xbase type database files</li>
-	<li>Others are welcome</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>External Projects that have created ADO.NET Providers that work on Mono:
-
-<ul>
-
-	<li><a href="http://www.go-mono.com/firebird.html">Firebird Interbase</a></li> is a
-	   Firebird SQL Managed data provider. It can be used with Interbase databases too.  It
-	   is written in 100%C# and does not require a client library. Works on .NET and Mono.</a>
-	<li><a href="http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/npgsql/projdisplay.php">Npgsql</a> is a 
-	   PostgreSQL Managed data provider written 
-	   in 100% C#, does not require a client library, and works on .NET and Mono</li>
-	<li><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysqlnet/">MySQLNet</a> is a 
-	   MySQL Managed data provider written in 100% C#, does not
-	   require a client library, and works on .NET and Mono</li>
-</ul>
-
-** Tools
-
-<p>Some tools that can be used for ADO.NET and other technologies (ASP.NET, XML, etc).
-
-<ul>	
-		<li><p><b>SQL# command line query tool</b> is a command-line tool to
-		    enter and execute SQL statements or 
-		    execute a batch of SQL commands from a file.
-		  <p>It can
-		  be used to test connection strings, connect to various ADO.NET
-		  providers, save output to text, html, or xml.
-		  <p>The SQL# CLI is distributed with the
-		  Mono runtime and class libraries as an executable assembly sqlsharp.exe.
-		  <p>The source to SQL# CLI can be found in the mcs source at
-		  mcs/tools/SqlSharp/SqlSharpCli.cs
-		  </li>
-		  
-		<li><p><b>SQL# For GTK#</b> - is a graphical SQL database query tool</b> allows a user
-		  to enter SQL commands in a top panel which is a text editor.
-		  <p>It has a toolbar and menu for various tasks, such as, executing
-		  SQL commands one-at-a-time or in a batch.  The results would appear
-		  in a bottom panel in a grid or could be saved to a file (xml, html, csv).
-		  <p>Also, the bottom panel would allow logging of SQL command executed.
-		  Here is a screenshot of <a href="http://go-mono.com/images/sqlsharp.png">SQL# For GTK#</a> which
-		  provides a GUI interface using the <a href="http://gtk-sharp.sourceforge.net">Gtk#</a> toolkit.
-		  <p>SQL# For GTK# can be found in mono cvs as sqlsharpgtk.</li>  
-</ul>
-
-<p>Tools we would like to have, but they have not been created yet:
-
-<ul>
-		<li>Mono has an <b>XML Schema Definition tool</b> (xsd.exe).</b>
-					
-			<ul>
-				<li>This tool
-					would works like the xsd.exe tool included with 
-					the .NET Framework.  The Xsd.exe tool has the

-					following uses:

-					<ul>

-					<li><b>XDR to XSD</b> - used to generate an XML schema from an XDR (XML Data Reduced schema) file. 

-						XDR was used by Microsoft prior to XSD becoming a W3C recommendation.  So, this needs

-						to be supported for legacy reasons</li>

-					<li><b>XML to XSD</b> - used to generate an XML schema from an XML file</li> 

-					<li><b>XSD to DataSet</b> - used to generate DataSet classes from an XSD schema file.  The

-						DataSet classes created can then be used with XML data</li>

-					<li><b>XSD to Classes</b> - used to generate classes from an XSD schema file. The 

-					    classes created can be used with System.XML.Serialization.XMLSerializer 

-					    to read and write XML code that follows the schema</li>

-					<li><b>Classes to XSD</b> - used to generate an XML schema 

-						from type(s) in a assembly file. The 

-						XML schema created by the tool defines the XML format used 

-						by System.XML.Serialization.XMLSerializer</li>

-					</ul>

-				<li>Xsd.exe is used to manipulate XML schemas that 

-					follow the http://www.w3.org/XML/Schema">XML Schema Definition (XSD)</a> language 

-					recommended	by the <a href="http://w3.org/">World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)</a></li>

-					

-				<li>How this tool could be created:

-					<ul>

-						<li>Write xsd.exe in C# and run on Mono</li>

-						<li>Make sure we have XML Schema support in System.Xml.Schema.  Currently,

-						it is wrapped around libxlst</li>

-						<li>XML serialization support in System.Data classes</li>

-						<li>Create the TypedDataSetGenerator class in System.Data</li>

-						<li>Using CodeDOM or Reflection.Emit to create code</li>

-						<li>Make sure DataSet, XmlDataDocument, and related classes 

-						are implemented fully</li>

-					</ul>

-				</li>	

-				
-			</li>
-			</ul>
-		</li>
-		
-		<li><b>Application XML Configuration File Editor</b> - a tool
-		to create and edit an application configuration file, such as,
-		we have a .net application named Accouting.exe, the tool could edit
-		the application configuration file Accounting.exe.config so a user could
-		connect to the database used by the program.  This tool has not
-		been created.</li>
-		
-		<li><b>Configuration Command-Line and GUI Tools for ADO.NET</b>.  
-		  These tools have not been started.  The tools would be written in
-		  C# and run on Mono. The
-		  configuration tool can be used to do the following:
-		  <ul> 
-			<li>bebased on the Application XML Configuration File Editor</li>
-			<li>setup DSNs for the ODBC and OLE-DB
-				providers and configurations for 
-				their underlying libraries (unixODBC and libgda)</li>
-		    <li>setup configurations for the Mono.Data.ProviderFactory
-				that Brian Ritchie created</li>
-		    <li>setup native database client library configurations too, such as,
-				freetds.conf for Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase</li>
-		  </ul>
-		</li>
-
-</ul>
-
-** Extra Classes in Mono ADO.NET
-
- <p>An ADO.NET <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/provider-factory.html">Provider Factory</a> 
-    was created by Brian Ritchie.  The 
-	Provider Factory is a way to dynamically create
-	connections, commands, parameters, and data adapters based on configuration 
-	information.
-	
-** Current Status
-
-	<p>Various ADO.NET Providers have been created at various stages of 
-	development including: 
-	Firebird/Interbase, IBM DB2 Universal Database, MySQL, ODBC, OLE DB, Oracle,
-	PostgreSQL, SQL Lite, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server, and TDS Generic.  
-	See their respective web page for more information.
-	
-	<p><b>Data Relations</b> via DataRelation, DataRelationCollection, and
-	other classes have not been implemented
-	
-	<p><b>Constraints</b> need lots of work
-	
-	<p><b>XML Schema Definition tool</b> xsd.exe that is included
-	in the .NET Framework has not been created for Mono
-	
-	<p><b>TypeDataSetGenerator</b> needs to be stubbed and implemented.
-		
-	<p><b>DataSet, DataAdaptor, DataTable, DataRelation, DataRow, DataColumn,
-	DataColumnCollection, DataRowCollection, and others</b> need more work.  There are
-	many classes that are just stubs and need to be implemented.  Ville Palo has been
-	doing much testing here.
-
-	<p><b>XML support in System.Data</b> needs work.  This involves working on
-	the classes: DataSet, XmlDataDocument, and the method ExecuteXmlReader() that
-	exists in a provider's class that implements IDbCommand, and others.
-	Stuart Caborn has started the XML support in a DataSet.  Tim Coleman started
-	XML support in the ExecuteXmlReader() in a SqlCommand.  Ville Palo has been
-	heavily modifying DataSet, XmlDataDocument, and other classes for reading
-	and writing XML.  XML Serialization support in DataSet needs to be implemented.
-		
-	<p><b>Integration with ASP.NET</b> has been created.  Data binding of
-	a DataTable in a DataSet to a System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid works.  Data binding
-	of other types works too.
-	
-	<p><b>Database Access from ASP.NET</b>:
-	<ul>
-		<li>Take a look at xsp in cvs and look at the examples in test: dbpage1.aspx
-		and dbpage2.aspx:
-			<ul>
-				<li>Notice that the namespace System.Data is imported via <b>import</b></li>
-				<li>A NameValueCollection is gotten using ConfigurationSettings.AppSetings. These
-				settings are gotten from the file server.exe.config which is a XML file.   The XML
-				file has a section appSettings.  In the appSettings section, you have keys 
-				for DBProviderAssembly, DBConnectionType, and DBConnectionString.
-				<ul>
-					<li><b>DBProviderAssembly</b> is the assembly of the ADO.NET provider.  
-					      For example: 
-					      "Mono.Data.PostgreSqlClient"</li>
-					<li><b>DBConnectionType</b> is the System.Type of the class that 
-					      implements System.Data.IDbConnection that is found
-				          in the DBProviderAssembly.  
-				          For example: 
-				          "Mono.Data.PostgreSqlClient.PgConnection"</li> 
-				    <li><b>DBConnectionString</b> is the ConnectionString to set to the
-				          IDbConnection object to use in opening a connection to a data source.
-				          For Example: 
-				          "hostaddr=127.0.0.1;user=monotest;password=monotest;dbname=monotest"</li>
-				</ul>
-				<li>The function GetConnectionData() gets the database provider assembly, connection type,
-				and connection string parameters if they exist; otherwise, it uses default values.  This is
-				done during the loading of the web page.</li>
-				<li>With the connection parameters, the assembly is loaded, the connection type is verified that
-				it implements IDbConnection and an instance of the class can be created, creates a instance
-				of the class, sets the connection string, and opens the connection.</li>
-			</ul>
-		</li>
-	</ul>
-	
-	<p><b>Integration with Windows.Forms</b> has not been started, such as, data binding 
-	to a System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.  This may involve implementing many classes
-	in System.Windows.Forms and System.Data.
-	
-	<p><b>Integration with <a href="http://gtk-sharp.sourceforge.net/">GTK#</a></b> 
-	has not been started, such as, data binding
-	to a GtkTreeView.  This may involve creating new classes
-	to go between the glist data model and the ADO.NET data model.
-	Mike Kestner or Rachel Hestilov would be the best people to ask for help on GTK#.
-	
-	<p><b>Integration with QT#</b> has not been started.  Any information on 
-	how this can be done is appreciated.  Marcus would be the best 
-	person to ask about QT#.
-	
-	<p><b>Building System.Data</b>
-	
-	<p>The System.Data.dll gets built with the rest of the class library.
-	To compile the System.Data.dll assembly separately, you need:
-
-	<b>On Unix</b>
-
-	<ul>
-		* update your mono sources. Be sure you have latest mcs.exe
-		  and .dll's, since there have been many fixes needed for
-		  compilation on Linux.
-
-		* compile System.Data.dll:
-<pre>
- cd mcs/class/System.Data<br>
- mcs --target library -o \
-    System.Data.dll @list
-</pre>
-	</ul>
-
-	<b>On Windows</b>
-
-	<ul>
-		* update your mono sources. Be sure you have latest mcs.exe
-		  and .dll's.  You can use the same method as Linux, 
-		  or you can use NAnt.
-
-		* To use NAnt:
-
-<pre>
- cd mcs/class/System.Data
- ../../nant/NAnt.exe
-</pre>
-			
-		* This will automatically copy the System.Data.dll to Test.
-		  If you need to do a clean for the System.Data.dll assembly,<br><br>
-
-<pre>
- cd mcs/class/System.Data
- ../../nant/NAnt.exe clean 
-</pre>
-	</ul>
-
-** Testing
-
-<ul>
-	<li>Testing connection-oriented classes are done 
-	via the provider specific tests
-	found in the mcs source at mcs/class</br>

-	interpreter and JITer (mono) and the Gtk# bindings.
-
-	The server is located in Spain.
-
-** Updating the sources
-
-	To update your sources every day, you use this command:
-
-<pre>
-	export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.go-mono.com:/mono
-	cvs -z3 update -dP mcs mono gtk-sharp
-</pre>
-
-** Thanks
-
-	Thanks to <a href="http://www.hispalinux.es">HispaLinux</a>
-	for providing this Anon CVS server.  The server is located in
-	Spain.
-
-	Special thanks to Jesus Climent, Rodrigo Moya, Juantomás
-	García and Ismael Olea for making this happen.
-
-	Thanks to Matt Liotta of MontaraSoftware for hosting our
-	US-based AnonCVS server.

-<a name="#mirror">
-** Becoming an AnonCVS mirror
-
-	To become an AnonCVS mirror, you currently need about 40
-	megabytes of free disk space and bandwidth that you do not
-	mind sharing (you probably want enough to spare).
-
-	I need to be able to rsync to your machine from the main CVS
-	server.  The preferred method to rsync is to setup ssh in your
-	machine.
-
-	The requirements are:
-	<ul>
-		* An account where we can ssh into.
-
-		* rsync.
-
-		* AnonCVS setup with the same paths as the rest of the
-		  servers.
-
-		* Currently, about 40 megabytes of disk space, but this 
-		  will likely grow as the project evolves.
-
-		* A sysadmin contact e-mail address.
-	</ul>

-* ASP.NET
-
-	ASP.NET support is divided in two pieces:
-	<ul>
-		* Web Forms (Web Applications infrastructure).
-
-		* Web Services (the SOAP-based rpc system).
-	</ul>
-
-	Both are functional at this point, and applications like
-	"IBuySpy" run with Mono.
-
-	ASP.NET works either embedded into
-	our XSP server test server or the mod_mono Apache module.
-
-	We are now working on bug fixing and adding missing features
-	after making the whole pipeline compatible with MS.
-
-	Tim started work on the Web Services. After that, Lluis is in
-	charge and has been working hard on them as part of our
-	<a href="http://www.ximian.com/about_us/press_center/press_releases/index.html?pr=sourcegear">SourceGear</a> contract.
-	
-	Web services are now supported and there are some samples in the
-	XSP set of tests.
-
-** Hosting
-
-	ASP.NET provides a hosting interface.  Today we ship support
-	for two different hosting mechanisms:
-	<ul>
-		* <a href="#xsp">XSP</a>: A light-weight C# web server.
-
-		* <a href="#mod_mono">mod_mono</a>: An apache module
-		  that can host the Mono runtime and the ASP.NET runtime
-	</ul>
-
-<a name="xsp">
-** XSP
-
-	XSP is a simple web server written in C# that can be used to
-	run your ASP.NET applications.  The code is available from our
-	<a href="download.html">download page</a> or from the <a
-	href="anoncvs.html">Anonymous CVS</a> repository (module name:
-	xsp)/.
-	
-	This is where initial development of the .aspx/.ascx/.asax
-	compiler to C# took place. That compiler is now integrated in
-	System.Web classes mostly under System.Web.Compilation
-	namespace.  We added a new web server that works with mono and
-	MS runtime and is being used to debug our classes.  It resides
-	in xsp/server.
-
-	A couple of classes of this new server can be reused/extended
-	to make an apache module/cgi using mono (MonoWorkerRequest and
-	MonoApplicationHost).  This server also uses a couple of
-	plugins distributed with Mono to support gzip HTTP transfers.
-
-	There is also a set of .aspx pages to test the server along with
-	a few user controls under xsp/test.
-
-	You can check it out from CVS and run 'make install' to test it.
-
-<a name="mod_mono">
-* mod_mono
-
-	This Apache module is available from our <a
-	href="download.html">download page</a>. The <a href="anoncvs.html">
-	cvs</a> module name is mod_mono. It works with both 1.3 and 2.0
-	versions of the <a href="http://httpd.apache.org">apache server</a>.
-
-	It allows apache to serve ASP.NET pages.
-
-	Work is underway to improve it.
-
-** Controls
-
-	A lot of work has been put in the various classes that
-	implement the controls (UI.HtmlControls and UI.WebControls).
-	They have been coded mostly in the dark, and without being
-	able to test them in real life: Gaurav and Leen worked very
-	hard on this namespace. After that, we keep fixing bugs on
-	them.
-
-	We can now render all HtmlControls and all WebControls.
-
-	Help in making the controls better is appreciated.
-
-** ASP.NET and free controls.
-
-	We want to encourage developers to create open source controls
-	that can be used both on Mono's ASP.NET and Microsoft's ASP.NET.  
-
-** How to Help
-
-        Testing and fixing HtmlControls, WebControls and validators is an
-	easy way to help.
-
-        In the CVS module XSP you can find a small web server used for
-	testing and a directory containing sample aspx pages.
-
-        You have some documentation under doc directory and in the README
-        file of each directory. They explain how to test our System.Web.
-        Testing is really easy!
-
-	As the server also works with MS runtime, you can use it to check
-	what the expected results are.

-
-	<ol>
-		* Submit a test case, the smaller it is, the better
-
-		* Use <a href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com">
-		http://bugzilla.ximian.com</a> to report the bug.
-		
-		<p>In <b>addition</b> to bugzilla, posting to the list is
-		fine if the bug merits larger exposure or design
-		discussions to solve; posting to the list twice or more
-		is just a way to annoy people and make them waste time,
-		specially when you start a new thread about it.
-
-		* If the test involves libraries or assemblies that are
-		not part of mono, add info about where to download all
-		the dependencies, and how to compile/install them.
-
-		* If compiling the test case requires more than:
-		<pre> mcs test.cs </pre>
-		provide the <b>full command line</b> you used to compile
-		the test.
-
-		* If running the test requires more than:
-		<pre> mono test.exe </pre>
-		provide the <b>full command line</b> needed to replicate
-		the bug.
-
-		* Provide info about the version of the software you're
-		using (both mono and the operating system or relevant
-		libraries).
-
-		* Provide the output you expect the test case to produce.
-		
-		* Provide the actual output <b>you</b> get from the test case.
-	</ol>
-
-	A good bug report complies with at least 6 items from the list.
-	If your bug report complies with 3 or less items, it is very
-	poor and it means it will take much more time to fix (when it's
-	not ignored).

-* MCS: The Ximian C# compiler
-
-	The Mono C# compiler is considered feature complete at this
-	point and relatively mature.  MCS is able to compile itself
-	and many more C# programs (there is a test suite included that
-	you can use).  It is routinely used to compile Mono, roughly
-	half a million lines of C# code.
-
-** Obtaining MCS
-
-	The Mono C# compiler is part of the `mcs' module in the Mono CVS
-	you can get it from our <a href="anoncvs.html">Anonymous CVS</a> server,
-	or you can get nightly <a href="download.html">download page</a>.
-
-** Running MCS
-
-	MCS is written in C# and uses heavily the .NET APIs.  MCS runs
-	on Linux with the Mono runtime and on Windows with both the
-	.NET runtime and the Mono runtime.
-
-** Reporting Bugs in MCS
-
-	When you report a bug, try to provide a small test case that would
-	show the error so we can include this as part of the Mono C# regression
-	test suite.
-
-	If the bug is an error or a warning that we do not flag, write
-	a sample program called `csXXXX.cs' where XXXX is the code number
-	that is used by the Microsoft C# compiler that illustrates the 
-	problem.  That way we can also do regression tests on the invalid
-	input.  
-
-** Phases of the compiler
-
-	The compiler has a number of phases:
-
-	<ul>
-		* Lexical analyzer: hand-coded lexical analyzer that
-		  provides tokens to the parser.
-
-		* The Parser: the parser is implemented using Jay (A
-		  Berkeley Yacc port to Java, that I ported to C#).
-		  The parser does minimal work and syntax checking,
-		  and only constructs a parsed tree.
-
-		  Each language element gets its own class.  The code
-		  convention is to use an uppercase name for the
-		  language element.  So a C# class and its associated
-		  information is kept in a "Class" class, a "struct"
-		  in a "Struct" class and so on.  Statements derive
-		  from the "Statement" class, and Expressions from the
-		  Expr class.
-
-		* Parent class resolution: before the actual code
-		  generation, we need to resolve the parents and
-		  interfaces for interface, classe and struct
-		  definitions.
-
-		* Semantic analysis: since C# can not resolve in a
-		  top-down pass what identifiers actually mean, we
-		  have to postpone this decision until the above steps
-		  are finished.
-
-		* Code generation: The code generation is done through
-		  the System.Reflection.Emit API.
-	</ul>
-
-** CIL Optimizations.
-
-	The compiler performs a number of simple optimizations on its input:
-	constant folding (this is required by the C# language spec) and 
-	can perform dead code elimination.
-
-	Other more interesting optimizations like hoisting are not possible
-	at this point since the compiler output at this point does not
-	generate an intermediate representation that is suitable to
-	perform basic block computation.  
-
-	Adding an intermediate layer to enable the basic block
-	computation to the compiler should be a simple task, but we
-	are considering having a generic CIL optimizer.  Since all the
-	information that is required to perform basic block-based
-	optimizations is available at the CIL level, we might just skip
-	this step altogether and have just a generic IL optimizer that
-	would perform hoisting on arbitrary CIL programs, not only
-	those produced by MCS.  
-
-	If this tool is further expanded to perform constant folding
-	(not needed for our C# compiler, as it is already in there)
-	and dead code elimination, other compiler authors might be
-	able to use this generic CIL optimizer in their projects
-	reducing their time to develop a production compiler. 
-
-* Open bugs
-
-	See the <a href="bugs.html">bugs page</a> for more information.
-
-	A test suite is maintained to track the progress of
-	the compiler and various programs are routinely compiled and
-	ran.

-** History
-
-	MCS was able to parse itself on April 2001, MCS compiled itself
-	for the first time on December 28 2001.  MCS became self hosting
-	on January 3rd, 2002. 
-
-	The Mono Runtime and the Mono execution engine were able to make
-	our compiler self hosting on March 12, 2002.
-
-** Questions and Answers
-
-Q: Does the Mono C# compiler support C# 2.0?
-
-A: At this point the Mono C# compiler supports some of the features of
-   C# 2.0, but the support has not been completed.   To enable 2.0 features
-   you must use the -2 flag to the compiler.
-
-Q: What features are available as of Feb 2004?
-
-A: Iterators have been implemented as well as method group implicit
-   conversion to delegates on the main compiler branch.
-
-   We have a branch of the compiler in the module `mcs/gmcs' which is
-   where we are developing the Generics support for the compiler.  Plenty
-   of tests work (see mcs/tests/gen-*.cs for a list of tests), but work
-   remains to be done.
-
-Q: Will the C# 2.0 features be part of the Mono 1.0 release?
-
-A: Only a few, the generic compiler will not be part of the 1.0
-   stable release, but a beta preview will be distributed.
-
-Q: Why not write a C# front-end for GCC?
-
-A: I wanted to learn about C#, and this was an exercise in this
-   task.  The resulting compiler is highly object-oriented, which has
-   lead to a very nice, easy to follow and simple implementation of
-   the compiler.
-
-   I found that the design of this compiler is very similar to
-   Guavac's implementation.
-
-   Targeting the CIL/MSIL byte codes would require to re-architecting
-   GCC, as GCC is mostly designed to be used for register machines.
-   
-   The GCC Java engine that generates Java byte codes cheats: it does
-   not use the GCC backend; it has a special backend just for Java, so
-   you can not really generate Java bytecodes from the other languages
-   supported by GCC. 
-
-Q: If your C# compiler is written in C#, how do you plan on getting
-   this working on a non-Microsoft environment.
-
-   We will do this through an implementation of the CLI Virtual
-   Execution System for Unix (our JIT engine). 
-
-   Our JIT engine is working for the purposes of using the compiler.
-   The supporting class libraries are being worked on to fully support
-   the compiler.
-
-Q: Do you use Bison?
-
-A: No, currently I am using Jay which is a port of Berkeley Yacc to
-   Java that I later ported to C#.  This means that error recovery is
-   not as nice as I would like to, and for some reason error
-   productions are not being caught.  
-
-   In the future I want to port one of the Bison/Java ports to C# for
-   the parser.
-
-Q: Should someone work on a GCC front-end to C#?
-
-A: I would love if someone does, and we would love to help anyone that
-   takes on that task, but we do not have the time or expertise to
-   build a C# compiler with the GCC engine.  I find it a lot more fun
-   personally to work on C# on a C# compiler, which has an intrinsic
-   beauty.
-
-   We can provide help and assistance to anyone who would like to work
-   on this task.
-
-Q: Should someone make a GCC backend that will generate CIL images?
-
-A: I would love to see a backend to GCC that generates CIL images.  It
-   would provide a ton of free compilers that would generate CIL
-   code.  This is something that people would want to look into
-   anyways for Windows interoperation in the future.
-
-   Again, we would love to provide help and assistance to anyone
-   interested in working in such a project.
-
-Q: What about making a front-end to GCC that takes CIL images and
-   generates native code?
-
-A: I would love to see this, specially since GCC supports this same
-   feature for Java Byte Codes.  You could use the metadata library
-   from Mono to read the byte codes (ie, this would be your
-   "front-end") and generate the trees that get passed to the
-   optimizer.
-
-   Ideally our implementation of the CLI will be available as a shared
-   library that could be linked with your application as its runtime
-   support. 
-
-   Again, we would love to provide help and assistance to anyone
-   interested in working in such a project.
-   
-Q: But would this work around the GPL in the GCC compiler and allow
-   people to work on non-free front-ends?
-
-A: People can already do this by targeting the JVM byte codes (there
-   are about 130 compilers for various languages that target the JVM).
-
-Q: Why are you writing a JIT engine instead of a front-end to GCC?
-
-A: The JIT engine and runtime engine will be able to execute CIL
-   executables generated on Windows.

-* CVS Access
-
-	Here we describe how one obtains commit access to the Mono CVS
-	repository and the responsibilities that come with that access
-	privilege.
-
-	These only apply to the Mono CVS repository, and not to the <a
-	href="http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/community/?monocomm">Mono
-	Community</a> repositories at Novell Forge.
-
-** What is CVS?
-
-	Briefly, CVS is a system tool used to store and maintain files and 
-	a history of their changes over time. The Mono source code and related 
-	files are kept on a CVS server at Ximian.
-
-** What Access?
-
-	We mean "commit" access. This is the privilege to make permanent
-	changes to the Mono source code and related files. You need an account
-	created by the CVS server administrator in order to commit changes to
-	the files on that server.
-
-** How Does One Obtain Access?
-
-	Any active Mono developer can get a CVS account. Normally one is
-	considered an 'active' developer after sending several patches to the 
-	mailing lists and/or bugzilla for review.
-
-	If you are not a developer, but want to access the latest sources, 
-	please see the <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>
-	instructions.  If you are not a direct contributor to Mono,
-	but want to host your .NET or Mono-based project, you can use
-	<a href="forge.html">Novell Forge</a>.
-
-
-	If you feel you are ready for a CVS account send an e-mail to
-	<a href="mailto:miguel@ximian.com">miguel</a> with your public OpenSSH 
-	key for this purpose.  Please specify if the key was generated with SSH
-	version 1 or version 2. Detailed instructions are below.
-
-* Policies
-
-	It is necessary that everyone with CVS commit access respect and
-	adhere to the following rules. If you ask for and are granted CVS
-	access, you are agreeing to follow these policies.
-	
-** Code License
-
-	If you are about to commit code to a module, the code that is
-	being committed should be released under the same license as
-	the code that the module has.
-
-	Check the license if you are unsure, but it is basically:
-	class libraries X11; compiler and tools: GPL; runtime: LGPL.
-
-	If in doubt, check with the maintainers of the module, or send
-	mail to mono-hackers-list@ximian.com.
-
-** Changing code
-
-	Even if you have CVS commit access, that doesn't mean you can change 
-	code at will in any directory or module. Directories and Namespaces 
-	have a sort of unofficial ownership. If you are not the owner of a 
-	piece of code and you want to make changes/fixes to it, there are two 
-	cases.
-	1) The change is a typo fix or a one-liner build or trivial fix. In 
-	this case almost anyone can commit (always remembering to add the 
-	proper changelog entry to explain the change). We say "almost anyone",
-	because changes to certain directories almost always should be reviewed
-	first. Such as changes to core stuff: corlib/System, System.Collections,
-	mini/, metadata/, System.IO.
-
-	2) The change is larger. In this case the patch *must* be sent to
-	mono-devel-list for review by the owner of the code and by the other
-	hackers. Always submit such patches to the list or bugzilla, although
-	you may put the owner of the code in the CC header. Hackers come and go.
-	Mailing a patch to only a personal address is a good way to get the
-	patch forgotten and missed. Plus, getting the patches reviewed as well
-	as reviewing them, is a good thing, so try to get used to it.
-
-	Note: If the patch is an addition of code and doesn't change any of the
-	existing code, the rules are slightly relaxed: there is more freedom
-	in committing such changes, if they don't interfere with the existing
-	codebase.
-
-** Owning Code
-
-	Now, how do you get to be the owner of a chunk of code? The answer is
-	simple. You wrote the code, so you're the unofficial owner. There is 
-	also another way. After sending a few patches for the code, the
-	owner (or the core developers of mono, if the owner somehow disappeared)
-	trusts you and tells you you're free to commit without getting his
-	review first.
-
-
-	Here is a (partial) list of namespaces/directories with their owners:
-	<ul>
-        <li>Debugger module and debug code in mono: martin
-        <li>mcs compiler: miguel, martin, ravi
-        <li>Reflection/Reflection.Emit: lupus, zoltan
-        <li>IO-layer: dick
-        <li>mini: lupus, dietmar
-        <li>test suite: nickd (though anyone should feel free to add test cases)
-        <li>System.IO: dick, ville
-        <li>security stuff: spouliot
-        <li>ilasm: jackson
-        <li>System.Web and related: gonzalo
-        <li>System.Xml: eno, piers
-        <li>Remoting: dietmar, lluis
-        <li>interop/marshal: dietmar
-        <li>threads: dick
-	</ul>
-
-	If you are the owner of a piece of code, feel free to commit code, and 
-	delegate the work to others. 
-
-	But, if you're not the owner of the code, committing a rewrite without
-	getting a review first is not good cvsitizenship (especially when the
-	rewrite claimed to fix bugs, but not a single regression test has been
-	added to the suite).
-
-** Commit Rules
-
-	Once you know you can commit a patch (because of the rules above) there
-	are a few other small rules to follow:
-	<ul>
-	<li>Always add a changelog entry with a meaningful explanation
-	<li>If you fix a bug, add a regression test for it in the regression
-	suite
-	<li>Don't commit unrelated changes together with a fix: do fine-grained
-	commits
-	<li>Always check what you're committing: make sure you're only committing
-	what you need and make sure you don't change line endings and 
-	whitespace. Do a 'cvs diff -u' of the files you're going to commit and 
-	check the changes.
-	<li>Don't do reformatting commits, unless you're the original author of
-	the code
-	<li>When fixing bugs, don't follow the documentation blindly, it may 
-	well be wrong. Test the behavior on the MS runtime or ask on the list 
-	for discussion if unsure. Don't be afraid of having your changes
-	reviewed.
-	<li>Never remove copyright notices from the code
-	<li>Never remove licensing info from code
-	<li>Never commit code you didn't write yourself or code that doesn't
-	have a suitable license
-	<li>Follow the style conventions
-	<li>Keep an eye on performance considerations, especially for code in
-	core classes, ask on the list for guidance
-	<li>Do a regression test run and a bootstrapping build if making changes
-	to core functionality before committing. Do not commit code that would 
-	break the compile, because that wastes everybody's time.  Two things 
-	are important in this step: trying to build your sources and making 
-	sure that you add all the new files before you do a commit.
-	</ul>
-
-	Also, remember to pat yourself on the back after the commit, smile and
-	think we're a step closer to a better free software world.
-
-
-* Using CVS.
-
-	This is a small tutorial for using CVS.
-
-** Generating an SSH key
-
-	If you are using SSH version 2, please generate your key using:
-
-<pre>
-	ssh-keygen -t rsa
-</pre>
-
-	And mail <a href="mailto:miguel@ximian.com">miguel</a> the 
-	id_rsa.pub file.
-
-	If you are using SSH version 1, run:
-<pre>
-	ssh-keygen
-</pre>
-
-	And mail <a href="mailto:miguel@ximian.com">miguel</a> your 
-	identity.pub file.
-
-	If you are using SSH from SSH Communications Security (they offer
-	a free SSH client for personal use), you have to use OpenSSH to
-	convert your public key to the required format. You have to use 
-	OpenSSH's ssh-keygen program and write the following:
-
-<pre>
-	ssh-keygen -i -f id_XXX.pub > my_public_key.pub
-</pre>
-	
-	where the file id_XXX.pub is your public key file, 
-	normally located under ~/.ssh/ or ~/.ssh2/.
-	Send to <a href="mailto:miguel@ximian.com">miguel</a> the 
-	my_public_key.pub file. 
-
-	The *exact* format for this file must be:
-
-<pre>
-	ssh-rsa XXXXX....
-</pre>
-
-	You will need CVS and SSH.  Windows users can get both by
-	installing Cygwin (<a
-	href="http://www.cygwin.com">http://www.cygwin.com</a>)
-
-	Unix users will probably have those tools installed already.
-
-** Checking out the sources
-
-	To check out the sources for the first time from the
-	repository, use this command:
-
-<pre>
-	export CVS_RSH=ssh
-	export CVSROOT=username@mono-cvs.ximian.com:/cvs/public
-	cvs -z3 co mcs mono
-</pre>
-
-** Updating your sources
-
-	Every day people will be making changes, to get your latest
-	updated sources, use:
-
-<pre>
-	cvs -z3 update -Pd mcs mono
-</pre>
-
-	Note: The '-z3' enables compression for the whole cvs action.
-	The '-Pd' makes the update operation (P)rune directories that
-	have been deleted and get new (d)irectories added to the
-	repository.
-
-** Making patches
-
-	Usually you will want to make a patch to contribute, and let
-	other people review it before committing it.  To obtain such a
-	"patch", you type:
-	
-<pre>
-	cd directory-you-want-to-diff
-	cvs -z3 diff -u > file.diff
-	mail mono-list@ximian.com < file.diff
-</pre>
-
-** Committing your work
-
-	Once you get approval to commit to the CVS, or if you are
-	committing code that you are the maintainer of, you will want
-	to commit your code to CVS. 
-
-	To do this, you have to "add" any new files that you created:
-
-<pre>
-	cvs add new-file.cs
-</pre>
-
-	And then commit your changes to the repository:
-
-<pre>
-	cvs commit file-1.cs file-2.cs
-</pre>
-
-* Using SVN
-	
-	This is a small tutorial for using SVN (subversion).
-	For a more complete tutorial on subversion, look at
-	<a href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com/">the svn book</a>
-	or <a href="http://subversion.tigris.org">the svn homepage</a>
-
-** Generating a key
-
-	Follow the cvs instructions above.
-
-** Checking out the sources
-
-	To checkout the sources for the first time use the command:
-
-	Note: You should be running 0.35.1 (latest) of svn before attempting
-	anything here.
-
-<pre>
-	svn co svn+ssh://mono-cvs.ximian.com/svn/monodevelop/trunk/MonoDevelop
-</pre>
-	
-	If you have a different username on mono-cvs and the local computer
-	you can do the following:
-
-<pre>
-	svn co svn+ssh://username@mono-cvs.ximian.com/svn/monodevelop/trunk/MonoDevelop
-</pre>
-
-	before checking out.
-
-** Updating your sources
-
-	You can update your repository to the latest copy of MonoDevelop by
-	running the following command:
-
-<pre>
-	svn up
-</pre>
-
-	from inside your repository.
-
-** Committing your work
-
-	Before you commit anything, you should first update to the latest
-	sources by following the updating directions. After you are up to date
-	you need to run a:
-
-<pre>
-	svn add filename
-</pre>
-
-	for every file that you have created. You can get a list of these files
-	by running:
-
-<pre>
-	svn status
-</pre>
-
-	After all the files are added, run:
-
-<pre>
-	svn commit
-</pre>
-
-	to commit your changes.
-
-** For more information
-
-	Look at the MonoDevelop website (coming soon)
-
-* Keeping track of changes.
-
-	We provide two e-mail based mechanisms to keep track of
-	changes to the code base:
-	
-	<ul>
-		* <a href="mailto:mono-patches-request@ximian.com">
-		  mono-patches@ximian.com</a>: This mailing list receives
-		  in patch form all the changes that are being made to the
-		  CVS.
-
-		* <a href="mailto:mono-cvs-list-request@ximian.com">
-		  mono-cvs-list@ximian.com</a>: This mailing list only
-		  receives the CVS commit logs with a list of files
-		  modified.
-	</ul>
-
-	We hope to offer LXR and Bonsai in the future as well.
-
-	To subscribe, send an email message to
-	mono-cvs-list-request@ximian.com and in the body of the
-	message put `subscribe'.
-
-	This will send you an email message every time a change is
-	made to the CVS repository, together with the information that
-	the author of the changes submitted.
-
-	You might also want to track the live changes, subscribe to
-	the <a
-	href="mailto:mono-patches-request@ximian.com">mono-patches@ximian.com</a>
-	to receive the patches as they are checked into CVS.

-
-	The Class Library should be compatible with Microsoft's .NET
-	implementation.
-
-	Please see the <a href="class-status.html">Class Status</a>
-	page for a status of who is working on which classes.
-	
-	We will write as much code as possible in C#. We may need to

-	functionality of libraries like libart, Gtk+, and libc.
-
-** Contributing
-
-	We welcome contributions to the the Class Library.  To get

-
-
-** Missing features
-
-	Our class libraries miss some features, for example, most classes
-	do not implement the serialization bits at all, it would be a good
-	contribution to add this to each class.
-
-	This is a simple task, but it needs to be done in a compatible way
-	with the Microsoft.NET classes: using the same arguments to serialize
-	and reincarnate data.
-
-** Layout
-
-	The Class Library resides in the `mcs' module in the directoy
-	`class'.
-	
-	Each directory in the directory represents the assembly where
-	the code belongs to, and inside each directory we divide the
-	code based on the namespace they implement.
-
-	There are two cases when we should consider portability: when
-	we are dealing with a couple of classes only that differ from
-	system to system (Consider System.Net and System.IO for Win32
-	and Unix).  In those cases we will just place the files for
-	example on <t>corlib/System/System.IO/Unix-Console.cs</t> and
-	<t>corlib/System/System.IO/Win32-Console.cs</t>.
-
-	For classes that might differ more (for example, the
-	implementation of Windows.Forms), we might have different
-	directories altogether: <t>System.Windows.Forms/Win32</t>,
-	<t>System.Windows.Forms/Gtk+</t> and
-	<t>System.Windows.Forms/Cocoa</t>.
-
-** Using existing components from GNOME.
-
-	Our current plan is to implement the GUI tools on top of
-	Gtk+.  The only obstacle here is that applications from Windows
-	might expect to be able to pull the HWND property from the
-	widgets and use PInvoke to call Windows functions.
-
-** Class Library and Win32 dependencies.
-
-	There are a few spots where the Win32 foundation is exposed to
-	the class library (for example, the HDC and HWND properties in
-	the GDI+). Casual inspection suggests that these can be
-	safely mapped to Gdk's GC and GdkWindow pointers without
-	breaking anything.
-
-	The only drawback is that support for PInvoke of Win32 code
-	won't be available.  An alternate solution would be to use
-	portions of Wine, or even to use Wine as our toolkit.
-
-*** Initial GDI+ and WinForms implementation
-
-	The initial implementation will use Gtk+ as the underlying
- 	toolkit. Since GTK+ has already been ported to many windowing
-	systems other than X (including frame buffer, Win32, and BeOS)
-	its use should cover most applications for most users. 
-	
-*** Database access
-
-	We will implement ADO.NET functionality by reusing <a
-	href="http://www.gnome-db.org">GNOME-DB</a>. This is an ideal
-	choice, since GNOME-DB was implemented precisely to provide an
-	ADO-like system for GNOME.
-
-*** Component Integration
-
-	We will provide a new namespace to use GNOME specific features
-	as well as a namespace to host Bonobo interfaces and classes
-	in Mono.  
-
-** Licensing
-
-	The class library is being licensed under the terms of the 
-	<a
-	href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.html">MIT
-	license.</a>  This is the same license used by the X11 window
-	system.
-
-** Class Library testing
-
-	We need to write regression tests that will verify
-	the correctness of the class library, compiler, and JIT
-	engine.
-
-	Please write your regression tests using <a
-	href="http://nunit.sourceforge.net">NUnit</a>
-
-** Coding conventions
-
-	Please follow the conventions on the ECMA specification (On
-	the Annex Partition) for your coding your libraries. 
-
-	Use 8 space tabs for writing your code (hopefully we can keep
-	this consistent).  If you are modifying someone else's code, try
-	to keep the coding style similar.
-
-	For a rationale on 8 space tabs, read Linus Torvald's Coding
-	Style guidelines in the Linux kernel source for a rationale. 
-
-*** Missing implementation bits
-
-	If you implement a class and you are missing implementation bits,
-	please put in the code the word "TODO" and a description of what
-	is missing to be implemented.
-
-*** Tagging buggy code
-
-	If there is a bug in your implementation tag the problem by using
-	the word "FIXME" in the code, together with a description of the 
-	problem.
-
-	Do not use XXX or obscure descriptions, because otherwise people
-	will not be able to understand what you mean.
-
-*** Tagging Lame specs
-
-	Sometimes the specification will be lame (consider Version.ToString (fieldCount)
-	where there is no way of knowing how many fields are available, making the API
-	not only stupid, but leading to unreliable code).
-
-	In those cases, use the keyword "LAMESPEC".
-
-** Namespaces
-
-	We are using a number of namespaces in the class libraries for
-	private classes when we need them, you are encouraged to use these:
-
-<pre>
-Mono
- .Languages     // General Compiler classes
-   .CSharp      // Specific C# parsing/tokenizing classes
-   .MonoBASIC   // Specific VB.NET/MonoBASIC parsing/tokenizing classes
-   .Python      // Specific Python parsing/tokenizing classes
- .Runtime
-   .LateBind    // General latebinding-support for MonoBASIC/Python
-   .MonoBASIC   // Specific runtime classes for MonoBASIC programs
-   .Python      // Specific runtime classes for Python programs

-** FAQ
-
-Frequently asked questions about the class library:
-
-Q: I am writing a new class that overrides one of the system classes,
-   and I am getting a 1595 warning from the compiler.  Should we use a
-   different namespace?
-
-A: There is a quick solution to the problem, you can pass the command
-   line argument /nowarn:1595 and this will effectively let you use
-   your implementation of the code, while overriding the ones from the
-   system assemblies.

-* Class Library Documentation
-
-** Summary
-
-	While using inline XML tags to document classes is certainly
-	convenient, properly verbose documentation quickly overwhelms
-	the code, making the source quite difficult to read.  Furthermore,
-	multilingual documentation makes for significant additional text.
-	
-	With these considerations in mind, Mono is using external XML files
-	for class documentation, rather than documenting the source
-	inline.  The XML file format used is inspired by the XML format used
-	to document the ECMA APIs.  
-
-	Several tools exist for managing, verifying, generating,
-	and updating class library documentation.
-
-	The documentation infrastructure is part of the `Monodoc'
-	module.  Monodoc includes a graphical GUI browser and tools to
-	generate the initial stubbed XML document out of an assembly.
-	
-	Download `monodoc' to start producing documentation for your
-	application. 
-
-	For instructions, read the monodoc/README file.
-
-** Documentation Tools
-
-*** <a name="monodoc">MonoDoc</a>
-
-	The MonoDoc system offers both a GUI client as well as a <a
-	href="http://www.go-mono.com:8080">Web-based interface</a> to
-	the documentation.
-
-	The GUI edition uses <a
-	href="http://gtk-sharp.sf.net">Gtk#</a> and the Web edition
-	uses Mono's ASP.NET implementation. 
-
-	<img src="images/Screenshot-Monodoc.png">

-** Get Involved
-
-	Help us develop Mono's documentation tools!  Subscribe to
-	<a href="http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-docs-list">mono-docs-list</a>
-	and wade right in.
-
-	Monodoc today also supports a GUI-based collaborative editing
-	system.  You can now edit the documentation from the browser
-	and upload your contributions directly to the Mono site.

-* Compiling Mono
-
-	This document describes how to compile and install Mono from
-	its source code.  If you are only interested in running Mono,
-	you might want to install Mono from packages, which have been
-	tested.
-
-	The core of Mono is split in two components:
-
-	<ul>
-		* C components (available in the mono package)
-
-		* C# components (available in the mcs package).
-	</ul>
-
-	Mono is also available in various forms:
-
-	<dl>
-		<dt>Officially <a href="download.html">released</a> packages.</dt>
-		<dd>
-		  <p>This is the format of choice for people to use, since these
-		  have been tested and are known to build and work. 
-		</dd>
-		<dt><a href="daily">Daily</a> packages.</dt>
-		<dd>
-		  <p>This is a service offered for people who want to try out the
-		  daily changes. Baked daily.</dd>
-		<dt>CVS source code.</dt>
-		<dd>
-		  <p>These are available to Mono <a href="ccvs.html">developers</a> and
-		  also for enthusiasts through <a href="anoncvs.html">anonymous CVS</a>. 
-		</dd>
-		<dt>CVS snapshots.</dt>
-		<dd>
-		  <p>Available for curious developers which do not necessarily want to 
-		  install the CVS source.  Baked daily.
-		</dd>
-	</dl>
-
-* Compiling the code
-
-	There are a number of ways of compiling Mono
-
-	<ul>
-		<li>From the <a href="#scripts">scripts</A>
-
-		<LI><a href="#install">Manually</a> for the first time. 
-
-		<li>Manually, <a href="#upgrade">while upgrading</a> to CVS
-	</ul>
-
-	(which is an easy way to get the latest CVS information)
-
-<a name="scripts">
-* Compiling with scripts
-
-	These scripts should be used for installing from packages, specially
-	on Windows, where dependencies have not always been installed.
-
-	There are scripts to help build mono for both Unix and Windows.  Get
-	<a href="mono-build.sh">mono-build.sh</a> for Unix, or <a
-	href="mono-build-w32.sh">mono-build-w32.sh</a> for Windows.
-	These scripts automate the installation of GLIB and pkgconfig
-	(building from source on Unix, and using binary packages
-	provided by the GIMP for Windows project on Windows.)  To use
-	the script, follow these simple steps:
-
-	<ul>
-		* Save the script for your platform somewhere (e.g. /usr/local/bin)
-		* Make the script executable (i.e chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/mono-build.sh)
-		* Create a directory to hold the mono source, and the compiled binaries (e.g. mkdir ~/mono)
-		* Change to the new directory (i.e. cd ~/mono)
-		* run the script (i.e. /usr/local/bin/mono-build.sh)
-	</ul>
-
-	The script requires wget on either platform, and building the
-	software requires make, gcc, automake, autoconf, and libtool.
-	You should install these packages from your distribution or
-	with the cygwin installer. You should also take care of setting
-	the right environment variables as the PKG_CONFIG_FLAGS, etc.
-
-	The script will download required packages from
-	www.go-mono.com and do a cvs checkout of mono in the current
-	directory.  <b>IMPORTANT!:</b> The cvs server chosen defaults to 
-	anonymous cvs;
-	set your CVSROOT environment variable before running the script to
-	select a particular cvs server.
-
-<a name="install">
-
-** Building the software manually
-
-	You will need to obtain the Mono dependencies first: <a
-	href="http://www.gtk.org">glib 2.x</a> and 
-	<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig">pkg-config</a>.
-
-*** Building From Packages
-
-	This applies to both the officially released packages, as well as the
-	daily tarball packages.
-
-	<ul>
-		Unpack the Mono runtime distribution:
-		<pre class="shell">
-		tar xzvf mono-X.XX.tar.gz
-		cd mono-X.XX</pre>
-		<p>
-
-		Then configure, compile and install:
-
-		<pre class="shell">
-		./configure --prefix=/usr/local
-		make
-		make install</pre>
-
-		This will give you a runtime, C# compiler and runtime
-		libraries.  
-
-		If you want to recompile the runtime and the compiler,
-		follow these steps, first unpack the MCS package:
-
-		<pre class="shell">
-		tar xzvf mcs-X.XX.tar.gz</pre>
-
-		Then use the following command to compile and install:
-
-		<pre class="shell">
-		./configure --profile=atomic 
-		make</pre>
-
-		You can change /usr/local to something else if you want.
-	</ul>
-
-*** Building from CVS
-
-	To upgrade your Mono installation from CVS, it is very
-	important that you update your Mono and MCS modules from CVS
-	at the same time.  Failure to do so might result in a
-	problematic installation as the runtime and the class
-	libraries will be out of sync.
-
-	Run the following commands to update your CVS tree (more
-	details in <a href="ccvs.html">Cvs and Mono</a> and the <A
-	href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS and Mono</a> pages). 
-
-	<pre>
-	(cd mono; cvs update -dP .)
-	(cd mcs; cvs update -dP .)
-	</pre>
-
-	Then you can run:
-
-	<pre>
-	(cd mono; make fullbuild)
-	</pre>
-
-	Now you can install the result:
-
-	<pre>
-	(cd mono; make install)
-	</pre>
-
-	Notice that following the above procedure does not require you
-	to manually install the software in the `mcs' directory, as
-	the relevant files will be copied by the `mono' makefiles.
-
-* Software resources and notes
-
-		The required and additional software can be downloaded here:
-
-		* Microsoft's .NET Framework SDK from 
-		  <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads">
-		  msdn.microsoft.com/downloads</a>.
-
-		* Cygwin and the GNU Make tools from  
-		  <a href="http://www.cygwin.com">www.cygwin.com</a>.
-		  Some people observed problems with autoconf 2.52. Installing 
-		  autoconf 2.13 helped in those cases.

-* Contributing to the Mono project
-
-	Mono has not been completed yet.  It is a project under
-	active development and with a vibrant community.  If you are
-	looking at ways of helping the project, you have come to the
-	right web page. 
-
-	There are three different philosophical approaches to helping
-	the Mono project, the selfish way, the altruistic or the
-	educational way.
-
-	The <b>selfish</b> way is packed with adventure.  You start by
-	building your own software, and start using the compiler and
-	tools that come with Mono.  Eventually you will run into
-	missing features, or a bug in the software.  Since we ship all
-	the source code for Mono, you can start tracking down the
-	problem.  Depending on how much time you have to devote to the
-	problem you could: <a href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com">File a
-	bug report</a> (read <a href="#goodbugreport">this</a>); track
-	down the problem and provide a better
-	<a href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com">bug report</a>;  fix the
-	bug and provide a patch (you can <a
-	href="mailto:mono-list@ximian.com">post it</a> to the <a
-	href="http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list">mono
-	mailing list</a>;  or discuss the solution on the mailing
-	list.   Ideally you will also write a <a
-	href="testing.html">regression test</a> so the bug does not
-	get re-introduced in the future. 
-
-	The <b>altruistic</b> is probably the easiest because you get
-	to pick a piece of Mono that you might want to work on.  You
-	can pick an unfinished <a href="class-library.html">class</a> (from our <a
-	href="class-status.html">class status page</a>); help with the

-
-	The <b>educational</b> way is an interesting one, because you
-	pick a technology you are interested in, and work on that
-	technology to learn the technology.  
-
-	Those are just broad things that need to be worked on, but
-	something that would help tremendously would be to help with
-	small duties in the project that need to be addressed. 
-
-	You can see what needs to be done in the class libraries <a href="class-status.html">here</a>
-
-* IRC Channel
-
-	Many developers get together on the <b>#mono</b> irc channel
-	on the <b>irc.gnome.org</b> server.  
-
-** To start contributing
-
-	As a programmer, you can contribute in three different scenarios to Mono:
-
-	<ul>
-		* If you only have Linux/Unix.
-		* If you only have Windows.
-
-		* If you have both Linux and Windows.
-	</ul>
-
-	You might also want to check our <a href="#setup">common
-	setups</a> section that describes some common setups that people
-	use while working on Mono.
-
-*** Contributing to the class library, regression tests or the compiler
-
-	This only requires Windows currently.
-
-	To start developing classes or to contribute to the compiler,
-	you only need Windows and the .NET Framework 1.0 SDK.  Please notice
-	that you do not need Visual Studio (although you can use it if
-	you want).  The .NET Framework SDK requires some version of
-	Windows XP or Windows NT.  If you are running Windows 98, 95
-	or Me, you could use instead the <a
-	href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?url=/downloads/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/027/001/829/msdncompositedoc.xml">.NET Redist package</a>, but it
-	lacks the documentation browser and the ildasm program (C#, VB, JScript and IL 
-	assembler are included).
-
-	You can get it <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?url=/downloads/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/027/000/976/msdncompositedoc.xml&frame=true">here</a>
-
-	If you are new to .NET, writing regression tests is a good way
-	of starting to contribute: it will help you get used to C# as
-	well as getting comfortable with the .NET APIs.  
-
-	This helps because at this point you might be the best
-	qualified person to fix a problem found by the regression
-	test, or you might have a new class to implement in the .NET
-	world that only has a test suite.  
-	
-	To get started writing tests see the <a href="testing.html">Test Suite</a>
-	section. <a href="mono-contribution-howto.html">Here</a> there is a good All-In-One introduction to the art of writing tests.
-
-
-*** Contributing to the runtime engine
-
-	This only requires Linux, currently some tasks are easier if you
-	have access to Windows as well.
-
-	Here are a few things you can do:
-	<ul>
-		* Port the runtime to other architectures.
-		* Port the runtime to other operating systems.
-		* Finish the IL code verifier in the runtime.
-		* Hack the JIT, improve the code generator, add new
-		  pattern rules, improve the register allocator.
-		* Implement the debugging interfaaces
-	</ul>
-
-** Bug reporting
-
-	If you find bugs in Mono, please make sure you enter a bug
-	report so we can keep track of problems in Mono.
-
-	To enter bug reports go to <a href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com">
-	http://bugzilla.ximian.com</a> and enter bug reports against
-	your favorite component (Mono, Runtime, C# compiler).
-

-** How to make good bug reports
-
-	A mail from Paolo to mono-devel-list contained this check list:
-	<ol>
-		* Submit a test case, the smaller it is, the better
-
-		* Use <a href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com">
-		http://bugzilla.ximian.com</a> to report the bug.
-		
-		<p>In <b>addition</b> to bugzilla, posting to the list is
-		fine if the bug merits larger exposure or design
-		discussions to solve; posting to the list twice or more
-		is just a way to annoy people and make them waste time,
-		specially when you start a new thread about it.
-
-		* If the test involves libraries or assemblies that are
-		not part of mono, add info about where to download all
-		the dependencies, and how to compile/install them.
-
-		* If compiling the test case requires more than:
-		<pre> mcs test.cs </pre>
-		provide the <b>full command line</b> you used to compile
-		the test.
-
-		* If running the test requires more than:
-		<pre> mono test.exe </pre>
-		provide the <b>full command line</b> needed to replicate
-		the bug.

-		* Provide info about the version of the software you're
-		using (both mono and the operating system or relevant

-		
-		* Provide the actual output <b>you</b> get from the test case.

-	A good bug report complies with at least 6 items from the list.
-	If your bug report complies with 3 or less items, it is very
-	poor and it means it will take much more time to fix (when it's
-	not ignored).
-
-** Small tasks
-
-	A few smaller tasks are here, dropped in no particular order:
-	<ul>
-		* <b>Mono/doc and web site:</b> They need to be
-		  packaged up in the official `distribution'
-
-		* Adding serialization support to all the classes.
-
-		  We have many classes, but we have not implemented in
-		  many cases the serialization and re-incarnation support in 
-		  them (this is pretty straight forward code, and simple,
-	  	  but there is a lot to be done here).
-	</ul>
-
-* Emacs support

-* Common Setups
-
-	People running both Linux and Windows while contributing to
-	Mono use a number of tricks to increase their productivity.
-
-	Scenarios:
-
-	<ul>
-		* <b>Linux host and Windows host</b>
-
-		  The Windows file system is shared (right click on
-		  your hard drive icon, and select sharing, allow this
-		  to be shared).  
-
-		  The Windows machine has the required build tools
-		  (cygwin, and the .NET framework).  On the Windows
-		  machine, you want to setup the ssh server (run the
-		  ssh-host-config program to configure your ssh) and
-		  run it (from a cygwin terminal, type: /usr/sbin/sshd).
-
-		  From the Linux side, you want to mount the Windows
-		  file system, using something like this:
-
-<tt><pre>
-	mount -t smbfs -o uid=miguel,username="Miguel de Icaza" "//quack/c$" /mnt
-</pre></tt>
-
-		  In the above example, my Linux user name is
-		  `miguel', and this will allow this user to have
-		  read/write access to the share.  
-
-		  The host name is `quack', and the name of the share
-		  is `c$' (that is the C: partition).  
-
-		  The file system is accessible on /mnt.
-
-		  You can perform your cvs update and cvs commits from
-		  the /mnt directory, and run Emacs or your favorite
-		  Linux text editor on the Unix side in this way.
-
-		  Then from another terminal, you can ssh into your
-		  Windows box using ssh, like this: ssh "Miguel de Icaza@quack"
-	</ul>
-
-* Special Note
-
-	If you have looked at Microsoft's implementation of .NET or
-	their shared source code, you may not be able to contribute
-	to Mono.  Details will follow when we know more about this.
-
-	In general be careful when you are implementing free software
-	and you have access to proprietary code.  We need to make sure
-	that we are not using someone else's copyrighted code
-	accidentally. 
-
-	Please do not use the <b>ildasm</b> program to disassemble
-	proprietary code when you are planning to reimplement a class
-	for Mono.  If you have done this, we might not be able to use
-	your code.
-
-	Please stick to published documentation for implementing any
-	classes.

-* Cryptography
-
-	In the .NET framework cryptography can be found under a number of
-	namespaces in several assemblies.
-
-** Assembly: corlib
-
-*** Namespace: <b>System.Security.Cryptography</b>
-
-	Thanks to the work of many people this namespace is almost complete.
-
-**** Status
-	<ul>
-		* All classes are present.
-
-		* Most classes have their unit tests. Some tests like <code>
-		  SymmetricAlgorithmTest</code> are generated by external 
-		  tools.
-	</ul>
-
-**** TODO
-	<ul>
-		* Keypair persistance for RSA and DSA. This persistance must
-		  somehow be linked with X509 certificate stores (in planning).
-
-		* <code>PasswordDeriveBytes.CryptDeriveKey</code> is included 
-		  in MS BCL to provide compatibility with existing Windows 
-		  applications. The main problem is that the key derivation 
-		  algorithm can be different for every CSP (Crypto Service 
-		  Provider). However for compatibility we should provide an
-		  implementation compatible with the MS CSP (most likely used).
-	</ul>
-
-**** Notes
-	<ul>
-		* All cryptographic algorithms are entirely managed, including 
-		  classes named <code>*CryptoServiceProvider</code>, with the 
-		  exception of <code>RNGCryptoServiceProvider</code> for which 
-		  parts of the implementation resides in the runtime.
-
-		* There is a bug in the <code>PKCS1MaskGenerationMethod</code>
-		  class (in both framework 1.0 and 1.1). This means our 
-		  implementation isn't compatible with MS (but is compatible with
-		  PKCS#1 v.2.1). However we get OAEP padding for every platform!
-
-		* Look at assembly Mono.Security.Win32 if you require more
-		  compatiblity with the Microsoft implementation (like accessing
-		  a particuliar keypair container inside a specific CSP).
-	</ul>
-
-
-*** Namespace: <b>System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates</b>
-
-**** Status
-	<ul>
-		* X.509 certificates are parsed using 100% managed code 
-		  (using the Mono.Security.ASN1 class). 
-
-		* Software Publisher Certificates (SPC) used by Authenticode
-		  (tm) to sign assemblies are supported and <b>minimally</b>
-		  validated.
-
-		* Unit tests are generated from a set of existing certificates
-		  (about a dozen) each having different properties. Another
-		  set of certificates (more than 700) are used for a more 
-		  complete test (but isn't part of the standard test suite for 
-		  size and time consideration, i.e. a 7.5Mb C# source file).
-	</ul>
-
-**** Notes
-	<ul>
-		* Except for their structure <b>there are no validation of the
-		  certificates</b> done by this class (this is by design and 
-		  isn't a restriction of Mono!). This means that certificate 
-		  signatures and validity dates are <b>never</b> checked 
-		  (except when used for Authenticode, i.e. 
-		  <code>CreateFromSignedFile</code>).
-
-		* The newer X509Certificate class included in Microsoft's Web 
-		  Service Enhancement (WSE) is a little better (as it includes 
-		  CryptoAPI's validation) when <code>IsCurrent</code> is called.
-		  See assembly <b>Microsoft.Web.Services</b> for more details.
-
-		* The class Mono.Security.X509.X509Certificate (in Mono.Security 
-		  assembly) is becoming a much better alternative - and will 
-		  continue to evolve to support the security tools.
-
-		* Microsoft implementation of <code>X509Certificate</code> is 
-		  done by using CryptoAPI (unmanaged code). Based on the 
-		  exceptions thrown, Authenticode(tm) support is done via COM.

-** Assembly: Mono.Security
-
-	<b>Rational: </b>
-	This assembly provides the missing pieces to .NET security. On Windows
-	CryptoAPI is often used to provide much needed functionalities (like
-	some cryptographic algorithms, code signing, X.509 certificates). Mono,
-	for platform independance, implements these functionalities in 100% 
-	managed code.

-	</ul>
-*** Namespace: Mono.Security.Authenticode

-<hr>
-** Assembly: Mono.Security.Win32
-
-	<b>Rational: </b>
-	This assembly goal is to provide maximum compatibility with CryptoAPI
-	to application running with Mono's runtime on the Windows operating 
-	system.
-
-	<b>This assembly should NEVER be used directly by any application</b>
-	(e.g. referecing the assembly from a project).
-	The classes should only be used by modifying the <code>machine.config
-	</code> configuration file (and then only if this increased 
-	compatibility is required by an application).
-
-	See the file <code><a href="http://cvs.hispalinux.es/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/mcs/class/Mono.Security.Win32/README?rev=1.1&content-type=text/plain&cvsroot=mono">/mcs/class/Mono.Security.Win32/README</a></code>
-	for complete instructions.

-
-**** Status
-	<ul>
-		* A RNGCryptoServiceProvider built on top of CryptoAPI. This
-		  allows Windows users to get around the limitation of the 
-		  runtime RNG (which requires <code>/dev/[u]random/</code>).
-
-		* Wrapper classes for unmanaged versions of hash algorithms:
-		  MD2, MD4, MD5 and SHA1 are supported. <b>note</b>: some 
-		  algorithms shouldn't be used in new design (MD4 is broken, 
-		  MD2 and MD5 aren't considered safe for some usage). They are 
-		  included to preserve interoperability with older applications
-		  (e.g. some old, but still valid, X.509 certificates use MD2,
-		  MD4 is required for NTLM authentication ...).
-	</ul>
-
-**** TODO
-	<ul>
-		* Wrapper classes for unmanaged versions of symmetric 
-		  encryption algorithms (like DES, TripleDES, RC2 and others 
-		  present in default CSP).
-
-		* Wrapper classes for unmanaged versions of asymmetric 
-		  algorithms (like DSA and RSA) which persist their keypair 
-		  into the specified CSP.
-	</ul>
-
-**** Ideas
-	<ul>
-		* Similar assemblies (e.g. <code>Mono.Security.XXX</code>)

-
-	Microsoft Web Service Enhancement (WSE), known as Web Service 
-	Development Kit (WSDK) in it's beta days, is an add-on the .NET
-	framework that implements WS-Security (and other WS-* specifications).
-	It also includes improved support for XML Signature (replacing and/or
-	extending <code>System.Security.Cryptography.Xml</code>) and X.509
-	certificates classes.
-
-	Note: WSE is distributed as an add-on because some specifications,
- 	like WS-Security, aren't yet completed by 
-	<a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wss/">OASIS</a> or
-	other committees.
-
-*** Namespace: Microsoft.Web.Services.Security
-
-**** Status
-	<ul>
-		* Most WSE 1.0 classes are implemented.
-	</ul>

-** Tools
-
-	There are many tools in the .NET framework that indirectly interacts 
-	with some cryptographic classes. Mono will eventually need these tools.
-	Unless noted the tools should work on any CLR (tested with both Mono 
-	and Microsoft).
-
-**** Status
-
-	The following tools are complete (or mostly complete):
-	<ul>
-		* <code>secutil</code> is a tool to extract certificates and 
-		  strongnames from assemblies in a format that can be easily 
-		  re-used in source code (C# or VB.NET syntax).
-
-		* <code>cert2spc</code> is a tool to transform multiple X.509 
-		   certificates and CRLs into a Software Publisher Certificate
-		  (SPC) file - which is a long name for a simple PKCS#7 file.
-
-		* <code>makecert</code> to create X.509 test certificates that 
-		  can be used (once transformed in SPC) to sign assemblies. It's
-		  now possible to generate SSL certificates for web servers.
-
-		* <code>sn</code> is a clone of the <code>sn</code> to manage
-		  strongnames. Current version can create, convert, sign and
-		  verify strongnames signatures. Some configuration options 
-		  are still missing.
-
-		* <code>signcode</code> and <code>chktrust</code> for signing 
-		  and validating Authenticode(tm) signatures on assemblies (or 
-		  any PE file) are now working (signature and timestamps) but 
-		  some options aren't yet supported.
-	</ul>
-
-	Somewhat usable, somewhat incomplete:
-	<ul>
-		* <code>certview</code> is a certificate viewer for 
-		  <code>System.Windows.Forms</code> (right now only working on 
-		  Windows), while <code>gcertview</code> is the same viewer 
-		  implemented for GTK# (working on both Windows and Linux).
-
-		* <code>monosn</code> is a clone of the <code>sn</code> to manage
-		  strongnames. This tools is part of the runtime (not the class
-		  library) and as such is written in C and won't run without Mono.
-	</ul>
-
-
-**** TODO
-	The following tools are still missing or largely incomplete:
-	<ul>
-		* Other tools like a, GUI-based, certificate manager...
-	</ul>
-
-	Note that many of the tools requires the class library and/or the
-	runtime to be ready for them. E.g. StrongName and Authenticode signatures
-	tools are of limited use until supported by the runtime.

-* Developer FAQ
-
-** New classes
-
-Q: Should we write classes which are not part of the .NET or ECMA specs?
-
-A: Yes.  The ECMA and .NET specifications are far from complete, and
-   to produce a complete platform we will need a number of other
-   classes and components.
-
-   Any new classes that are not part of .NET or ECMA should be
-   designed to be reusable on anyone's CLI implementation.  So that
-   Windows developers can also use any new classes that we come up
-   with.
-
-   We have a few existing <a href="ideas.html">Ideas on missing
-   classes</a> 
-
-** Language Compatibility
-
-Q: What is the magic that allow multiple languages to co-exist?
-
-A: From Fergus Henderson:
-
-<i><blockquote>
-There are different levels of interoperability.
-The ECMA spec defines different categories of
-CLS (Common Language Specification) conformance.
-There are also some useful categories that don't
-correspond to any of the levels defined in the ECMA spec.
-In increasing degree of difficulty, your language implementation
-can
-
-	<ul>
-	* (a) just generate IL
-
-	* (b) be a CLS "consumer", which means that it can read in
-	  meta-data describing component interfaces,
-	  and that it provides a way to declare variables of
-	  CLS-complaint types and to call CLS-complaint methods.
-
-	* (c) be a CLS "extender", which means that it can in addition
-	  derive from CLS-compliant classes
-	  and implement CLS-compliant interfaces
-
-	* (d) be able to produce components with *any* CLS-compliant
-	component interface.
-	</ul>
-
-Supporting some of these may require extending your language.  However,
-you can get quite a lot of interoperability by just putting appropriate
-functionality in your compiler, without extending your language.
-
-For some things, e.g. ASP.NET, your language implementation also needs to be
-able to
-
-	<ul>
-	* (e) consume CodeDom trees.  CodeDom trees are an abstract
-	representation of programs in a form similar to a C# parse
-	tree, with embedded code snippets (unparsed strings).
-	Given a CodeDom tree, with the snippets in your language,
-	your language implementation needs to generate a (i) .NET
-	assembly and possibly also (ii) a source file in your language.
-
-	* (f) produce CodeDom trees.  For some applications,
-	your language implementation also needs to be able to
-	round-trip from CodeDom -> your language -> CodeDom.
-	</ul>
-
-and for some things it needs to
-
-	<ul>
-	* (g) generate *verifiable* IL
-	</ul>
-
-So when you hear all the hype about how language XYZ is a
-".NET language", make sure you ask which of these different
-things are supported.
-
-[For the record, Mercury currently supports (a).  We're working on
-(b) and (g), and on parts of (c) and (e).  We're never going to do (f), I very
-strongly doubt we'll ever do (d), and for (c) we might only ever support
-implementing interfaces, not deriving from classes.]
-
-</blockquote></i>
-
-** PInvoke 
-
-Q: What are the two major initiatives to implement PInvoke?
-
-A: Fergus Henderson answers:
-
-<i><blockquote>
-Many of the .NET APIs will need to be implemented using code that calls C/Unix
-APIs, such as stat().  The standard way of interfacing with native code from
-.NET code is to use "PInvoke".  However, there is a difficulty: many of
-these APIs are defined in terms of types such as C's `long' or `size_t'
-or the Posix `struct stat' whose representation varies depending on the
-platform (architecture/OS/C compiler).  There's no *portable* way of
-accessing those from .NET managed code.
-
-So, there are a couple of different approaches.
-One possibility is to access such routines by writing a wrapper, e.g. in C,
-that provides the same functionality without using types with a system-dependent
-representation.  The wrapper can then be directly accessed from portable
-.NET code.  The .NET code remains both source- and binary-portable;
-the wrapper code is source-portable, but needs to be compiled
-seperately for each target platform.  The drawback of this approach is
-that you have to write a lot of cumbersome wrapper code.
-
-Another possibility is to extend the .NET VM with support for an
-additional custom attribute, e.g. "[PosixType]".  The VM would then
-represent types tagged with this attribute in the same way that the
-underlying system represents those types.  With this approach, no
-wrapper code would be needed.  A drawback of this approach is that it
-pushes quite a bit of complexity into the VM; the VM would have to know
-the native representation of all types annotated with this attribute.
-Another drawback is that code using this extension might not work on
-different VMs.
-
-There have also been some other suggestions, but those are the two that
-I think are the best.
-</blockquote></i>
-
-Q: What is the problem implementing PInvoke?
-
-A: Again, from Fergus Henderson:
-
-<i><blockquote>
-There's no problem implementing PInvoke as specified in the ECMA
-specs and/or MS documentation.  It's just that PInvoke by itself
-doesn't solve all of the problems; in particular it doesn't solve
-the problem of C types whose representation is different on different
-systems.
-</blockquote></i>
-
-** CVS use
-
-Q: Why do we keep ChangeLogs and make the CVS commit messages be the
-   same?  One could be generated from the other
-
-A: There are a number of reasons for keeping ChangeLog files as well as
-   CVS commit files:
-
-   <ul>
-	* Offline programming: when people are traveling, CVS logs are
-          not available.
-
-	* Slow CVS access: Many people work over modem lines (very
-          typical for contributors in Europe, Asia, Latin America)
-          using CVS is slow and might not be available to you (cvs
-          server down, no anoncvs server available).
-
-	* ChangeLogs travel in a released tarball package, so it is
-	  possible to study the rationale of changes even after a
-	  project is long "released", or you only have the sources for
-	  the code. 
-
-	* ChangeLog are not metadata for each file, they are live
-          files that you can browse in the package that is being
-          distributed. 
-   </ul>
-
-Making the CVS commit message be the same as the ChangeLog has other
-benefits:
-
-   <ul>
-	* You can track down with `cvs log' what things were changed,
-          and match those to meaningful reports on the intentions of

-Q: Should I use any of the special RCS keywords like $Id: devel-faq,v 1.1 2001/07/31 21:13:05 miguel Exp $, $Author: miguel $,
-   $Date: 2001/07/31 21:13:05 $, or $Revision: 1.1 $?
-
-A: Please avoid using those in the source code in the CVS.  They
-   are not really useful, and they cause a lot of conflicts when
-   people have separate CVS trees.
-
-   It was a nightmare with the Linux kernel when two people had their
-   private CVS trees and were submitting patches to the core.

-* Documentation
-
-	Although most of the concepts from Microsoft.NET can
-	be applied to the completed Mono platform, we do need to
-	have a complete set of free documentation written specifically
-	for Mono.
-
-	The documentation license we have chosen is the GNU Free
-	Documentation License (FDL), the standard for most documents
-	in the free software world. 
-
-	We need documentation on a number of topics:
-
-	<ul>
-
-		* The development tools (compilers, assembler tools,
-		  language reference, design time features): these
-	          live in the `monodoc' CVS module.
-
-		* Frequently Asked Question compilations.
-
-		* HOWTO documents.
-
-		* The Class Libraries (Both the original .NET class
-	 	  libraries as well as the class libraries produced by
-		  the project).
-
-		* Tutorials on Mono and the specifics of running it
-		  (The <a href="http://www.monohispano.org">Mono
-		  Hispano</a> team has produced lots of <a
-		  href="http://www.monohispano.org/tutoriales.php">tutorials
-		  in spanish</a>
-
-		* A guide to Mono as compared to the Microsoft.NET
-		  Framework SDK
-
-	</ul>
-
-* Class Library documentation
-
-	We are moving to a new setup for documenting the class libraries, 
-	and you can read about it <a href="classlib-doc.html">here</a>.
-
-	There are two classes of documentation: free documentation for
-	existing .NET classes and documentation for the classes that
-	we have developed on top of .NET.
-
-	There is a large body of documentation that came from the ECMA
-	standarization effort that has been checked into CVS.  It does
-	not contain everything Mono and .NET have, so they need to be
-	updated and augmented.
-
-** Gtk# documentation
-
-	We also have a large body of class libraries that are specific
-	to Mono, for example the documentation for Gtk#.  
-
-	We have checked in stub documentation for Gtk# into the CVS
-	repository (on gtk-sharp/doc) and we need volunteers to help
-	populate the documentation for it.  Since Gtk# is a wrapper
-	for Gtk, plenty of documentation exists in the <a
-	href="http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API">Gnome developer
-	site</a>.
-
-	To get started:
-
-	You need to download Gtk# from the CVS repository.  The module
-        name is `gtk-sharp'.  You can obtain a copy from both the CVS
-        repository or the anonymous CVS repository.
-
-        To pull your copy type:
-
-<pre>
-        	cvs co gtk-sharp
-</pre>
-        Documentation lives in gtk-sharp/doc/en.  The "en" indicates the
-        English language, the first one we are targeting.  We can later
-        do translations, but for now we are focusing on a single
-        language.
-
-        In that directory you will find the documentation organized by
-        namespaces.  One directory per namespace.  In the directories
-        you will find one XML file per class that needs to be
-        documented.  The mission is to fill in the data with useful
-        information.  Feel free to grab liberally information from the
-        Gtk documentation from:
-
-       	<a href="http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/">http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/</a>
-
-        Of course, the API does not apply directly.  It only applies at
-        a foundational level, so you can not really just copy and
-        paste.  Summaries, and remarks sections can probably be lifted
-        with little or no effort.
-
-        Gtk# uses properties to represent get/set operations in the C
-        API, so you can also use some bits from there.
-
-        Most of the documentation contains already place holders for
-        text, we use the internationally approved phrase for this
-        purpose, `To be added'.  So the quest is to remove all of the
-        "To be added" strings with information with resembles as closely
-        as possible the toolkit reality.
-
-*** The pieces to be filled.
-
-        Summaries are one or two line descriptions of the element
-        (class, struct, interface, method, field, event, delegate), and
-        its used to render summary pages.  So it has to be short.
-        
-        The "remarks" section is used to describe in detail the element.
-
-**** Tags.
-        
-        As you document Gtk# you will have a number of tags that you can
-        use inside the summary and remarks sections, these are:
-
-<pre>        
-&lt;para&gt; &lt;/para&gt;
-</pre>
-        	Used to separate paragraphs.
-      
-<pre>  
-&lt;paramref name="param_name"/&gt;
-</pre>
-        	Used to reference a formal parameter to a function.
-
-<pre>  
-&lt;see cref="T:SomeTypeName"/&gt;
-</pre>
-        	Use this to reference a type, this will include an hyper
-        	link to the page for type SomeTypeName.
-
-        	For example, to reference "System.Enum", do:
-        
-<pre>
-	&lt;see cref="T:System.Enum"/&gt;
-</pre>
-
-<pre>
-&lt;see cref="P:SomeTypeName.Property"/&gt;
-</pre>
-        	Use this to reference a property, this will include an hyper
-        	link to the page for the property `Property' of type `SomeTypeName'.
-
-        	For example, to reference the BaseType property in System.Type, do:
-        
-<pre>
-	&lt;see cref="P:System.Type.BaseType"/&gt;
-</pre>
-
-<pre>
-&lt;see cref="M:SomeTypeName.Method(type,type)"/&gt;
-</pre>
-        	Use this to reference a method, this will include an hyper
-        	link to the page for the method `Method' of type `SomeTypeName'.
-        
-        	For example, to reference the ToString method in System.Object, do:
-        
-<pre>
-	&lt;see cref="M:System.Object.ToString()"/&gt;
-</pre>
-        
-<pre>
-&lt;see langword="keyword"/&gt;
-</pre>
-        	Use this to link to a keyword in the C# language, for
-        	example to link to `true', do:
-
-<pre>
-	&lt;see langword="true"/&gt;
-</pre>
-        
-<pre>
-&lt;example&gt; ... &lt;/example&gt;
-</pre>        
-        	Use example to insert an example.  The example can 
-        	contain explanatory text and code.
-        
-<pre>
-&lt;code lang="C#"&gt;.. &lt;/code&gt;
-</pre>
-        
-        	Use this to provide a sample C# program, typically used
-        	within the &lt;example&gt; tags.
-
-        	When providing examples, try to provide a full example,
-        	we would like to be able to have a button to compile and
-        	run samples embedded into the documentation, or pop up
-        	an editor to let the user play with the sample.
-
-        	You can link to an example like this:
-
-<pre>
-	&lt;code lang="C#" source="file.cs"&gt; &lt;/code&gt;
-</pre>
-
-<pre>
-&lt;item&gt;
-</pre>
-        	
-<pre>
-&lt;list type="bullet"&gt;  &lt;/list&gt;
-</pre>
-        
-        	Use this to create lists.  Lists contains &lt;item&gt;
-        	elements which have to contain &lt;term&gt; containers.
-        
-<pre>
-&lt;list type="table"&gt; &lt;/lits&gt;
-            &lt;listheader&gt;
-              &lt;term&gt;YOUR FIRST COLUMN&lt;/term&gt;
-              &lt;description&gt;YOUR DESCRIPTION&lt;/description&gt;
-            &lt;/listheader&gt;
-</pre>
-        	For two-column tables.  Inside use:
-        
-<pre>
-&lt;item&gt;
-	&lt;term&gt;First&lt;/term&gt;
-	&lt;description&gt;First descritpion&lt;/description&gt;
-&lt;/item&gt;
-&lt;item&gt;
-	&lt;term&gt;Second&lt;/term&gt;
-	&lt;description&gt;Second descirption&lt;/description&gt;
-&lt;/item&gt;
-</pre>
-
-** Words of warning.
-
-        A few words of warning and advice for class documentors:
-
-        A well-documented API can ease hours of frustration; as Mono
-        matures, robust and complete class library documentation will
-        become increasingly important.  As you write API documentation,
-        whether it is embedded in source files or in external Monodoc XML,
-        please keep the following in mind:
-
-        Plagarism, even if it's unintentional, is a Bad Thing(TM).
-        Microsoft's .NET Framework Class Library documentation is an
-        excellent resource for understanding the behavior and properties of
-        a type, and a lot of hard work went in to creating this (copyrighted)
-        resource.  Please don't copy from Microsoft's reference when
-        documenting a type.
-
-        To avoid this, I (<a href="mailto:jbarn@httcb.net">jbarn@httcb.net</a>)
-        suggest that you read the complete Microsoft documentation for a type,
-        ponder it for a while, and write the Mono documentation in your own
-        words.  While it's certainly okay to refer to the Microsoft
-        documentation to clarify your understanding of behavior or properties,
-        please don't open the Microsoft docs and refer to them for each member
-        you document.
-
-        There's a lot of domain expertise among the class library contributors;
-        let's put the same personal stamp on the class library documentation
-        that we have on the class libraries themselves.

-* Drawing
-
-	Mono provides two mechanism to draw.  The first exposes the
-	Microsoft System.Drawing API and the second exposes the <a
-	href="http://www.cairographics.org">Cairo</a> API.
-
-* System.Drawing
-
-	The System.Drawing implementation in Mono is designed to be
-	compatible with the Microsoft API.  The imaging model is very
-	similar to the PDF 1.4 composition-based imaging model.
-
-	Our implementation is a C# wrapper around the GDI+ C API (also
-	called the <a
-	href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdicpp/GDIPlus/GDIPlusReference.asp">"GDI+
-	Flat API"</a>).
-
-	This means that the C# code is the same for Windows and Unix
-	systems.  The following graph explains the situation:
-
-	<center>
-	<img src="images/system-drawing.png">
-	</center>
-
-	In Windows Mono uses the GDI+ library that is included with
-	the operating system (<tt>GDIPLUS.DLL</tt>, while in Unix we
-	provide an implementation of this API in the
-	<tt>libgdiplus.so</tt> shared library.  Our
-	<tt>libgdiplus.so</tt> has the same C Flat API as the
-	<tt>GDIPLUS.DLL</tt>.  Our implementation uses Cairo to do
-	the heavy lifting.
-
-	The implementation of GDI+ lives in mcs/class/System.Drawing
-	in the gdiplus directory and requires <a
-	href="http://www.cairographics.org">Cairo</a> to be installed
-	to get the package built.
-
-	The C# code that implement System.Drawing is the same for
-	Windows and Unix builds.
-
-	Since this is an implementation of an existing Microsoft API
-	no architectural changes go here.
-
-* Mono.Cairo
-
-	The Mono.Cairo.dll assembly exposes the Cairo API to managed
-	applications.  The mapping is a pretty straightforward one,
-	and the programming model is very close to the C API.
-
-	This API is still unstable due to the nature of the underlying
-	API being used and will be revisited as Cairo evolves.

-* Embedding the Mono runtime, preliminary version
-
-	This document describes how to embed the Mono runtime in your
-	application, and how to invoke CIL methods from C, and how to
-	invoke C code from CIL
-
-	Slides for Paolo's presentation at .NET ONE on the embedding
-	API are available here: <a
-	href="http://primates.ximian.com/~lupus/slides/embed">Hosting the Mono
-	Runtime</a>.  You can also get his <a
-	href="http://primates.ximian.com/~lupus/slides/embed/Mono-0.01.tar.gz">sample
-	Mono module for Perl</a>
-
-	Authors: Paolo Molaro, Miguel de Icaza.
-
-* Embedding the runtime.
-
-	Embedding the runtime consists of various steps: 
-
-	<ul>
-		* Compiling and linking the Mono runtime
-
-		* Initializing the Mono runtime
-
-		* Optionally expose C code to the C#/CIL universe.
-
-	</ul>
-
-	These are discussed in detail next.
-
-** Compiling and Linking
-
-	To embed the runtime, you have to link your code against the
-	Mono runtime libraries.  To do this, you want to pass the
-	flags returned by pkg-config to your compiler:
-
-	<pre>
-		pkg-config --cflags --libs mono
-	</pre>
-
-	Like this:
-
-	<pre>
-		gcc sample.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs mono`
-	</pre>
-
-	You can separate the compilation flags from the linking flags, for 
-	instance, you can use the following macros in your makefile:
-
-	<pre>
-		CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags mono`
-		LDFLAGS=`pkg-config --libs mono`
-	</pre>
-
-** Initializing the Mono runtime
-
-	To initialize the runtime, call mono_jit_init, like this:
-
-	<pre>
-		MonoDomain *domain;
-
-		domain = mono_jit_init ("domain-name");
-	</pre>
-
-	That will return a MonoDomain where your code will be
-	executed.  You can create multiple domains.  Each domain is
-	isolated from the other domains and code in one domain will
-	not interfere with code in other domains.  This is useful if
-	you want to host different applications in your program.  
-
-	Now, it is necessary to transfer control to Mono, and setup
-	the threading infrastructure, you do this like this:
-
-	<pre>
-		void *user_data = NULL;
-
-		mono_runtime_exec_managed_code (domain, main_thread_handler, user_data);
-	</pre>
-
-	Where your main_thread_handler can load your assembly and execute it:
-
-	<pre>
-	static void main_thread_handler (gpointer user_data)
-	{	
-		MonoAssembly *assembly;
-
-		assembly = mono_domain_assembly_open (domain, "file.dll");
-		if (!assembly)
-			error ();
-	</pre>
-
-	In the above example, the contents of `file.dll' will be
-	loaded into the domain.  This only loads the code, but it will
-	not execute anything yet.  You can replace `file.dll' with
-	another transport file, like `file.exe'
-
-	To start executing code, you must invoke a method in the
-	assembly, or if you have provided a static Main method (an
-	entry point), you can use the convenience function:
-
-	<pre>
-		retval = mono_jit_exec (domain, assembly, argc - 1, argv + 1);
-	</pre>
-
-	If you want to invoke a different method, look at the
-	`Invoking Methods in the CIL universe' section later on.
-
-** Shutting down the runtime
-
-	To shutdown the Mono runtime, you have to clean up all the
-	domains that were created, use this function:
-
-	<pre>
-		mono_jit_cleanup (domain);
-	</pre>
-
-** Applications that use threads.
-
-	The Boehm GC system needs to catch your calls to the pthreads
-	layer, so in each file where you use pthread.h you should
-	include the &lt;gc/gc.h&gt; file.  
-
-	If you can not do this for any reasons, just remember that you
-	can not store pointers to Mono Objects on the stack, you can
-	store them safely in the heap, or in global variables though
-
-* Exposing C code to the CIL universe
-
-	The Mono runtime provides two mechanisms to expose C code to
-	the CIL universe: internal calls and native C code.   Internal
-	calls are tightly integrated with the runtime, and have the
-	least overhead, as they use the same data types that the
-	runtime uses.
-
-	The other option is to use the Platform Invoke (P/Invoke) to
-	call C code from the CIL universe, using the standard P/Invoke
-	mechanisms.
-
-	To register an internal call, use this call in the C code:
-
-	<pre>
-	mono_add_internal_call ("Hello::Sample", sample);
-	</pre>
-
-	Now, you need to declare this on the C# side:
-
-	<pre>
-		using System;
-		using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
-	</pre>
-
-
-	<pre>
-	class Hello {
-		[MethodImplAttribute(MethodImplOptions.InternalCall)]
-		extern static string Sample ();
-	}
-	</pre>
-
-	Since this routine returns a string, here is the C definition:
-
-	<pre>
-		static MonoString*
-		Sample () 
-		{
-			return mono_string_new (mono_domain_get (), "Hello!");
-		}
-	</pre>
-
-	Notice that we have to return a `MonoString', and we use the
-	`mono_string_new' API call to obtain this from a string.
-
-* Invoking Methods in the CIL universe
-
-	Calling a method in the CIL universe from C requires a number of steps:
-
-	<ul>
-		* Obtaining the MonoMethod handle to the method.
-
-		* The method invocation.
-	</ul>
-
-** Obtaining a MonoMethod
-
-	To get a MonoMethod there are several ways.
-
-	You can get a MonoClass (the structure representing a type)
-	using:
-
-	<pre>
-	MonoClass *
-	mono_class_from_name (MonoImage *image, const char* name_space, const char *name);
-	</pre>
-
-	and then loop in the returned class method array until you get
-	the one you're looking for. There are examples of such
-	searches as static functions in several C files in
-	metadata/*.c: we need to expose one through the API and remove
-	the duplicates.
-
-	The other, simpler, way is to use the functions in
-	debug-helpers.h: there are examples of their use in monograph,
-	mint and the jit as well.  You basically use a string
-	description of the method, like:
-	
-	<pre>
-	        "System.Object:GetHashCode()"
-	</pre>
-	
-	and create a MonoMethodDesc out of it with:
-	
-	<pre>
-	MonoMethodDesc* mono_method_desc_new (const char *name, gboolean include_namespace);
-	</pre>
-	
-	You can then use:
-	
-	<pre>
-	MonoMethod*     mono_method_desc_search_in_class (MonoMethodDesc *desc, MonoClass *klass);
-	MonoMethod*     mono_method_desc_search_in_image (MonoMethodDesc *desc, MonoImage *image);
-	</pre>
-	
-	to search for the method in a class or in an image.  You would
-	tipically do this just once at the start of the program and
-	store the result for reuse somewhere.
-			
-** Invoking a Method
-
-	There are two functions to call a managed method:
-	
-	<pre>
-	MonoObject*
-	mono_runtime_invoke         (MonoMethod *method, void *obj, void **params,
-	                             MonoObject **exc);
-	and
-	MonoObject*
-	mono_runtime_invoke_array   (MonoMethod *method, void *obj, MonoArray *params,
-	                             MonoObject **exc);
-	</pre>
-	
-	obj is the 'this' pointer, it should be NULL for static
-	methods, a MonoObject* for object instances and a pointer to
-	the value type for value types.
-
-	The params array contains the arguments to the method with the
-	same convention: MonoObject* pointers for object instances and
-	pointers to the value type otherwise. The _invoke_array
-	variant takes a C# object[] as the params argument (MonoArray
-	*params): in this case the value types are boxed inside the
-	respective reference representation.
-	
-	From unmanaged code you'll usually use the
-	mono_runtime_invoke() variant.
-
-	Note that this function doesn't handle virtual methods for
-	you, it will exec the exact method you pass: we still need to
-	expose a function to lookup the derived class implementation
-	of a virtual method (there are examples of this in the code,
-	though).
-
-	You can pass NULL as the exc argument if you don't want to
-	catch exceptions, otherwise, *exc will be set to the exception
-	thrown, if any.  if an exception is thrown, you can't use the
-	MonoObject* result from the function.
-
-	If the method returns a value type, it is boxed in an object
-	reference.
-	
-	We have plans for providing an additional method that returns
-	an unmanaged->managed thunk like this:
-	
-	<pre>
-	void* mono_method_get_unmanaged_thunk (MonoMethod *method);
-	</pre>
-	
-	You'll be able to store the returned pointer in a function
-	pointer with the proper signature and call that directly from
-	C:
-	
-	<pre>
-	typedef gint32 (*GetHashCode) (MonoObject *obj);
-	
-	GetHashCode func = mono_method_get_unmanaged_thunk (System_Object_GetHashCode_method);
-	
-	gint32 hashvalue = func (myobject);
-	</pre>
-	
-	It may not be possible to manage exceptions in that case,
-	though. I need to think more about it.
-
-** Threading issues
-
-	If your application creates threads on its own, and you want them to 
-	be able to call code into the CIL universe with Mono, you have to
-	register the thread with Mono before issuing the call.
-
-	To do so, call the mono_thread_attach() function before you execute
-	any managed code from the thread
-
-* Samples
-
-	See the sample programs in mono/sample/embed for examples of
-	embedding the Mono runtime in your application.

-Q: What is Mono exactly?
-
-A: The Mono Project is an open development initiative sponsored by
-   Ximian that is working to develop an open source, Unix
-   version of the Microsoft .NET development platform.  Its objective
-   is to enable Unix developers to build and
-   deploy cross-platform .NET Applications.  The project will
-   implement various technologies developed by Microsoft that have now
-   been submitted to the ECMA for standardization.
-
-   The Mono project has also sparked a lot of interest in developing
-   C#-based components, libraries and frameworks.  Today Mono is not
-   limited to implement the .NET Framework, but also contains other
-   components.  Some of the components of the Mono platform were
-   developed by the Mono team, and some others we have incorporated
-   from other open source efforts, the most important ones:
-
-   <ul>
-	<li><a
-    	href="http://remoting-corba.sourceforge.net/">Remoting.CORBA</a>: A
-	CORBA implementation for Mono.
-
-	<li>Ginzu: An implementation on top of Remoting for the <a
-	href="http://www.zeroc.com">ICE</a> stack
-
-	<li><a href="http://gtk-sharp.sf.net">Gtk#</a>: Bindings for
-   	the popular Gtk+ GUI toolkit for Unix and Windows systems.
-	Other bindings are available: Diacanvas-Sharp and MrProject.
-
-	<li><a
-	href="http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/Default.aspx">#ZipLib</a>:
-	A library to manipulate various kinds of compressed files and
-	archives (Zip and tar).
-
-	<li>GlGen (available from the Mono CVS): Bindings for OpenGL.
-
-	<li>Mono.LDAP: LDAP access for .NET apps.
-
-	<li>Mono.Data: We ship support for Postgress, MySql, Sybase,
-	DB2, SqlLite, Tds (SQL server protocol) and Oracle databases. 
-
-	<li>Mono.Cairo: Bindings for the <a
-	href="http://www.cairographics.org">Cairo</a> rendering
-	engine (Our System.Drawing is implemented on top of this).
-
-	<li>Mono.Posix: Bindings for building POSIX applications using
-	C#. 
-
-	<li>Mono.Http: Support for creating custom, embedded HTTP
-	servers and common HTTP handlers for your applications.
-   </ul>
-
-Q: What is the difference between Mono and the .NET Initiative?
-
-A: The ".NET Initiative" is a somewhat nebulous company-wide effort by
-   Microsoft, one part of which is a cross-platform development
-   framework.  Mono is an implementation of the development framework,
-   but not an implementation of anything else related to the .NET
-   Initiative, such as Passport or software-as-a-service.
-
-Q: What technologies are included in Mono?
-
-A: Mono contains a number of components useful for building new
-   software:
-
-	<ul>
-		* A Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) virtual
-		  machine that contains a class loader, Just-in-time
-		  compiler, and a garbage collecting runtime.
-
-		* A class library that can work with any language
-		  which works on the CLR.  Both .NET compatible class
-		  libraries as well as Mono-provided class libraries
-		  are included.
-
-		* A compiler for the C# language.  In the future we
-		  might work on other compilers that target the Common
-		  Language Runtime.
-	</ul>
-
-
-   Windows has compilers that target the virtual machine from <a
-   href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/net/thirdparty/default.asp#lang">a
-   number of languages:</a> Managed C++, Java Script, Eiffel,
-   Component Pascal, APL, Cobol, Perl, Python, Scheme,
-   Smalltalk, Standard ML, Haskell, Mercury and Oberon.
-
-   The CLR and the Common Type System (CTS) enables applications and
-   libraries to be written in a collection of different languages that
-   target the byte code
-
-   This means for example that if you define a class to do algebraic
-   manipulation in C#, that class can be reused from any other
-   language that supports the CLI.  You could create a class in C#,
-   subclass it in C++ and instantiate it in an Eiffel program. 
-
-   A single object system, threading system, class libraries, and
-   garbage collection system can be shared across all these languages.
-   
-Q: Where can I find the specification for these technologies?
-
-A: You can find the information here:
- 
-
-   C# <a href="http://www.ecma.ch/ecma1/STAND/ecma-334.htm">http://www.ecma.ch/ecma1/STAND/ecma-334.htm</a>
-
-   CLI <a href="http://www.ecma.ch/ecma1/STAND/ecma-335.htm">http://www.ecma.ch/ecma1/STAND/ecma-335.htm</a>
-
-Q: Will you implement the .NET Framework SDK class libraries?
-
-A: Yes, we will be implementing the APIs of the .NET Framework SDK
-   class libraries. 
-
-Q: Will you offer an ECMA-compliant set of class libraries?
-
-A: Eventually we will.  Our current focus is on inter-operating
-   with the Microsoft SDK, but we will also offer an ECMA compliant
-   subset of the libraries. 
-
-Q: What does the name "Mono" mean?
-
-A: Mono is the word for `monkey' in Spanish. We like monkeys.  
-
-Q: Does Mono work today?
-
-A: The execution engine works on various platforms, we support
-   Just-in-Time and Ahead-of-Time compilations on Intel x86 machines
-   (and soon PowerPC).
-
-   The class libraries are mature enough to run various real
-   applications: our C# compiler, ASP.NET, and Gtk#-based
-   applications.
-
-Q: When will you ship Mono?
-
-A: Please see the <a href="mono-roadmap.html">Mono Roadmap</a> for
-   more details on the release plans.  
-
-Q: How can I contribute?
-
-A: Check the <a href="contributing.html">contributing</a> section. 
-
-Q: Aren't you just copying someone else's work?
-
-A: We are interested in providing the best tools for programmers to
-   develop applications for Free Operating Systems.  We also want to help
-   provide the interoperability that will allow those systems to fit in
-   with other standards.

-
-** The Novell Role in the Mono Project
-
-Q: Why is Novell working on .NET?
-
-A: Novell is interested in providing the best tools for programmers to
-   develop applications for Free Operating Systems.
-
-   For more information, read the project <a
-   href="rationale.html">rationale</a> page.
-
-Q: Will Novell be able to take on a project of this size?  
-
-A: Of course not.  Novell is a supporter of the Mono project, but the only way
-   to implement something of this size is for the entire free software
-   community to get involved. Visit the <a href="contributing.html">contributing</a> 
-   page if you'd like to help out.
-
-Q: What pieces Novell be working on?
-
-A: We will devote most of our resources to work on the pieces which are
-   on the critical path to release a development and execution
-   environment. Once the project is at a stage where it is useful in
-   the real world, it will achieve a critical mass of developers to
-   improve it further.
-
-Q: Will Novell offer Mono commercially?
-
-A: When Mono is ready to be shipped Ximian will offer a commercial
-   support and services for Mono. Mono components are also
-   available to be licensed commercially. For licensing details,
-   contact <a
-   href="mailto:mono-licensing@ximian.com">mono-licensing@ximian.com</a>
-
-Q: Does Novell provide consulting services around Mono?
-
-A: Yes, Novell does provide consulting services around Mono to
-   make it suitable to your needs.  Porting the runtime engine,
-   customizing it, working on specific classes or tuning the code
-   for your particular needs. 
-
-   Please contact <a
-   href="mailto:mono-licensing@ximian.com">mono-licensing@ximian.com</a>
-   for consulting services information.
-
-Q: Will you wait until Mono is finished?
-
-A: Mono will ship on various stages as they mature.  Some people
-   require only a subset of the technologies, those will ship first,
-   see the <a href="mono-roadmap.html">Mono Roadmap</a> for details

-** Mono and GNOME
-
-Q: How is Mono related to GNOME?
-
-A: In a number of ways.  This project was born out of the need of
-   providing improved tools for the GNOME community, and will use
-   existing components that have been developed for GNOME when they
-   are available.  For example, we plan to use Gtk+ and Libart to
-   implement Winforms and the Drawing2D API and are considering
-   GObject support.
-
-   Mono team members work actively on the <a
-   href="http://gtk-sharp.sf.net">Gtk#</a> project: a binding of the
-   GNOME class libraries for .NET and Mono.
-
-Q: Has the GNOME Foundation or the GNOME team adopted Mono?
-
-A: Mono is too new to be adopted by those groups. We hope that the
-   tools that we will provide will be adopted by free software
-   programmers including the GNOME Foundation members and the GNOME
-   project generally.
-
-Q: Should GNOME programmers switch over to Mono now?
-
-A: It is still far to early for discussions of "switching over."  No
-   pieces of Mono will be ready within the next six months, and a
-   complete implementation is roughly one year away.
-
-   We encourage GNOME developers to continue using the existing tools,
-   libraries and components.  Improvements made to GNOME will have an
-   impact on Mono, as they would be the "back-end" for various classes.
-
-Q: Will Mono include compatibility with Bonobo components? What is the
-   relationship between Mono and Bonobo?
-
-A: Yes, we will provide a set of classes for implementing and using
-   Bonobo components from within Mono.  Mono should allow you to write
-   Bonobo components more easily, just like .NET on Windows allows you
-   to export .NET components to COM.
-
-Q: Does Mono depend on GNOME?
-
-A: No, Mono does not depend on GNOME.  We use a few packages produced by
-   the GNOME team like the `glib' library, we also use other
-   third-party open source libraries like Cairo and ICU.
-
-Q: But will I be able to build GNOME applications?
-
-A: Yes, we will enable people to write GNOME applications using Mono.
-
-Q: Do you have C# bindings for GNOME?.
-
-A: Yes, the <a href="http://gtk-sharp.sf.net">Gtk# project</a>
-   provides bindings for Gtk+, Gdk, Atk, libgnome, libgnomecanvas, and
-   libgnomeui.  Other libraries under the GNOME framework will be
-   added on an as-needed (and as-requested) basis.
-
-<a name="gui"></a>
-** GUI applications
-
-Q: Will Mono enable GUI applications to be authored?
-
-A: Yes, you will be able to build GUI applications.  Indeed, that is
-   our main focus.  Today you can use Gtk# or #WT to develop GUI
-   applications, and support for Windows.Forms is underway.
-
-Q: What is the difference between Gtk# and System.Windows.Forms?
-
-A: Gtk# is a set of bindings for the Gtk+ toolkit for C# (and other
-   CIL-enabled languages), it integrates natively with the Gnome
-   desktop.  System.Windows.Forms is an API defined by Microsoft to
-   build GUI applications.
-
-   Windows.Forms is currently being implemented on top of a modified
-   version of Wine that can be used as a library: WineLib.
-
-Q: Why not implement System.Windows.Forms on top of Gtk# or Qt#?
-
-A: Compatibility.
-
-   Although it is possible to run simple Windows.Forms applications
-   with the Gtk#-based backend of Windows.Forms, it is very unlikely
-   that the implementation will ever implement everything needed for
-   full compatibility with Windows.Forms.
-
-   The reason is that Windows.Forms is not a complete toolkit, and to
-   work around this problem some of the underlying Win32 foundation is
-   exposed to the programmer in the form of exposing the Windows
-   message handler (WndProc).  Any control can override this method.
-   Also developers often P/Invoke into Win32 to get to functionality
-   that was not wrapped. 
-
-   To achieve full compatibility, we would have to emulate this, and
-   it would take too long.
-
-   For more details see the <a href="winforms.html">winforms page</a>
-
-Q: Wine applications do not look like native applications, what are
-   you going to do about this?  
-
-A: We have already a few patches into our version of Windows.Forms
-   that makes Wine use the colors and font settings from your desktop,
-   improving the integration a lot.   In the future, we will continue
-   to improve this interoperability scenario.
-
-Q: Will I be able to run my smart clients on systems powered by Mono?
-
-A: As long as your applications are 100% .NET and do not make use
-   of P/Invoke to call Win32 functions, your smart client applications
-   will run on Mono platforms.
-
-Q: Where can I learn more about Gtk#?
-
-A: The following <a href="http://gtk-sharp.sourceforge.net">link</a> sends you to the page of the project.
-
-Q: What can I do with Gtk#?. 
-
-A: Gtk# is becoming very usable and you can create applications and
-   applets like those you see in a GNOME desktop environment. It's 
-   easy to install so it's worth a try. 
-
-Q: How can I compile my HelloWorld.cs which uses Gtk#?.
-
-A: Try: mcs -r:gtk-sharp HelloWorld.cs
-
-Q: Is there any way how to connect DataAdapter to some GTK# controls?
-
-A: There is a sample file called `DbClient' in gtk-sharp/samples that you
-   might to look at.  It is a sample program in Gtk# that adds/updates/deletes 
-   information on a Postgress database. When we have the new table/tree widgets, 
-   I am sure someone would write an adapter for System.Data (in Gtk2 the 
-   tree/list widgets are written using a view/model, so you only need to write 
-   a model that maps to the database). You can have a look at 
-   gtk-sharp/sample/DbClient, where there is a GTK# application that uses 
-   System.Data. It does not use DataAdapter, but DataReader though.
-
-Q: Do you have an estimate for when Windows.Forms will be released?
-
-A: The plan currently is aimed at Q3/2004.
-
-
-Q: Do you have a comparission chart about the various toolkit
-   offerings?
-
-A: A document explaining this is available at: <a
-   href="http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/toolkits.html">http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/toolkits.html</a>.

-** Mono and Microsoft
-
-Q: Is Microsoft helping Ximian with this project?
-
-A: There is no high level communication between Ximian and Microsoft
-   at this point, but engineers who work on .NET or the ECMA groups
-   have been very friendly, and very nice to answer our questions, or
-   clarify part of the specification for us. 
-
-   Microsoft is interested in other implementations of .NET and are
-   willing to help make the ECMA spec more accurate for this purpose.
-
-   Ximian was also invited to participate in the ECMA committee
-   meetings for C# and the CLI.
-
-Q: Are Microsoft or Corel paying Ximian to do this?
-
-A: No.
-
-Q: Do you fear that Microsoft will change the spec and render Mono
-   useless?
-
-A: No.  Microsoft proved with the CLI and the C# language that it was
-   possible to create a powerful foundation for many languages to
-   inter-operate.  We will always have that.  
-
-   Even if changes happened in the platform which were undocumented,
-   the existing platform would a value on its own.
-
-Q: Are you writing Mono from the ECMA specs?
-
-A: Yes, we are writing them from the ECMA specs and the published
-   materials in print about .NET.
-
-Q: If my applications use Mono, will I have to pay a service fee?
-
-A: No.  Mono is not related to Microsoft's initiative of
-   software-as-a-service.
-
-Q: Is the Mono Project is related to the Microsoft Hailstorm effort?  Is
-   Ximian endorsing Hailstorm?  
-
-A: No.  The Mono Project is focused on providing a compatible set of
-   tools for the Microsoft .NET development platform.  It does not
-   address, require, or otherwise endorse the MS Passport-based
-   Hailstorm single sign-on system that is part of Windows XP and
-   other services.
-
-Q: Will Mono or .NET applications depend on Microsoft Passport?
-
-A: No. MS Passport is unrelated to running .NET compatible applications
-   produced with the Mono tools.  The only thing you will need is a
-   just-in-time compiler (JIT).
-
-Q: If Microsoft will release a port of their .NET platform under the
-   `Shared Source' license, why should I bother with anything else?
-
-A: The Shared Source implementation will be expensive and its uses
-   will be tightly restricted, especially for commercial use. We are
-   working towards an implementation that will grant a number of
-   important rights to recipients: use for any purpose,
-   redistribution, modification, and redistribution of modifications.
-
-   This is what we call <a
-   href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">Free Software</a>
-
-Q: Is Mono a free implementation of Passport?
-
-A: No. Mono is just a runtime, a compiler and a set of class
-   libraries.
-
-Q: Will the System.Web.Security.PassportIdentity class mean
-   that my software will depend on Passport?
-   
-A: No.  Applications may use that API to contact a Passport site, but
-   are not required to do so.
-
-   As long as your application does not use Passport, you will not
-   need Passport.  
-
-Q: Will Mono running on Linux make Passport available for Linux?
-
-A: No.  However, the Passport toolkit for Linux-based web servers is
-   available from Microsoft.
-
-Q: Will Mono allow me to run Microsoft Office on Linux?
-
-A: No, it will not.  Microsoft Office is a Windows application.  To
-   learn more about running Windows applications on Intel Unix systems
-   refer to <a href="http://www.winehq.com">the Wine Project</a>.
-
-Q: Can mono run the WebMatrix?
-
-A: No. That requires System.Windows.Forms support which is not
-   currently implemented.
-
-Q: Does mono have something like Passport? 
-   Will mono have a server side Passport/Similar framework for XSP as well as client classes?
-
-A: Not yet, but the client side API for authentication is not the problem. 
-   We will likely have a lot of other authentication APIs, like the Liberty
-   Alliance APIs. The problem is people on the web provider end that might use 
-   this for authentication.
-
-<a name="platforms"></a>
-** Mono Platforms 
-
-Q: What operating systems does Mono run on?
-
-A: Mono is known to run on Linux, Unix and Windows systems.   
-
-Q: Can I run Mono applications without using `mono program.exe'?
-
-A: Yes, this is possible on Linux systems, to do this, use something like:
-
-<pre>
-if [ ! -e /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register ]; then
-	/sbin/modprobe binfmt_misc
-	mount -t binfmt_misc none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
-fi
-
-if [ -e /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register ]; then
-	echo ':CLR:M::MZ::/usr/bin/mono:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
-else
-	echo "No binfmt_misc support"
-	exit 1
-fi
-</pre>
-
-Q: What architectures does Mono support?
-
-A: Mono today ships with a Just-in-Time compiler for x86-based
-   systems.  It is tested regularly on Linux, FreeBSD and Windows
-   (with the XP/NT core).
-
-   There is also an interpreter, which is slower that runs on the
-   s390, SPARC and PowerPC architectures.
-
-Q: Can Mono run on Windows 9x, or ME editions?
-
-A: Mono requires Unicode versions of Win32 APIs to run,
-   and only a handful of *W functions is supported under Win9x.
-
-   There is Microsoft Layer for Unicode that provides implementation
-   of these APIs on 9x systems.
-
-   Unfortunately it uses linker trick for delayed load that is not
-   supported by ld, so some sort of adapter is necessary.
-   
-   You will need MSLU and one of the following libs to link Mono to
-   unicows.dll <a
-   href="http://mono.eurosoft.od.ua/files/unimono.zip">http://mono.eurosoft.od.ua/files/unimono.zip</a>
-   or alternatively search the net for "libunicows".
-
-   No changes to Mono source code required, the only thing is to make
-   sure that linker will resolve imports to adapter library instead of
-   Win32 libs. This is achieved by inserting -lunimono before
-   -lkerner32/user32 in the linker's specs file.
-
-Q: Why support Windows, when you can run the real thing?
-
-A: There are various reasons:
-
-   <ul>
-      <li> About half the contributors to Mono are Windows developers.
-           They have many different for contributing to the effort, and
-           we find it very important to let those developers run the runtime on Windows without forcing
-           them to use a new operating system. 
-          
-      <li> Supporting Windows helps us identify the portable portions
-           of Mono from the non-portable versions of it, helping Mono
-           become more portable in the future.
-
-      <li> Mono does not heavily modify the windows registry, update system DLLs,
-	   install DLLs to the Windows/System32 path.  Another words, I knew Mono would
-	   not cause any legacy enterprise applications to stop working - and it
-	   hasn't.  However, our CIO er is againt it because of the changes that would
-	   be made to Windows 2000, such as, affecting security.
-   </ul>
-
-<a name="compatibility"></a>
-** Compatibility
-
-Q: Can Mono run applications developed with the Microsoft.NET framework?
-
-A: Yes, Mono can run applications developed with the Microsoft .NET Framework
-   on Unix.  There are a few caveats to keep in mind: Mono has not
-   been completed yet, so a few API calls might be missing; And in
-   some cases the Mono behavior *might* be incorrect.
-
-Q: Will missing API entry points be implemented?
-
-A: Yes, the goal of Mono is to implement precisely the .NET Framework
-   API (as well as compile-time selectable subsets, for those
-   interested in a lighter version of Mono).
-
-Q: If the behavior of an API call is different, will you fix it?
-
-A: Yes, we will.  But we will need your assistance for this.  If you find a bug
-   in the Mono implementation, please fill a bug report in <a
-   href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com">http://bugzilla.ximian.com</a>.
-   Do not assume we know about the problem, we might not, and using the bug tracking
-   system helps us organize the development process.
-
-Q: Can I develop my applications on Windows, and deploy on a supported
-   Mono platform (like Linux)?
-
-A: Yes, you can.  
-
-   As of today, Mono is not 100% finished, so it is sometimes useful
-   to compile the code with Mono, to find out if your application
-   depends on unimplemented functionality. 
-
-Q: Will applications run out the box with Mono?
-
-A: Sometimes they will.  But sometimes a .NET application might invoke
-   Win32 API calls, or assume certain patterns that are not correct
-   for cross-platform applications.
-
-Q: What is a 100% .NET application?
-
-A: A `100% .NET application' is one that only uses the APIs defined
-   under the System namespace and does not use P/Invoke.  These
-   applications would in theory run unmodified on Windows, Linux,
-   HP-UX, Solaris, MacOS X and others. 
-
-   Note that this requirement also holds for all assemblies used by the
-   application.  If one of them is Windows-specific, then the entire program
-   is not a 100% .NET application.
-
-   Furthermore, a 100% .NET application must not contain non-standard data
-   streams in the assembly.  For example, Visual Studio .NET will insert a 
-   <tt>#-</tt> stream into assemblies built under the "Debug" target.  
-   This stream contains debugging information for use by Visual Studio .NET; 
-   however, this stream can not be interpreted by Mono (unless you're willing 
-   to donate support).
-
-   Thus, it is recommended that all Visual Studio .NET-compiled code be
-   compiled under the Release target before it is executed under Mono.
-
-Q: Can I execute my Visual Studio .NET program (Visual Basic .NET, Visual C#,
-   Managed Extensions for C++, etc.) under Mono?
-
-A: Yes, with some reservations.
-
-   The .NET program must either be a 100% .NET application, or (somehow) have
-   all dependent assemblies available on all desired platforms.  (How to do so
-   is outside the bounds of this FAQ.)
-
-   Mono must also have an implementation for the .NET assemblies used.  For
-   example the System.EnterpriseServices namespace is part of .NET, but it
-   has not been implemented in Mono.  Thus, any applications using this
-   namespace will not run under Mono.
-
-   With regards to languages, C# applications tend to be most portable.
-
-   Visual Basic .NET applications are portable, but Mono's 
-   Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll implementation is incomplete.  It is recommended 
-   to either avoid using this assembly in your own code, only use the 
-   portions that Mono has implemented, or to help implement the missing
-   features.  Additionally, you can set 'Option Strict On', which
-   eliminates the implicit calls to the unimplemented
-   Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.ObjectType class.  
-   (Thanks to Jörg Rosenkranz.)
-
-   Managed Extensions for C++ is least likely to operate under Mono.  Mono
-   does not support mixed mode assemblies (that is, assemblies containing both
-   managed and unmanaged code, which Managed C++ can produce).  You need a
-   fully-managed assembly to run under Mono, and getting the Visual C++ .NET
-   compiler to generate such an executable can be difficult.  You need to use
-   only the .NET-framework assemblies, not the C libraries (you can't use
-   <b>printf</b>(3) for example.), and you need to use
-   the linker options <tt>/nodefaultlib /entry:main mscoree.lib</tt> in
-   addition to the <tt>/clr</tt> compiler flag.  You can still use certain
-   compiler intrinsic functions (such as <b>memcpy</b>(3)) and the STL.
-   You should also see <a 
-   href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vcmex/html/vcgrfconvertingmanagedextensionsforcprojectsfrommixed-modetopureil.asp"
-   >Converting Managed Extensions for C++ Projects from Mixed Mode to Pure
-   Intermediate Language</a> at MSDN.
-   Finally, you can use PEVERIFY.EXE from the .NET SDK to determine if the 
-   assembly is fully managed.
-
-   Thanks to Serge Chaban for the linker flags to use.

-** Mono and Portable.NET
-
-Q: What are the differences between Mono and Portable.NET?
-
-A: Most of Mono is being written using C#, with only
-   a few parts written in C (The JIT engine, the runtime, the
-   interfaces to the garbage collection system).  
-
-   It is easier to describe what is unique about Mono:
-   <ul>
-     <li> An advanced native-code compilation engine: Both
-	  just-in-time compilation (JIT) and pre-compilation of CIL
-	  bytecodes into native code are supported.
-
-     <li> A foundation for code optimization: The new code generator in
-	  Mono builds on the experience of our first JIT engine, and enables
-	  us to implement various advanced compiler optimization
-	  tricks.  With an SSA-framework, plenty of new optimizations are possible. 
-
-          The current list of optimizations are: Peephole postpass,
-	  Branch optimizations, Inline method calls, Constant folding, Constant
-	  propagation, Copy propagation, Dead code elimination, Linear scan
-	  global reg allocation, Conditional moves, Emit per-domain code,
-	  Instruction scheduling, Intrinsic method implementations, Tail
-	  recursion and tail calls, Loop related optimizations, Fast x86 FP
-	  compares, Leaf procedures optimizations
-
-     <li> A self-hosting C# compiler written in C#, which is clean, easy
-          to maintain.
-
-     <li> Focus on the .NET Framework: we are tracking down the .NET
-	  Framework API definition, as we believe it is the API people
-	  will be most familiar with.
-
-     <li> A multi-platform runtime engine: both a JIT engine and an
-          interpreter exist.  The JIT engine runs currently on x86
-          systems, while the interpreter works on SPARC, StrongARM,
-	  s390 and PowerPC systems.  
-
-	  Our new compilation engine is being ported to the PowerPC.
-
-     <li> Supports Linux, BSD, Windows and Solaris at this point.
-
-     <li> The JIT engine is written using a portable instruction
-          selector which not only generates good code but
-          is also the foundation to re-target the JIT engine to other
-          systems.  
-
-     <li> Full support for remoting in the runtime.
-
-     <li> The C# compiler, the JIT engine and the class libraries are
-          mature enough that the whole system has been self-hosting
-	  since April 2002.  This means that we develop Mono
-	  completely with itself at this point.
-
-          By forcing ourselves to use our own code to develop our
-	  tools, we bug fix problems rapidly, and the system is
-	  overall more robust and tested than if we did not.
-
-     <li> We have a great community of developers, without which Mono
-          would not be possible.
-   </ul>
-
-   In general, Mono is more mature and complete since it has been used
-   to develop itself, which is a big motivator for stability and
-   correctness, while Portable.NET remains pretty much an untested
-   platform.
-
-Q: I hear Mono keeps changing the P/Invoke API, why?
-
-A: We are just fixing our implementation to be compatible with the
-   Microsoft implementation.  In other words, the Mono P/Invoke API is
-   more complete when compared to the Portable.NET version, hence
-   various pieces of software that depend on this extended
-   functionality fail to work properly with Portable.NET.
-
-<a name="webservices"></a>
-** Web Services
-
-Q: How is Mono related to Web Services?
-
-A: Mono is only related to Web Services in that it will implement the
-   same set of classes that have been authored in the .NET Framework
-   to simplify and streamline the process of building Web Services.
-
-   But most importantly, Mono is an Open Source implementation of the
-   .NET Framework.
-
-Q: Can I author Web Services with Mono?
-
-A: You will be able to write Web Services on .NET that run on Mono and
-   vice-versa. 
-
-Q: If Mono implements the SDK classes, will I be able to write and
-   execute .NET Web Services with it?
-   
-A: Yes.  When the project is finished, you will be able to use the
-   same technologies that are available through the .NET Framework SDK
-   on Windows to write Web Services.
-
-Q: What about Soup?  Can I use Soup without Mono?
-
-A: Soup is a library for GNOME applications to create SOAP servers and
-   SOAP clients, and can be used without Mono.  You can browse the
-   source code for soup using <a
-   href="http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/">GNOME's Bonsai</a>.
-
-Q: Can I use CORBA?
-
-A: Yes. The CLI contains enough information about a class that
-   exposing it to other RPC systems (like CORBA) is really simple, and
-   does not even require support from an object.  
-
-   <a href="http://remoting-corba.sourceforge.net/">Remoting.CORBA</a> is
-   a CORBA implementation that is gaining momentum.
-
-   Building an implementation of the Bonobo interfaces once this is ready
-   should be relatively simple. 
-
-Q: Can I serialize my objects to other things other than XML?
-
-A: Yes, although the serializing tools have not yet been planned, and
-   you would probably have to implement them yourself.
-
-Q: Will Mono use ORBit?
-
-A: There are a few advantages in using ORBit, like reusing existing code
-   and leveraging all the work done on it.  Michael Meeks has posted
-   a few <a href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2002-September/008592.html">reasons</a>,
-   as well as some <a href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2002-September/008657.html">ideas</a>
-   that could be used to reuse ORBit.
-
-   Most users are likely to choose a native .NET solution, like <a href="http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai">Remoting.CORBA</a>

-
-<a name="monodoc"></a>
-** MonoDoc
-
-Q: What is MonoDoc?
-
-A: MonoDoc is a graphical documentation browser for the Mono class
-   libraries. Currently, monodoc consists of a Gtk# application and is
-   in heavy development.

-** Development Tools and Issues
-
-Q: I am having trouble compiling a new version of Mono from CVS, it 
-   complains about my runtime being out of sync.
-
-A: To upgrade your class libraries and compiler, see the 
-   INSTALL.txt in the MCS directory.
-
-   The single biggest source of confusion seems to be the "Your
-   runtime is out of sync" messages.  Realize that this is *normal*
-   while BUILDING.  Think about it: you're building a new class
-   library with the old runtime.  If the new class library references
-   a function that the old runtime knows nothing about, the runtime
-   system issues this warning.
-
-   Basically what needs to happen is for a new mono runtime to be
-   compiled, then the corlib class library be compiled, and once this
-   is done, install the new runtime, followed by corlib.
-
-   Once this is done, you can continue building your entire
-   environment.
-
-   For instance you just need to:
-   1.- Upgrade your Mono runtime (you might better do it with the 
-   mono-build.sh script available in the <a 
-   href="http://www.go-mono.com">download</a> page.
-   2.- Get the latest mono-lite tarball from the daily snapshots 
-   <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/daily/">page</a>, unzip and 
-   untar and copy all the dll files to your install path lib 
-   directory (typically pointed by the $MONO_PATH variable).
-   Copy all the exe files to the install path bin directory.
-   3.- Then checkout or update your mcs CVS copy. Then follow 
-   the steps described in mcs/INSTALL.txt.
-
-Q: Will it be possible to use the CLI features without using byte codes
-   or the JIT?
-
-A: Yes. The CLI engine will be made available as a shared library.
-   The garbage collection engine, the threading abstraction, the
-   object system, the dynamic type code system and the JIT will be
-   available for C developers to integrate with their applications if
-   they wish to do so. 
-
-Q: Will you have new development tools?
-
-A: With any luck, Free Software enthusiasts will contribute tools to
-   improve the developer environment.  These tools could be developed
-   initially using the Microsoft implementation of the CLI and then
-   executed later with Mono.
-
-   We are recommending people to use and contribute to existing
-   projects like SharpDevelop, Anjuta and Eclipse.
-
-Q: What kind of rules make the Common Intermediate Language useful for
-   JITers?
-
-A: The main rule is that the stack in the CLI is not a general purpose
-   stack.   You are not allowed to use it for other purposes than
-   computing values and passing arguments to functions or return
-   values.  
-
-   At any given call or return instruction, the types on the stack
-   have to be the same independently of the flow of execution of your
-   code. 
-
-Q: Is it true that the CIL is ideal for JITing and not efficient for
-   interpreters?
-
-A: The CIL is better suited to be JITed than JVM byte codes, but you
-   can interpret them as trivially as you can interpret JVM byte
-   codes. 
-
-Q: Isn't it a little bit confusing to have the name of "XSP" (the same 
-   as in the Apache Project) for the ASP.NET support in Mono?.
-
-A: In Mono, xsp is just the name of the C# code generator for ASP.NET 
-   pages. In the Apache Project, it is a term for the "eXtensible Server 
-   Pages" technology so as they are very different things, they don't 
-   conflict.
-
-Q: Is there any plan to develop an aspx server for Mono?.
-
-A: The XSP reference server is available and you can also use mod_mono
-   with Apache.
-
-Q: Is there any way I can develop the class libraries using Linux yet?
-
-A: Yes.  Mono has been self hosting since May 2002.
-
-Q: Is there any way I can install a known working copy of mono in /usr, 
-   and an experimental copy somewhere else, and have both copies use 
-   their own libraries? (I'm still not very good at library paths in 
-   Linux)
-
-A: Yes. Just use two installation prefixes.
-
-Q: How should I write tests or a tests suite?
-
-A: If you do a test suite for C#, you might want to keep it 
-   independent of the Mono C# compiler, so that other compiler 
-   implementations can later use it.  
-
-Q: Would it be too terrible to have another corlib signed as mscorlib? 
-
-A: We rename corlib to mscorlib also when saving the PE files, in fact, 
-   the runtime can execute program created by mono just fine.  
-
-Q: Is it possible to build a C# file to some sort of intermediate format which 
-   can linked into a final module, like the traditional .c -> .o -> .so path? 
-   
-A: You can use: 
-
-	mcs /target:library file1.cs, mcs /target:library file2.cs, 
-	mcs /target:exe file1.dll file2.dll /out:mybin.exe
-
-Q: Is there any plans for implementing remoting in the near future?
-
-A: The remoting infrastructure is in place.  We have implementations
-   of the TcpChannel, HttpChannel and the Soap and Binary Formatters.
-   They are compatible with .NET.
-
-   However, some classes from the library may have a different binary
-   representation, because they may have a different internal data
-   structure, so for example you won't be able to exchange a Hastable
-   object between Mono and MS.NET. It should not be a problem if you
-   are using primitive types, arrays or your own classes. In any case,
-   could you post a test case?
-
-
-Q: My C code uses the __stdcall which is not availble on Linux, how can I
-   make the code portable Windows/Unix across platforms?
-
-A: Replace the __stdcall attribute with the STDCALL macro, and include this
-   in your C code for newer gcc versions:
-
-	#ifndef STDCALL
-	#define STDCALL __attribute__((stdcall))
-	#endif
-
-Q: I want to be able to execute Mono binaries, without having to use the "mono"
-   command.  How can I do this?
-
-A: From Carlos Perelló:
-
-   <i>I think that the best solution is the binfmt feature with the
-   wrapper that exists with Debian packages at:
-
-   <a href="http://www.debianplanet.org/mono/dists/unstable/main/source/admin/">http://www.debianplanet.org/mono/dists/unstable/main/source/admin/</a>
-
-   If you want use it with Big endian machines, you should apply a patch
-   (<a href="http://carlos.pemas.net/debian/mono/binfmt-detector-cli.c.diff">http://carlos.pemas.net/debian/mono/binfmt-detector-cli.c.diff</a>)
-
-   It works really good and lets you use wine also, it reads the .exe file
-   headers and check if it's a .net executable.
-
-   This way you just execute: ./my-cool-mono-application.exe and it works
-   without the need of any wrapper.</i>
-
-Q: I see funny characters when I run programs, what is the problem?
-
-A: (From Peter Williams and Gonzalo Paniagua):
-
-   This is Red Hat 9 (probably) using UTF8 on its console; the bytes are
-   the UTF8 endianness markers.   You can do:
- 
-	 LC_ALL=C mono myexe.exe
-
-   And they wont show up.
-
-   Alternatively, you can do:
-
-        $ echo -e "\033%G"
-
-   to enable UTF-8 on the console.
-
-<a name="asp">
-** Mono and ASP.NET
-
-Q: Does Mono support ASP.NET?
-
-A: Yes. 
-
-   Mono supports ASP.NET, we have shown an unmodified IBuySpy
-   installation running on Mono as well as various other programs.  You can
-   try it yourself downloading the XSP server. 
-
-Q: Do I need install cygwin to work on ASP.NET in mono or Linux is enough since 
-   it is self host right now.
-
-A: Linux is enough.
-
-Q: How can I run ASP.NET-based applications with Mono?
-
-A: You need the Mono runtime and a hosting web server.  Currently we distribute a 
-   small web server called `xsp' which is used to debug applications, or you can choose
-   to use Daniel's Apache 2 module.
-
-Q: Any plan to make ASP.NET in mono works with Apache in Linux?.
-
-A: Daniel has authored an Apache2 Module for Mono that hosts the ASP.NET runtime
-   and is available here: <a
-   href="http://apacheworld.org/modmono/">http://apacheworld.org/modmono/</a>
-
-Q: Will you support Apache 1?
-
-A: Modules developed for Apache 2 are not compatible with Apache 1.3
-   Daniel plans to support Apache 1.3 in the future but the current focus is on
-   Apache 2, because of the better support for threading and Windows.
-
-Q: Can I run Apache 1 and Apache 2 on the same machine?
-
-   You can always keep a copy of Apache 2 running in parallel with your Apache
-   1.3 (either different port or using a reverse proxy).
-
-   You can also bind the two servers to different IP addresses on the
-   same physical machine.
-
-<a name="ado">
-** Mono and ADO.NET
-
-Q: What is the status of ADO.NET support?. Could I start migrating 
-   applications from MS.NET to Mono?.
-
-A: You could start right now using the ADO.NET support in mono, of course,
-   if you want to help filling the missing gaps while you develop your app
-   :-) Well, what I mean is that we're not that far to having full ADO.NET
-   support in Mono, and we've got a lot of working things, so if we could
-   get more help, we'd finish it really soon :-)
-
-Q: In developing the data architecture for the application are there and
-   objects I should stay away from in order to insure the smoothest possible
-   transition (minimum code rewrite) to Mono's ADO.NET implementation?  (For
-   example, strongly typed datasets versus untyped datasets, etc...)
-
-A: We are implementing all the classes in Microsoft .NET's System.Data, so
-   you can be sure that things will work the same in Mono as with the Microsoft
-   implementation. 
-
-Q: Does Mono can to connect to Sybase by using Mono.Data.*?
-
-A: Yes. use Mono.Data.SybaseClient. First of all you have to create a
-   SybaseConnection, and then, from it, use it as any other
-   IDbConnection-based class.
-
-<a name="java">
-** Mono and Java
-   
-Q: Why don't you use Java?  After all, there are many languages that
-   target the Java VM.
-
-A: You can get very good tools for doing Java development on free
-   systems right now.  <a href="http://www.redhat.com">Red Hat</a> has
-   contributed a <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org">GCC</a> <a
-   href="http://gcc.gnu.org/java/">front-end for Java</a> that can take
-   Java sources or Java byte codes and generate native executables; <a
-   href="http://www.google.com/search?q=transvirtual">Transvirtual</a>
-   implemented
-   <a href="http://www.kaffe.org">Kaffe</a> a JIT engine for Java;
-   Intel also has a Java VM called <a
-   href="http://www.intel.com/research/mrl/orp/">ORP</a>.
-
-   The JVM is not designed to be a general purpose virtual machine.
-   The Common Intermediate Language (CIL), on the other hand, is
-   designed to be a target for a
-   wide variety of programming languages, and has a set of rules
-   designed to be optimal for JITers.
-
-Q: Could Java target the CLI?
-
-A: Yes, Java could target the CLI, Microsoft's J# compiler does that.
-
-   The <a href="http://weblog.ikvm.net/">IKVM</a> project builds a
-   Java runtime that works on top of .NET and on top of Mono.  IKVM is
-   essentially a JIT compiler that translates from JVM bytecodes into
-   CIL instructions, and then lets the native JIT engine take over. 
-
-Q: Is it possible to write a JVM byte code to CIL converter?
-
-A: Yes, this is what <a href="http://weblog.ikvm.net">IKVM</a> does.
-
-Q: Could mono become a hybrid CIL/java platform?
-
-A: This can be obtained easily with IKVM.
-
-Q: Do you plan to implement a Javascript compiler?
-
-A: Yes.  The beginnings of the JScript compiler can be found on CVS.
-   Cesar coordinates this effort.
-
-Q: Can Mono or .NET share system classes (loaded from mscore.dll and other 
-   libs) or will it behave like Sun's Java VM?
-
-A: What you can do with mono is to load different applications in their own
-   application domain: this is a feature of the CLR that allows sandboxing
-   applications inside a single process space. This is usualy exploited to
-   compartmentalize different parts of the same app, but it can also be
-   effectively used to reduce the startup and memory overhead.
-   Using different appdomains the runtime representation of types and
-   methods is shared across applications.
-
-<a name="extending"></a>
-** Extending Mono
-
-Q: Would you allow other classes other than those in the
-   specification?
-
-A: Yes.  The Microsoft class collection is very big, but it is by no
-   means complete.  It would be nice to have a port of `Camel' (the
-   Mail API used by Evolution inspired by Java Mail) for Mono
-   applications.  
-
-   You might also want to look into implementing CORBA for Mono.  Not
-   only because it would be useful, but because it sounds like a fun
-   thing to do, given the fact that the CLI is such a type rich
-   system. 
-
-   For more information on extending Mono, see our <a
-   href="ideas.html">ideas</a> page.
-
-Q: Do you plan to Embrace and Extend .NET?
-
-A: Embracing a good technology is good.  Extending technologies in
-   incompatible ways is bad for the users, so we do not plan on 
-   making incompatible changes to the technologies.
-
-   If you have innovative ideas, and want to create new classes, we 
-   encourage you to make those classes operate correctly well in both
-   Mono and .NET.
-
-   Today Mono ships with a number of extra libraries that were
-   developed either by members of the Mono community, or other
-   groups.  
-
-   In some cases, we have found the bits from Microsoft to be
-   incomplete, but we avoid breaking the API, instead we expose the
-   missing functionality in new assemblies (See Mono.Security and
-   System.Security).
-
-Q: Is there any way I can develop the class libraries using Linux yet?
-
-A: Yes.  Mono has been selfhosting since March 2002. 
-
-Q: Is there any way I can install a known working copy of mono in /usr, 
-   and an experimental copy somewhere else, and have both copies use 
-   their own libraries? (I'm still not very good at library paths in 
-   Linux)
-
-A: Yes. Just use two installation prefixes.
-
-
-<a name="portability"></a>
-** Portability
-
-Q: Will Mono only work on Linux?
-
-A: Currently, we are doing our work on Linux-based systems and
-   Windows.  We do not expect many Linux-isms in the code, so it
-   should be easy to port Mono to other UNIX variants.   
-
-Q: What about Mono on non Linux-based systems?
-
-A: Our main intention at Ximian is to be able to develop GNOME
-   applications with Mono, but if you are interested in providing a
-   port of the Winforms classes to other platforms (frame buffer or
-   MacOS X for example), we would gladly integrate them, as long
-   they are under an open source license.  
-
-Q: What operating systems/CPUs do you support
-
-A: Mono currently runs on Linux, Windows, Solaris, FreeBSD, HP-UX and
-   MacOS X.
-
-   There is a JIT engine available for x86 processors that can
-   generate code and optimizations tailored for a particular CPU.
-
-   Interpreters exist for the SPARC v8, SPARC v9, Itanium, HP-PA,
-   PowerPC and StrongARM CPUs.
-
-Q: Does Mono run on Windows?
-
-A: Yes.   You can get pre-compiled
-   binaries from <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/download.html">http://www.go-mono.com/download.html</a>
-
-Q: Does Mono run on Linux?
-
-A: Yes.  You can get pre-compiled
-   binaries from <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/download.html">http://www.go-mono.com/download.html</a>
-
-Q: Will I require Cygwin to run mono?
-
-A: No.  Cygwin is only required to build Mono.
-
-Q: Will Mono depend on GNOME?
-
-A: It will depend only if you are using a particular assembly (for
-   example, for doing GUI applications).  If you are just interested
-   in Mono for implementing a `Hello World Enterprise P2P Web
-   Service', you will not need any GNOME components.
-
-Q: Do you plan to port Rhino to C#?.
-
-A: Eto Demerzal has started a Rhino port to C#.
-
-Q: Has anyone succeeded in building a Mac version of the C# environment. 
-   If so can you explain how?  
-
-A: You could try to check with the Darwin people, or the Fink people.
-   Mono/C# is self hosting on Linux/PPC which is the hard part, so it
-   should be relatively simple to get it to work on MacOS
-
-<a name="reuse"></a>
-** Reusing Existing Code
-
-Q: What projects will you reuse or build upon?
-
-A: We want to get Mono in the hands of programmers soon.  We are
-   interested in reusing existing open source software.
-
-Q: Will I be able to use Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or will I need to switch
-   to a specific Open Source Database. Will I need to recode?
-
-A: There is no need to rewrite your code as long as you keep using
-   Microsoft SQL Server.  If you want to use an open source database,
-   you might need to make changes to your code.
-
-Q: What do I need to watch out for when programming in VB.NET so that I'm
-   sure to be able to run those apps on Linux?
-
-A: Not making any P/Invoke or DLL calls should and not using anything in
-   the Microsoft.* namespaces should suffice. Also do not use any 
-   Methods/Classes marked as "This type/method supports the .NET Framework 
-   infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code." 
-   even if you know what these classes/methods do.
-
-Q: Will built-in reporting be supported for crystal reports? This is a
-   heavily used part of our system.
-
-A: . Crystal Reports are propriety. Someone may try to emulate
-   the behavior, but no-one has yet volunteered.
-
-Q: Who about writing to the registry? As I understand it, Linux does not have
-   a counterpart to the registry. Should I avoid relying on that feature?
-
-A: Try to avoid it. Although there would be a emulation for registry in
-   Mono too. GNOME does have a registry like mechanism for configuration. But
-   Even if gnome has a configuration system similar to the registry, the keys 
-   will not be equal, so you will probably end up having to do some runtime 
-   detection, and depending on this load an assembly that has your 
-   platform-specific hacks.
-
-Q: System.Data.SqlClient with FreeTDS, will you port parts of these to C# and 
-   use them?
-
-A: This has been done.
-
-<a name="gcc"></a>
-** Mono and GCC
-
-Q: Are you working on a GCC front-end to C#? A GCC back-end that will
-   generate CIL images? 
-
-A: We would love to see a GCC modification that would generate CIL
-   images, but there is nothing at this point.
-
-Q: What about making a front-end to GCC that takes CIL images and
-   generates native code?
-
-A: There is no active work on this area, but Mono already provides
-   pre-compilation services (Ahead-of-Time compilation).
-
-Q: But would this work around the GPL in the GCC compiler and allow
-   people to work on non-free front-ends?
-
-A: People can already do this by targeting the JVM byte codes (there
-   are about 130 compilers for various languages that target the JVM).
-
-<a name="performance"></a>
-** Performance
-
-Q: How fast will Mono be?
-
-A: We can not predict the future, but a conservative estimate is that
-   it would be at least `as fast as other JIT engines'.
-
-   Mono's JIT engine has been recently re-architected, and it provides
-   many new features, and layers suitable for optimization.  It is
-   relatively easy to add new optimizations to Mono. 
-
-   The CIL has some advantages over the Java byte code:  it is really
-   an intermediate representation and there are a number of
-   restrictions on how you can emit CIL code that simplify creating
-   better JIT engines.
-
-   For example, on the CIL, the stack is not really an abstraction
-   available for the code generator to use at will.  Rather, it is a
-   way of creating a postfix representation of the parsed tree.  At
-   any given call point or return point, the contents of the stack are
-   expected to contain the same object types independently of how the
-   instruction was reached.
-
-<a name="licensing"></a>
-** Licensing
-
-Q: Will I be able to write proprietary applications that run with
-   Mono?
-
-A: Yes.  The licensing scheme is planned to allow proprietary
-   developers to write applications with Mono.
-   
-Q: What license or licenses are you using for the Mono Project?
-
-A: The C# Compiler is released under the terms of the <a

-   a proprietary license for those who can not use the LGPL and the
-   GPL in their code.

-
-Q: I would like to contribute code to Mono under a particular
-   license. What licenses will you accept?
-
-A: We will have to evaluate the licenses for compatibility first,
-   but as a general rule, we will accept the code under the same
-   terms of the "container" module. 
-
-<a name="patents"></a>
-** Patents
-
-Q: Could patents be used to completely disable Mono (either submarine
-   patents filed now, or changes made by Microsoft specifically to
-   create patent problems)?
-
-A: First some background information.
-
-   The .NET Framework is divided in two parts: the ECMA/ISO covered
-   technologies and the other technologies developed on top of it like
-   ADO.NET, ASP.NET and Windows.Forms.
-
-   Mono implements the ECMA/ISO covered parts, as well as being a
-   project that aims to implement the higher level blocks like
-   ASP.NET, ADO.NET and Windows.Forms.  
-
-   The Mono project has gone beyond both of those components and has
-   developed and integrated third party class libraries, the most
-   important being: Debugging APIs, integration with the Gnome
-   platform (Accessibility, Pango rendering, Gdk/Gtk, Glade, GnomeUI),
-   Mozilla, OpenGL, extensive database support (Microsoft only
-   supports a couple of providers out of the box, while Mono has
-   support for 11 different providers), our POSIX integration
-   libraries and finally the embedded API (used to add scripting to
-   applications and host the CLI, or for example as an embedded
-   runtime in Apache). 
-
-   The core of the .NET Framework, and what has been patented by
-   Microsoft falls under the ECMA/ISO submission.  Jim Miller at
-   Microsoft has made a statement on the patents covering ISO/ECMA,
-   (he is one of the inventors listed in the patent): <a
-   href="https://mailserver.di.unipi.it/pipermail/dotnet-sscli/msg00218.html">here</a>.
-
-   Basically a grant is given to anyone who want to implement those
-   components for free and for any purpose.
-
-   The controversial elements are the ASP.NET, ADO.NET and
-   Windows.Forms subsets.  Those are convenient for people who need
-   full compatibility with the Windows platform, but are not required
-   for the open source Mono platform, nor integration with today's
-   Mono's rich support of Linux. 
-
-   The Mono strategy for dealing with these technologies is as
-   follows: (1) work around the patent by using a different
-   implementation technique that retains the API, but changes the
-   mechanism; if that is not possible, we would (2) remove the pieces
-   of code that were covered by those patents, and also (3) find prior
-   art that would render the patent useless.
- 
-   Not providing a patented capability would weaken the
-   interoperability, but it would still provide the free software /
-   open source software community with good development tools, which
-   is the primary reason for developing Mono.  
-
-   The patents do not apply in countries where software patents are
-   not allowed.
-
-   For Linux server and desktop development, we only need the ECMA
-   components, and things that we have developed (like Gtk#) or Apache
-   integration.  
-
-Q: Is Mono only an implementation of the .NET Framework?
-
-A: Mono implements both the .NET Framework, as well as plenty of class
-   libraries that are either Unix specific, <a
-   href="http://www.gnome.org">Gnome</a> specific, or that are not
-   part of the .NET Framework but people find useful. 
-
-   The following map shows the relationship between the components:

-<a name="obfuscation"></a>
-** Obfuscation
-
-Q: Are there any obfuscation programs for Mono/Linux?
-
-A: We are not aware of these, but some from Windows might work.
-
-Q: What could I do to avoid people decompiling my program?
-
-A: You can use the bundle functionality in Mono. 
-
-   This would bundle your binary inside a Mono runtime instance, so
-   you distribute a single executable that contains the code inside.
-   Notice that for this to work and be practical, you need to get a
-   commercial license to the Mono runtime.
-
-   The reason is that the bundle functionality is covered by the LGPL:
-   so you would have to distribute your assemblies separatedly to allow
-   developers to relink mono which would defeat the purpose of bundling
-   for obscuring your code.
-
-   It is not impossible to break, just like any other obfuscators.
-
-   That being said, value these days does not lie in particular
-   tiny routines, but lies in the large body of work, and if someone
-   steals your code, you are likely going to find out anyways.
-
-Q: Any other option?
-
-A: You could precompile with --aot your code, then disassemble the
-   original .exe, and remove all the code, then re-assemble and ship
-   both the vessel .exe and the precompiled code.  
-
-   This is not a supported configuration of Mono, and you would be 
-   on your own in terms of dealing with bugs and problems here.
-
-   Get the companies that build the obfuscation packages to read 
-   the ECMA spec and fix the bugs in their products that generate 
-   non-standard binaries (or, if they expose a bug in mono, please
-   file a report in our bugzilla).  
-
-   Pay Ximian/Novell to spend the development time needed to get mono
-   to support the broken binaries that some of the obfuscation
-   packages generate (or contribute that support).

-** Miscellaneous Questions
-
-Q: You say that the CLI allows multiple languages to execute on the
-   same environment.  Isn't this the purpose of CORBA?
-
-A: The key difference between CORBA (and COM) and the CLI is that the
-   CLI allows "data-level interoperability" because every
-   language/component uses the same data layout and memory management.
-
-   This means you can operate directly upon the data types that someone
-   else provides, without having to go via their interfaces.  It also
-   means you don't have to "marshal" (convert) parameters (data
-   layouts are the same, so you can just pass components directly) and
-   you don't have to worry about memory management, because all
-   languages/components share the same garbage collector and address
-   space.  This means much less copying and no need for reference
-   counting.
-
-Q: Will you support COM?
-
-A: The runtime will support XPCOM on Unix systems and COM on Windows.
-   Most of the code for dynamic trampolines exists already.
-
-Q: Will Ximian offer certifications on Mono or related technologies?. 
-
-A: It's possible. But there is no plan about this. So the short answer is no.
-
-Q: How can I report a bug?
-
-A: The best thing is to track down the bug and provide a simple test
-   to reproduce the bug.  You can then add the bug to our bug tracking
-   system.  You can use our <a href="bugs.html">Bug Form</a> to enter
-   bugs for the appropriate component.
-
-   Please provide information about what version of mono you're using
-   and any relevant details to be able to reproduce the bug. Note that
-   bugs reported on the mailing-list may be easily forgotten, so it's
-   better to file them in the <a href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com/enter_bug.cgi">bug tracking system</a>.
-
-Q: Does mcs support the same command line options as the MS C# 
-   compiler?
-
-A: The Mono C# compiler now supports the same command line
-   arguments as the Microsoft C# compiler does.
-
-Q: How about getting searchable archives on lists.ximian.com? 
-
-A: You can perform a search on the mono-related mailing lists 
-   <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/mailing-lists.html">here</a>.
-
-Q: When using mono from cvs or from a snapshot, I get an error messaage
-   saying that Mono and the runtime are out of sync. How do I fix that?
-
-A: If you use mono from cvs, you need to be prepared for changes in the
-   runtime internals. This means that you should keep a working setup 
-   before blindling updating (a working setup may just be the last released
-   tarball or a recent binary snapshot).
-   Usually, compiling corlib with mcs before recompiling the C runtime does
-   the right thing (but occasionally you may need to do it the other 
-   way around).
-
-Q: Why are you going for a GtkHtml implementation?
-
-A: GtkHTML is just a lightweight HTML rendering engine that does not
-   support CSS, so we need it to look decent for those of us that will 
-   be using the documentation in our day-to-day work on Linux. The 
-   Web-based interfaces lack the agility that you get from a native GUI
-   tool to browse your documentation. Probably later on, we will write 
-   scripts and generate a full documentation set that is web-browsable, 
-   but we need a command-line and GUI tools that we can use natively on 
-   Linux when disconnected from the Web (and that has better 
-   interactions than a web page).
-
-Q: Is there a command-line tool that allows me to access .NET interactively?
-
-A: There are several but one that is free software and uses MCS is the one
-   Dennis Lu from Rice University is working on; a REPL C# interpreter.
-
-Q: Is it possible to use Visual C++ with Mono?.
-
-A: It's possible to run VC++ generated apps under Mono, but we do not
-   provide a Manager C++ compiler ourselves.
-
-Q: Does Mono support generics?.
-
-A: Mono doesn't support generics currently but a lot of work is being 
-   done towards it.

-	is a website managed by Novell to promote the development of
-	open source applications and solutions.  Novell Forge features
-	communities, akin to foundries on SourceForge.net, which exist
-	for the purpose of facilitating collaboration and information
-	exchange about certain technologies or solutions.  At Miguel's
-	request, we have created a Mono community on Novell Forge that
-	is administered by Miguel.  This community, located at
-	http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/community/?monocomm,
-	provides a resource for interaction and collaboration on Mono
-	and associated solutions.  Each community has the ability to
-	provide forums, mailing lists, FAQs, news, documentation,
-	surveys, sample code, and links to related applications.  The
-	Mono community has been created for anyone interested in Mono
-	to use, and the exact set of features offered at the community
-	is determined by Miguel.
-
-	Any individual or group that wishes to provide Mono-based solutions in
-	an open source fashion is encouraged to host their solution on the
-	Novell Forge website, free of charge.  Once the project is hosted on
-	Novell Forge, you can send Miguel an e-mail requesting that your project
-	be associated with the Mono project.  This promotes a symbiotic

-
-
-<p>If you want to build GTK# yourself on Windows:

-

-<p>To build gtk# under windows, you will need the following:

-

-<ul>

- <li>cygwin from <a href="http://www.cygwin.com/">here</a>  When installing Cygwin via setup.exe, 

-   by default binutils and other tools do not get installed; you have to make 

-   sure to select these items.  Just make

-   sure Base and Development are set to Install.</li>

- <li>Mono 0.17 or later from <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/download.html">here</a>

-  You can use Windows Setup Wizard (NT/2000/XP).</li>

- <li>GTK+ 2.0 (and dependencies).  You can obtain gtk+ 2.0 by either of the

-following:

-	<ul>

-		<li>You can get a Windows Installer at:

-          <a href="http://www.dropline.net/jade/download.html">here</a> </li>

-		<li>or get the separate binary and dev/lib packages at

-           at <a href="http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html">here</a> </li>

-        <li>or binary package from Dev-C++ site <a href="http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/packages/gtk.html">here</a> </li>

-		<li>or get Gtk4Win <a href="http://wingtk.sourceforge.net/index.html">here</a> </li>

-		<li>or the source at <a href="http://www.gtk.org/">here</a> </li>

-     </ul>

-  </li>

- <li>binary distriubtion of a current web browser

-  like Internet Explorer 4.0, Mozilla 1.0, or Netscape 7.0 which

-  includes things like msvcrt.dll.</li>

- <li>Microsoft .NET Framework at

-  <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?url=/downloads/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/027/000/976/msdncompositedoc.xml&frame=true">here</a> </li>

-

-

-<p>Environment Variables to set:

-<ul>

-<li>PATH - set to your mono installation bin and lib path.

-  For example, my mono installation prefix is:

-<pre>

-F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install

-</pre>

-  <p>So, I would set my PATH in the Windows Control Panel as:

-<pre>

-F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/bin;F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/lib</li>

-</pre>

-</li>

-<li>LD_LIBRARY_PATH - set to your mono installation lib path</li>

-<li>PKG_CONFIG_PATH - set to your mono installation lib/pkgconfig path, such

- as,

-<pre>

-  F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/lib/pkgconfig</li>

-</pre>

-

- <p>If you got the gtk-sharp source, cd to the gtk-sharp directory, type:

-<pre>

- ./autogen.sh --prefix=~/mono/install

-</pre>

-

- <p>Set your --prefix= to whatever your mono installation prefix is located.

- This will take awhile to go through the ./autogen.sh and ./configure...

-

- <p>After that it finishes succesfully, you run make with the makefile.win32

- like:

-<pre>

- make -f makefile.win32

-</pre>

-

- <p>After that finishes succesfully, you can copy to your mono installation lib

- path like:

-<pre>

- cp */*.dll ~/mono/install/lib

-</pre>

-</ul>

-

-<p>The pkg-config files for

-gtk+ 2.0 and dependencies will need to be set correctly if they haven't

-already been.

-

-<p>Look in your mono installation/lib/pkgconfig, such as,

-<pre>

-F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/lib/pkgconfig

-</pre>

-

-<p>You will find files like: gtk+-2.0.pc

-

-<p>Edit the line that says

-

-<pre>

- prefix=something

-</pre>

-

-<p>And set it to your mono installation prefix, such as,

-* Mono Hackers Hall Of Fame
-
-Without the help, the skills and the time of many passionate developers outside of 
-the Ximian Mono team, Mono would not be where it is today.
-
-Many of them do it for fun, some do it because they really want a nice CLR they 
-can hack on, some do it because they need a working solution to some development 
-issues and mono is the ideal tool for the job. 
-
-Some of them may start contributing because they want a mention in the
-<b>Mono Hackers Hall Of Fame</b>! Whatever the cause, join us in a big<br>
-<h1 align="center">Thank you!</h1>
-
-* Mono Hackers
-
-** Zoltan Varga
-
-Zoltan has contributed significantly to Mono, with bug reports and bug 
-fixes as well as pushing the envelope of the things that can be done in
-and with the mono runtime: the gcc-based ngen compiler, code coverage
-and more recently his work with Reflection.Emit that got mono to the 
-point of running the IKVM Java virtual machine.
-
-** Sergey Chaban
-
-Sergey has been a long time contributor to the project, from the early
-work on the class libraries that were critical to Mono's origin: every
-time you use a Hashtable in Mono, it runs Sergey's code, to the
-low-level optimizations on the JIT engine and to his work on ILASM and
-the PEToolkit.  And countless other things.
-
-** Nick Drochak
-
-The first, deserved, entry in the <b>Mono Hackers Hall Of Fame</b> is for
-Nick Drochak, who joined us in the first days of Mono and built the testing 
-infrastructure for the C# assemblies, fixed tons of bugs and even adventured 
-himself in the lands of the C runtime. His work is invaluable for keeping
-Mono on the right track through the daily changes in the codebase.

-* Ideas
-
-	There are many pending classes that need to be implemented.  Those have
-	the highest impact in the Mono project: the sooner they are done,
-	the sooner we can start using this platform to create new and
-	exciting applications.
-
-	That being said, if you are not very excited about working on class
-	libraries, here is a list of other related projects or tools that might
-	be useful to the Mono project.
-
-	Here are a few ideas of tools, classes and projects that you
-	could start. More are forthcoming.
-
-<a name="runtime">
-** Runtime
-
-<a name="classes">
-** Classes
-
-	<ul>
-		* Implement a JXTA protocol implementation:
-		<a href="http://www.jxta.org">http://www.jxta.org</a>
-
-		* Implement a Mail API, similar to Camel or JavaMail (Camel has
-		  significant architecture features that are required on a real
-		  mailer).
-
-		  You can check the current C 
-		<a href="http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/rview.cgi?dir=evolution%2Fcamel">
-		Camel implementation</a>.
-
-		  Such an implementation could be used both with
-		  Microsoft .NET and Mono.
-
-		* Interfacing to Multimedia systems.  You might want
-		  to look into the Quicktime API.  I know <a
-		  href="mailto:vladimir@ximian.com">Vladimir</a> has
-		  researched the problem before 
-
-	</ul>
-
-<a name="projects">
-** Projects
-
-	This list of projects ideas is outdated
-
-		* Once <a href="http://remoting-corba.sourceforge.net/">CORBA</a> is done, implement the Bonobo interfaces
-		  to allow people to use Bonobo components in Mono and
-		  Mono components with Bonobo.  The best of both worlds!
-
-		* A naming space for Mono.  An object naming space is
-		  a very powerful tool.  Bonobo implements a moniker
-		  system that is more powerful than the original
-		  moniker concept that was pioneered by COM/OLE in the
-		  Microsoft world.
-
-		  Our implementation builds on a concept, and we have
-		  made it simpler, more powerful, more extensible and
-		  a much better mechanism than the equivalent monikers
-		  on Windows. 
-
-		  Implementing Mono monikers would benefit both
-		  Windows users using .NET and Mono users on Unix and
-		  Windows.  
-
-		  Here is <a
-		  href="http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/monikers.html">an
-		  overview of the moniker system</a> in Bonobo.

-* Java
-
-	<b>This is an outline on how to support Java, actual
-	implementations of ideas like this can be found <a href="http://radio.weblogs.com/0109845/">here</a></b>
-
-
-	It would be interesting to support the Java language as part
-	of the Mono project.  
-
-	You have to think of Java as various pieces: Java the
-	language and Java the virtual machine.  
-
-	It is possible to compile Java to .NET, as shown by the
-	Microsoft J# compiler.   We could then allow the migration of
-	Java applications to the Mono runtime. 
-
-** Native compiler
-
-	Although a native compiler can be built, and probably should be
-	built using an existing compiler, a short term solution is to 
-	build a translator from Java class files to the ECMA CIL images.
-
-	This has the advantage that we can use an existing and tested
-	Java compiler to generate the code, and then we can use an automated
-	code compiler that compiles Java VM bytecodes to CIL bytecodes.
-
-** The translator.
-
-	It would be interesting to write a semantic translator that
-	converts java byte codes into CIL opcodes.  This is possible
-	because the Java byte codes are a subset of the CIL ones.
-
-	A semantic tree needs to be constructed (very much in the
-	spirit of what is done in mono_analize_stack in
-	<tt>mono/mono/jit/jit.c</tt>.  Once such a semantic tree is
-	constructed, we could generate the equivalent Java code.
-
-	This has a number of interesting side effects: people can
-	continue to use their existing Java compilers to compile their
-	code, and a simple tool that converts their .class files into
-	a .NET assembly can be used.
-
-** Libraries
-
-	We could translate the GNU Classpath libraries with the above
-	tools to provide the Java runtime required to host into the
-	Mono runtime.  Some special treatment would be required for
-	core data types like integers, arrays and strings, and of
-	course reuse where possible existing classes from .NET to make
-	them compatible.
-
-** JILC - Java to IL Compiler
-
-	This is an attempt to make the java bytecode available for the
-	.NET environment.
-
-	The project attempts to generate the IL code / bytecode from the
-	compiled java class files. It has reached the stage of code-generation.
-	The issues that needs to be addressed is the mapping of java objects
-	to the IL objects, eg: java.lang.String to System.String.
-
-	Gaurav Vaish and Abhaya Agarwal are currently leading this project.
-	The project is currently hosted at <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/jilc">SourceForge.Net</a>.
-	The official home page of the project is 
-	<a href="http://jilc.sourceforge.net">http://jilc.sourceforge.net</a>.

-* Debugging information
-
-	Compile your programs using the `-g' flag in MCS, that will all a special
-	resource containing debugging information to your executable.
-
-	To get stack traces with line number information, you need to run your 
-	program like this:
-
-	<b>
-	mono --debug program.exe
-	</b>
-
-	Notice that the program will need to be compiled with the -g
-	flag and that running with --debug will slow down the execution.
-
-* Debugging with GDB
-
-	If you use GDB to debug your mono process, you can use the function
-	print_method_from_ip(void *address) to obtain the name of a method
-	given an address.
-
-	For example:
-
-	<pre>
-(gdb) where
-#0  ves_icall_System_String_GetHashCode (me=0x80795d0) at string-icalls.c:861
-#1  0x0817f490 in ?? ()
-#2  0x0817f42a in ?? ()
-#3  0x0817f266 in ?? ()
-#4  0x0817f1a5 in ?? ()
-</pre>
-
-	You can now use:
-
-<pre>
-(gdb) p print_method_from_ip (0x0817f490)
-IP 0x817f490 at offset 0x28 of method (wrapper managed-to-native) System.String:GetHashCode () (0x817f468 0x817f4a4)
-$1 = void
-(gdb) p print_method_from_ip (0x0817f42a)
-IP 0x817f42a at offset 0x52 of method System.Collections.Hashtable:GetHash (object) (0x817f3d8 0x817f43b)
-$2 = void
-</pre>
-
-	Mono support libraries use a couple of signals internally that
-	confuse gdb, you might want to add this to your .gdbinit file:
-
-<pre>
-	handle SIGPWR nostop noprint 
-	handle SIGXCPU nostop noprint 
-</pre>
-
-* Mono Debugger 
-
-	The Mono debugger is written in C# and can debug both managed
-	and unmanaged applications, support for multiple-threaded
-	applications and should be relatively easy to port to new

-* mbas: Mono's Basic.NET Compiler.

-

-	MBAS is a CIL compiler for the Visual Basic language, an extended 

-	version of VisualBasic.NET. It's based on the MCS compiler

-	and still in heavy development, though many language features are

-	already supported.

-

-** What works

-

-	<ul>

-

-		* Classes, Fields and Methods. Properties are still

-		  being worked on.

-

-		* Module definition and Sub functionality (TODO: Function's)

-

-	 	* Namespace Import, so can you reference, instantiate

-		  and call external assemblies

-

-		* Parameter passing between Sub's. ByVal and ByRef

-		  parameters are being worked on.

-

-		* Delegates

-

-		* Object creation

-

-		* Events - to a limited extent. You can declare a

-		  Class-Field as 'WithEvents' and dynamic events (i.e

-		  AddHandler MyButton.Click, Button1_OnClick).  Please

-		  beware: just after committing the code, I discovered

-		  that the handler field in the AddHandler call is

-		  case-sensitive, a remnant of mBas' mcs heritage)

-

-		* Statements supported are 'If..Then..Else' ,

-		  'While..End While' and assignment statements. Simple

-		  operators (+, -, *, /, >, <, =) should also

-		  work. Other statements (For..Next, etc.) should be

-		  quite trivial to implement.

-	</ul>

-	

-	A lot of this stuff is implemented rebuilding proper expressions and 

-	statements on top of the classes provided by mcs (look at the grammar - 

-	mb-parser.jay - and compare it with cs-parser.jay, if interested).

-	

-** TODO-list

-

-	At this stage almost every element of the language must be still checked for 

-	conformance to MS'implementation.  Help is particularly needed for those areas 

-	I know little of (mcs internals are still quite obscure to me). I'd like to 

-	implement class properties, the missing statements, exception handling, 

-	structures and actual event support (not necessarily in this order). Once we 

-	have all this stuff set up and reasonably bug-free, more work could be done 

-	on helper functions and Object-vars handling.

-	 The goal of this document is to guide people through the setup of a Mono

-         framework in a Windows box. Because some people might want to just test

-         Mono a bit and use the compiler, etc, I have made two distinctions, one

-         for the Mono user that only wants to get precompiled binaries and another

-         for the one how wants to build Mono from the CVS and probably contribute

-         to the project actively. Each kind of user has to read the corresponding

-         part of this document. I hope a lot of Windows users will get a nice 

-         approach to the free software world by starting using Mono.

-<title>Introduction</title>

-

-<para>

-Mono is an open source implementation of the Common Language Infrastructure

-(CLI) specified in ECMA standard 335. It comes with a C# compiler and

-provides an extensible platform to develop and run applications that

-are interoperable with Microsoft .NET.

-</para>

-

-<para>

-Mono is not finished--it is a project still under development. As a

-result, installation and configuration may not be as smooth as you

-will be used to from other Linux or Windows applications. Nevertheless, 

-mono is in a state that will allow you to get it up and running and gain

-experience with it--which is, I would suggest, a very smart thing to do.

-</para>

-

-<para>

-This document is aimed at the mono beginner, and aims to present a complete

-view of a minimal installation, which will allow you to experiment with

-mono to some degree. It also describes some of those experiments. We

-expect that after reading this document you'll go on to do either of

-two things:

-<para>

-To work with mono, you first have to create a C# program. Open up 

-your favourite editor, and type in the following code:

-</para>

-<programlisting>

-using System;

-

-class Hello

-{

-public static void Main(String[] args)

-	{

-	Console.WriteLine("mono:: is alive and well...");

-

-	for (int i = 0; i < args.Length; i++)

-		Console.WriteLine("Argument {0} = {1}", i, args[i]);

-	}

-}

-</programlisting>

-

-<para>

-Save the file as hello.cs. To compile this into a working program, 

-type mcs hello.cs. If you get the following:

-</para>

-<programlisting>

- mcs hello.cs

-RESULT: 0

-</programlisting>

-<para>

-you know the compile worked fine. If you see some strange error

-messages including the word 'parser' somewhere, you made a mistake in

-your program. Fix this up first.

-</para>

-

-<para>

-You are now ready to execute your first mono program.  To execute 

-the code, type

-</para>

-

-<programlisting>

- mono hello.exe arg1 arg2 arg 3

-</programlisting>

-<para>

-(where we have given some arguments just for fun) and you'll 

-see the following:

-</para>

-

-<programlisting>

-mono:: is alive and well...

-Argument 0 = arg1

-Argument 1 = arg2

-Argument 2 = arg

-Argument 3 = 3

-RESULT: 0

-</programlisting>

-<para>

-As you can see, mono printed the line "mono:: is alive and well" 

-and printed the list of arguments. This completes the creation 

-and execution of your first mono program.

-</para>

-</sect2>

-

-<sect2 id="interpreter">

-<title>Interpreter</title>

-<para>

-But mono will allow you to do more. First of all, mono is the 

-compiled mono execution environment which uses the Just in 

-Time (JIT) compiler. Mono also comes with an interpreted 

-environment, which can be accessed using the command 'mint' 

-as follows

-</para>

-<programlisting>

- mint hello.exe arg1 arg 2

-mono:: is alive and well...

-Argument 0 = arg1

-Argument 1 = arg

-Argument 2 = 2

-</programlisting>

-<para>

-As you can see, it makes no difference to mono output which 

-environment you use, but what happens under the hood is very 

-different. If you use 'mono' as the command line tool, you 

-call the 'production' execution environment which will read 

-your portable executable (PE) file, and call the just in 

-time (JIT) compiler to compile the PE code down to machine 

-level code (in my case, an x86 architecture) after which 

-it is executed.

-</para>

-<para>

-If you use mint, the JIT is not used, and the PE code is 

-interpreted into x86 instructions for execution. In fact, 

-for our simple 'hello' mint is slightly faster. The point 

-is that the JIT compiler will take some time to compile the 

-code of our program and store it in some location in memory, 

-but the subsequent execution of the code is faster with mono.

-</para>

-

-<para>

-After this simple run of mono, it is time to play with some options. 

-I won't cover these in detail since there are quite a few, and also because

-I assume you downloaded mono to hack it around in the first place. So

-I'll leave some pointers.

-</para>

-

-

-<sect3 id="debugging">

-<title>Debugging</title>

-<para>

-Mono supports a debugging option when you specify the "-d" flag while running

-the runtime. Utilising this flag will get you a significant amount of output,

-and it may be an idea to specify an output file as well. The interesting aspect

-of this file is that it allows you to see to some extent (quite precisely,

-actually) what the JIT compiler is up to.

-

-<para>The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook,

-    or other written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure

-    everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with

-    or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.

-    Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher

-    a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered

-    responsible for modifications made by others.</para>

-

-<para>This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that

-    derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the

-    same sense.  It complements the GNU General Public License, which

-    is a copyleft license designed for free software.</para>

-

-<para>We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals

-    for free software, because free software needs free documentation:

-    a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms

-    that the software does.  But this License is not limited to software

-    manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject

-    matter or whether it is published as a printed book.  We recommend

-    this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction

-    or reference.</para>

-</sect3>

-

-<sect3 id="gfdl-1"> <title>APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS</title>

-

-<para>This License applies to any manual or other work that

-    contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be

-    distributed under the terms of this License.  The "Document", below,

-    refers to any such manual or work.	Any member of the public is a

-    licensee, and is addressed as "you".</para>

-

-<para>A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work

-    containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim,

-    or with modifications and/or translated into another language.</para>

-

-<para>A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter

-    section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship

-    of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall

-    subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall

-    directly within that overall subject.  (For example, if the Document

-    is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not

-    explain any mathematics.)  The relationship could be a matter of

-    historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or

-    of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position

-    regarding them.</para>

-

-<para>The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections

-    whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections,

-    in the notice that says that the Document is released under this

-    License.</para>

-

-<para>The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that

-    are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice

-    that says that the Document is released under this License.</para>

-

-<para>A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a

-    machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification

-    is available to the general public, whose contents can be viewed and

-    edited directly and straightforwardly with generic text editors

-    or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or

-    (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is

-    suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation

-    to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters.

-    A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup

-    has been designed to thwart or discourage subsequent modification

-    by readers is not Transparent.  A copy that is not "Transparent"

-    is called "Opaque".</para>

-

-<para>Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include

-    plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,

-    SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming

-    simple HTML designed for human modification.  Opaque formats include

-    PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited

-    only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the

-    DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the

-    machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output

-    purposes only.</para>

-

-<para>The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page

-    itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly,

-    the material this License requires to appear in the title page.

-    For works in formats which do not have any title page as such,

-    "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the

-    work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.</para>

-    either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License,

-    the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License

-    applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that

-    you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License.

-    You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the

-    reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute.

-    However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies.  If you

-    distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the

-    conditions in section 3.</para>

-

-<para>You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated

-    above, and you may publicly display copies.</para>

-<sect3 id="gfdl-3"> <title>COPYING IN QUANTITY</title>

-

-<para>If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more

-    than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you

-    must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly,

-    all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and

-    Back-Cover Texts on the back cover.  Both covers must also clearly

-    and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies.	The front

-    cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally

-    prominent and visible.  You may add other material on the covers

-    in addition.  Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as

-    they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions,

-    can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.</para>

-

-<para>If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to

-    fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit

-    reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent

-    pages.</para>

-

-<para>If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document

-    numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable

-    Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each

-    Opaque copy a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing

-    a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material,

-    which the general network-using public has access to download

-    anonymously at no charge using public-standard network protocols.

-    If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,

-    when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure

-    that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated

-    location until at least one year after the last time you distribute

-    an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of

-    that edition to the public.</para>

-

-<para>It is requested, but not required, that you contact the

-<para>
-Mono is an open source implementation of the Common Language Infrastructure
-(CLI) specified in ECMA standard 335. It comes with a C# compiler and
-provides an extensible platform to develop and run applications that
-are interoperable with Microsoft .NET.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Mono is not finished--it is a project still under development. As a
-result, installation and configuration may not be as smooth as you
-will be used to from other Linux applications. Nevertheless, mono is
-in a state that will allow you to get it up and running and gain
-experience with it--which is, I would suggest, a very smart thing to do.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-This document is limited in the following sense: it describes how to
-download a 'stable' version of mono as a 'tarball' and get it to run on
-your computer. I'm also assuming you run mono on Linux rather than
-on Windows. All the examples have been tested on a 'vanilla' Red Hat 7.3 
-installation.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-There are two items this document will <emphasis>not 
-</emphasis> cover: the first is how to self host the mcs compiler 
-under linux and the second is the graphical user environment 
-which is implemented as GTK#. These two interesting topics 
-are the subject of two more howto's that I'm planning.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-This document is also less useful for two types of people.

-<para> 
-If you are a very inexperienced linux user and want to know what mono is
-all about, there is an easier way to install mono. Go to mono.baselabs.org
-and download the rpm's ready for installation on your system. This site also
-runs a tutorial that is worth reading.
-</para> 
-</listitem> 
-<listitem> 
-<para> 
-If you are a very experienced user wanting to contribute to the mono code,

-There are several ways to get Mono running on your computer. This
-document will discuss only one of those: downloading the source tarball
-and utilising the make utilities to get mono up and running.  There is
-only one mono package to worry about if you are just after a 'base' install
-of mono: the mono runtime. This package, found under the name "mono-x.xx"
-has got a compiled version of the compiler built in.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-You'll be able to complete everything in this document if you just install
-the runtime, but taking a look at the compiler package is well worth the
-effort. The compiler is written in C# and is 'self hosting' which means it
-is able to compile itself. 
-</para>
-
-<para>
-As of this moment, it is my understanding that there are still some issues
-with the 'self hosting' bit of the compiler on linux, although this is 
-expected to work in later versions of mono. If you are just interested in
-finding out how mono will work under linux, I would not worry about the
-self-hosting bit for now. The self-hosting of the compiler will be the
-topic of a future howto.

-<para> 
-Installing the tarballs is done via GNU autoconf and
-automake. The general upshot of running autoconf and automake is that you
-can type <command>./configure</command> and then <command> make</command>
-to do the build.  
-Typing <command>make install</command> completes the installation of mono
-on your system.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-To build the mono runtime package, unzip the tarball to some useful
-location.  I tend to use <command>/usr/src</command> as the location,
-but you could really do it anywhere. For the install process, it is
-also a good idea to be 'root'.  The installation process will shuttle
-some executables into <command>/usr/local/bin</command> (more about
-that later).
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Unzipping the tarballs will have created two directories in <command>
-/usr/src/</command>, one called something like mono-x.xx and the other 
-mcs-x.xx. The one called 'mono' is the runtime environment, and this contains
-all that is initially needed to run mono and investigate its inner workings.

-<title> Garbage Collection</title>
-<para>
-To make the mint interpreter work with garbage collection, you first need to
-install a garbage collection package on your system. Mono works with
-Boehm Garbage collection, which is found at 
-<ulink url="http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/">

-followed by <command>make</command> and <command>make install</command>.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-There is one glitch to work around. The header file for the garbage collection
-<command>gc.h</command> is found in the <command>/usr/src/gc6.0/include
-</command> directory (at least on my system). The mono build process will break
-on this location: it is looking for the header file in some other place called
-<command>/usr/include/gc/</command> and won't be able to find the correct
-header file.

-But mono will allow you to do more. First of all, mono is the 
-compiled mono execution environment which uses the Just in 
-Time (JIT) compiler. Mono also comes with an interpreted 
-environment, which can be accessed using the command 'mint' 
-as follows
-</para>
-<programlisting>
-[hinne@taurus hello]$ mint hello.exe arg1 arg 2
-mono:: is alive and well...
-Argument 0 = arg1
-Argument 1 = arg
-Argument 2 = 2
-[hinne@taurus hello]$
-</programlisting>
-<para>
-As you can see, it makes no difference to mono output which 
-environment you use, but what happens under the hood is very 
-different. If you use 'mono' as the command line tool, you 
-call the 'production' execution environment which will read 
-your portable executable (PE) file, and call the just in 
-time (JIT) compiler to compile the PE code down to machine 
-level code (in my case, an x86 architecture) after which 
-it is executed.
-</para>
-<para>
-If you use mint, the JIT is not used, and the PE code is 
-interpreted into x86 instructions for execution. In fact, 
-for our simple 'hello' mint is slightly faster. The point 
-is that the JIT compiler will take some time to compile the 
-code of our program and store it in some location in memory, 
-but the subsequent execution of the code is faster with mono.
-</para>

-
-You can see what happens below (the thing to look for is the 
-'user' time: 0.1 seconds with mono and 0.06 seconds with mint):

-
-<para>The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook,
-    or other written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure
-    everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with
-    or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
-    Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher
-    a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered
-    responsible for modifications made by others.</para>
-
-<para>This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that
-    derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the
-    same sense.  It complements the GNU General Public License, which
-    is a copyleft license designed for free software.</para>
-
-<para>We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals
-    for free software, because free software needs free documentation:
-    a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms
-    that the software does.  But this License is not limited to software
-    manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject
-    matter or whether it is published as a printed book.  We recommend
-    this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction
-    or reference.</para>
-</sect3>
-
-<sect3 id="gfdl-1"> <title>APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS</title>
-
-<para>This License applies to any manual or other work that
-    contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
-    distributed under the terms of this License.  The "Document", below,
-    refers to any such manual or work.	Any member of the public is a
-    licensee, and is addressed as "you".</para>
-
-<para>A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work
-    containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim,
-    or with modifications and/or translated into another language.</para>
-
-<para>A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter
-    section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship
-    of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
-    subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall
-    directly within that overall subject.  (For example, if the Document
-    is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not
-    explain any mathematics.)  The relationship could be a matter of
-    historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or
-    of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
-    regarding them.</para>
-
-<para>The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections
-    whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections,
-    in the notice that says that the Document is released under this
-    License.</para>
-
-<para>The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that
-    are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
-    that says that the Document is released under this License.</para>
-
-<para>A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a
-    machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification
-    is available to the general public, whose contents can be viewed and
-    edited directly and straightforwardly with generic text editors
-    or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or
-    (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is
-    suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation
-    to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters.
-    A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup
-    has been designed to thwart or discourage subsequent modification
-    by readers is not Transparent.  A copy that is not "Transparent"
-    is called "Opaque".</para>
-
-<para>Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include
-    plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
-    SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming
-    simple HTML designed for human modification.  Opaque formats include
-    PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited
-    only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the
-    DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the
-    machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output
-    purposes only.</para>
-
-<para>The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page
-    itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly,
-    the material this License requires to appear in the title page.
-    For works in formats which do not have any title page as such,
-    "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
-    work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.</para>

-    the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
-    applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that
-    you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License.
-    You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the
-    reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute.
-    However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies.  If you
-    distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the

-
-<para>If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more
-    than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you
-    must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly,
-    all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
-    Back-Cover Texts on the back cover.  Both covers must also clearly
-    and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies.	The front
-    cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally
-    prominent and visible.  You may add other material on the covers
-    in addition.  Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as
-    they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions,
-    can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.</para>
-
-<para>If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to
-    fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
-    reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
-    pages.</para>
-
-<para>If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
-    numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable
-    Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each
-    Opaque copy a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing
-    a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material,
-    which the general network-using public has access to download
-    anonymously at no charge using public-standard network protocols.
-    If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
-    when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
-    that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
-    location until at least one year after the last time you distribute
-    an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of
-    that edition to the public.</para>
-
-<para>It is requested, but not required, that you contact the

-			<Mono newbie coders start file>
-	<h1> A little help for mono newbie coders </h1>
-
-
-	For those who are new to Mono and are impatient to contribute
-	with code (uhh... you are brave!!) here is the document you 
-	should read.
-
-	
-	You will see all Mono hackers say the same (great minds have
-	similar way of thinking): First, DO WRITE TESTS!!!. In order
-	to do that:
-	
-	<ul>
-		* Start with the NUnit Tests Guidelines.  In the cvs
-	    	  they are located at: mcs/class/doc/NUnitGuideli...
-
-		* But wait, this is a document for impatient
-	    	  people. So EVERYTHING should be here. Well, it is. 
-	</ul>
-
-
-	<h2> The NUnit Tests Guidelines document </h2>
-
-	Mono NUnit Test Guidelines and Best Practices
-
-	Authors: Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>
-	Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>
-	Last Update: 2002-03-02
-	Rev: 0.3
-
- <b> Purpose </b>
-
-	This document captures all the good ideas people have had 
-	about writing NUnit tests for the mono project. This document 
-	will be useful for anyone who writes or maintains unit tests.
-
- <b> Other resources </b>
-
-	- mcs/class/README has an explanation of the build process and
-	  how it relates to the tests.
-	- http://nunit.sourceforge.net is the place to find out about 
-	  NUnit
-
- <b> Getting Started </b>
-
-	If you are new to writing NUnit tests, there is a template 
-	you may use to help get started. The file is:
-
-	mcs/class/doc/TemplateTest.cs
-
-
-	(2.- This is the point two!. This file is just after the end 
-	of the guidelines. Copy/paste it in another buffer. And keep 
-	reading.)
-
-	Save a copy of this file in the appropriate test subdirecty 
-	(see below), and replace all the [text] markers with 
-	appropriate code. Comments in the template are there to guide 
-	you. You should also look at existing tests to see how other 
-	people have written them. 
-
-	mcs/class/corlib/Test/System.Collections/CollectionBaseTest.cs 
-
-	is a small one that might help.
-
-	(3.- You reached the third point. And as expected, it's just 
-	here to tell you that the content of CollectionBaseTest.cs is 
-	after the TemplateTest.cs code at the end of these 
-	guidelines.)
-
-	The directory that will contain your new file depends on the
-	assembly/namespace of the class for which you are creating the
-	tests. Under mcs/class there is a directory for each assembly. 
-	In each assembly there is a Test directory, e.g. 
-	mcs/class/corlib/Test. In the Test directory there are 
-	sub-directories for each namespace in the assembly, e.g. 
-	mcs/class/corlib/Test/Sytem. Put your new test file in the 
-	appropriate sub-directory under Test for the class you are
-	testing.
-
-	Once your test class is complete, you need to add it to the
-	AllTests.cs file in the same directory as your new test. Add a 
-	call to "suite.AddTest()" passing the name of your new test 
-	class's suite property as the parameter.  You will see examples 
-	in the AllTests.cs file, so just copy and paste inside there.
-
-	Once all of that is done, you can do a 'make test' from the top 
-	mcs directory.  Your test class will be automagically included 
-	in the build and the tests will be run along with all the 
-	others.
-
- <b> Tips </b>
-
- <b> Provide an unique error message for Assert() </b>
-
-	Include an unique message for each Assert() so that when the 
-	assert fails, it is trivial to locate the failing one. 
-	Otherwise, it may be difficult to determine which part of the 
-	test is failing. A good way to ensure unique messages is to use 
-	something like #A01, #A02 etc.
-
-    	Bad:
-<pre>
-	AssertEquals("array match", compare[0], i1[0]);
-	AssertEquals("array match", compare[1], i1[1]);
-	AssertEquals("array match", compare[2], i1[2]);
-	AssertEquals("array match", compare[3], i1[3]);
-</pre>
-    	Good:
-<pre>
-	AssertEquals("#A01", compare[0], i1[0]);
-	AssertEquals("#A02", compare[1], i1[1]);
-	AssertEquals("#A03", compare[2], i1[2]);
-	AssertEquals("#A04", compare[3], i1[3]);
-</pre>
-	Once you used such a number in an Assert(), don't change it 
-	later on - people might use it it identify the test in bug 
-	reports or in mailing lists.
-
- <b> Use AssertEquals() to compare things, not Assert(). </b>
-
-	Never compare two values with Assert() - if the test fails, 
-	people have no idea what went wrong while AssertEquals() 
-	reports the failed value.
-
-    	Bad:
-<pre>
-        Assert ("A01", myTicks[0] == t1.Ticks);
-</pre>
-    	Good:
-<pre>
-        AssertEquals ("A01", myTicks[0], t1.Ticks);
-</pre>
-
- <b> Constructors </b>
-
-	When writing your testcase, please make sure to provide a 
-	constructor which takes no arguments:
-
-<pre>
-        public class DateTimeTest : TestCase
-        {
-
-                public DateTimeTest() : base ("[MonoTests.System.DateTimeTest]") {}
-                public DateTimeTest (string name): base(name) {}
-
-        	public static ITest Suite
-                {
-                        get {
-                                TestSuite suite = new TestSuite ();
-        			return suite;
-        		}
-        	}
-        }
-</pre>
-
- <b> Namespace </b>
-
-	Please keep the namespace within each test directory
-	consistent - all tests which are referenced in the same
-	AllTests.cs must be in the same namespace. Of course you can
-	use subnamespaces as you like - especially for subdirectories
-	of your testsuite.
-	
-	For instance, if your AllTests.cs is in namespace "MonoTests"
-	and you have a subdirectory called "System", you can put all
-	the tests in that dir into namespace "MonoTests.System".
-
- <b> Test your test with the microsoft runtime </b>
-
-	If possible, try to run your testsuite with the Microsoft
-	runtime on Windows and make sure all tests in it pass. This is
-	especially important if you're writing a totally new testcase
-	- without this check you can never be sure that your testcase
-	contains no bugs ....
-	
-	Don't worry if you're writing your test on Linux, other people
-	can test it for you on Windows.
-	
-	Sometimes you may discover that a test doesn't show the
-	expected result when run with the Microsoft runtime - either
-	because there is a bug in their runtime or something is
-	misleading or wrong in their documentation. In this case,
-	please put a detailed description of the problem to
-	mcs/class/doc/API-notes and do also report it to the list -
-	we'll forward this to the Microsoft people from time to time
-	to help them fix their documentation and runtime.

-<h3>Introductory notes</h3>
-
-	<p>The intention of this document and the <a
-	href="http://www.go-mono.com/mono-roadmap.html">Mono
-	Roadmap</a> is to be a basis for discussion.  I want to build
-	on these two documents, and update as we get more insight into
-	the release process and the technologies we want to ship.
-
-<h3>Background</h3>
-
-	<p>At the 2003 PDC Microsoft introduced many new technologies,
-	which many of us are very excited about.  To me, it underlined
-	the importance of having a roadmap for users of Mono
-	technologies.  That way they know precisely what to expect
-	from us when.  We have been working on Mono for more than two
-	years, and it is important that we release a stable product to
-	the public.
-
-	<p>We have various degrees of maturity and feature
-	completeness in our code base, and I do not believe that we
-	should aim to be full implementation .NET 1.0 or .NET 1.1 in
-	our 1.0 release, that would just push the release at least for
-	another year .  The <a
-	href="http://www.go-mono.com/mono-roadmap.html">Mono
-	Roadmap</a> emphasizes this assumption.
-
-	<p>The 1.0 release is critical for the adoption of Mono on the
-	Linux environment, even if it is not as complete as the
-	Framework, lets get something stable, and fun to people to
-	use. 
-
-<h3>Mono 1.0: missing functionality.</h3>
-
-	<p>For the 1.0 release, there are a number of features that we
-	will have to complete, in no particular order:
-	
-	<ul>
-		<li>We need to fix corcompare and our cor-compare
-		pages to support both 1.0 and 1.1 API API compares.
-
-		We might want to move this outside of the Mono site,
-		to reduce the complexity of the HTML hackage, and use
-		ASP.NET to implement this.  Bonus points if we use
-		Piers' nice dynamic tree to load the CorCompare data
-		dynamically. 
-		
-		<li>Global Assembly Cache: Needed to support the
-		parallel installation of .NET 1.0 and 1.1 assemblies,
-		and to fix the various Assembly loading routines.
-
-		<li>PowerPC port.
-
-		<li>ECMA profile: We will like take care of this one
-		at Novell.
-
-		<li>Assembly signing: I do not know what is the state
-		of this feature currently in Mono, maybe Sebastien and
-		Zoltan could give us an update here.
-
-		<li>ASP.NET caching: Non-existant at this point, this
-		needs to be implemented. 
-		
-		<li>Stability of ASP.NET and Mod_Mono.  They are both
-		functional, but they fail under load.  Much debugging
-		and testing must go into these components.  As we use
-		more of it, we have found more little problems surface
-		on it. 
-
-		<li>Codebase audit: Duncan did an audit of Corlib, but
-		we must do an audit of all the assemblies that we we
-		are going to ship, just to get an idea of the major
-		areas missing.
-	</ul>
-
-	<p>The team at Novell will focus on these areas.  We of course
-	welcomes the contribution of the rest of the Mono team and
-	encourage the developers to focus on 1.0, to have a solid
-	release, and a solid foundation that can lead to 1.2
-
-	<p>We will use Bugzilla milestones to track these issues. 
-
-<h3>Synchronized releases</h3>
-
-	<p>It would be great if we can ship Mono 1.0 with Gtk# 1.0 and
-	a preview of Monodoc with the early documentation.  
-	
-<h3>Alpha components.</h3>
-
-	<p>Various Mono developers are working on areas that will not
-	make it into the 1.0 timeframe: JScript, WSE, VB.NET,
-	Windows.Forms, Generics.  We should continue to work on
-	those components, as they will come shortly after, and they
-	are probably more fun to develop than stabilizing the core. 
-
-<h3>New components: Whidbey and Longhorn features</h3>
-
-	<p>Everyone is probably very excited about the new features in
-	the Whidbey release of .NET, and most importantly the Longhorn
-	features.  I am sure that many of us will not resist the urge
-	to put some of the new assemblies on CVS.
-
-	<p>We will likely add a profile for those of you that want to
-	work on this, and can not wait to get your hands in the code,
-	although keep in mind that your contributions wont reach the
-	general audience until we successfully ship 1.0.
-	
-	<p>The things to keep in mind while adding code which is not
-	in .NET 1.0 and .NET 1.1:
-
-	<ul>
-		<li>Make sure you surround new classes and methods
-		with the appropriate define: NET_1_2 for things
-		available on the .NET 1.2 SDK (Whidbey) and NET_3
-		define for things only available on the Longhorn API.
-		We need this so that these methods do not appear on
-		the 1.0 and 1.1 builds.
-
-		<li>If you add generic types or methods, also surround
-		the method with GENERICS for now, since our compiler
-		can not currently build this code yet.   This is
-		redundant with the NET_1_2 define but important. 
-		
-		<li>For every assembly you update, make sure that you
-		also add the relevant AssemblyInfo versioning
-		information.  If possible, when you add methods from
-		.NET 1.2 to the build, also update the AssemblyInfo.cs
-		for the library.
-	</ul>
-
-	<p>There are three areas of new hot features:
-
-	<ul>
-		<li>Class library improvements (Whidbey, Mono 1.2
-		time frames).
-
-		<li>Indigo: They will release this in 2005 or 2006 and
-		 wont make it into the 2004 Whidbey .NET 1.2 release.
-
-		<li>Avalon: Definitely a Longhorn-bound feature.
-	</ul>
-
-	<p>Most code that will reach the users in the short time frame
-	(next year) will be related to the Whidbey improvements, so I
-	encourage developers to work on those pieces, as they are the
-	ones that will help Mono the most.  
-
-<h3>ASP.NET 2.0 plans</h3>
-
-	<p>Gonzalo will continue to coordinate this effort;  At this
-	time ASP.NET 2.0 features will not make it into Mono 1.0.
-	
-<h3>Avalon plans</h3>
-
-	<p>On the surface Avalaon seems like it uses something like
-	GdiPlus/Cairo for rendering.  That was my initial feeling, but
-	it turns out that they had to rewrite everything to have a
-	performing rendering engine, and implement some very advanced
-	rendering features that include compositing with video
-	streams, also their brushes seem to be fairly powerful.
-
-	<p>XAML, a new markup language that binds tags to .NET classes
-	was also presented, but this is the least interesting part.  A
-	tiny compiler translates the XAML source files into C# code.
-	The whole process is just like Glade, and should be easy to
-	do.
-
-	<p>The really elaborate parts are the rendering engine, and the
-	composition model for widgets.  It is a complete new toolkit,
-	and if we want to implement this one, we will have to have a
-	new toolkit on Unix, incompatible with everything else, maybe
-	stressing the importance of working with other open source
-	projects in defining a cross-toolkit theming strategy to
-	address this particular problem.
-
-	<p>A Mini-Avalon is easy to do, but a complete one will
-	require much interaction with other groups: the Cairo folks
-	are probably the most qualified to assist us.
-
-<h3>Indigo Plans</h3>
-
-	<p>Indigo is still an early product (<a
-	href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/Longhorn/understanding/pillars/Indigo/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnlong/html/indigofaq1.asp">FAQ</a>),
-	but it could benefit from continued development of our WSE1
-	and WSE2 components, later to bring some of the code to it.
-
-	<p>Again, since people are visibly excited about this
-	technology, we will lay down in the next few days a framework
-	to contribute to it.
-

-  Mono Project Roadmap

-
-<i>Last update: Jan 18th, 2004</i>
-
-<h3>Introduction</h3>
-
-	<p>This document describes the high-level roadmap for <a
-	href="http://www.go-mono.com">Mono</a>.  
-	
-	<p>The Mono project started in 2001 as an effort to implement
-	the .NET Framework to Unix.  To bring both the new programming
-	model based on the Common Language Infrastructure and C# as
-	well as helping people migrate their existing knowledge and
-	applications to Unix. Mono today supports a wide variety of
-	operating systems, CPUs and a large chunk of the functionality
-	available in the .NET Framework. 
-	
-	<p>At the October 2003 PDC conference a number of new
-	technologies were announced.  From the Mono release schedule
-	perspective, we should think about these technologies from
-	their release time standpoint, and the features that must be
-	supported.
-
-	<p>This document outlines the roadmap for the Mono project
-	from my perspective: what we can effectively deliver on the
-	dates outlined.  Since Mono is a large open source project,
-	things might change and new features can be incorporated
-	into the plan if external sources devote enough attention to
-	those problems.
-
-	<p>This is the timeline:
-	<p>

-	
-<h3>Background</h3>
-
-	<p>So far Microsoft has published two versions of the .NET
-	Framework: 1.0 and 1.1, the later with incremental updates to
-	the changes in 1.0
-
-	<p>The Mono project has been tracking some of the
-	improvements available in those two releases, some of the
-	highlights of our work so far are: 
-
-	<ul>
-		<li> Core: mscorlib, System, System.Security and
-		System.XML assemblies.
-
-		<li> ADO.NET: System.Data and various other database
-		providers.
-
-		<li> ASP.NET: WebForms and Web Services are
-		supported.  Work on WSE1/WSE2 has also started.
-
-		<li> Compilers: C#, VB.NET and various command line tools
-		that are part of the SDK.
-
-		<li> Open Source, Unix and Gnome specific libraries.
-	</ul>
-
-	<p>Other components like Windows.Forms, Directory.Services,
-	Enterprise Services and JScript are being developed but are not
-	as mature as the other components but are under development by
-	various people.
-
-	<p>Some other smaller and less used components do not have yet
-	a Mono equivalent (System.Management, System.Drawing.Design).
-
-<h3>Mono release strategy</h3>
-
-	<p>The levels of maturity of Mono fluctuate depending on the
-	development effort we have put into it, and the use we have
-	given to them.  For example, the virtual machine and the C#
-	compiler very mature, while less commonly used functionality
-	in Mono like Windows.Forms or VB.NET are still under heavy
-	development.
-
-	<p>Our strategy is to release the mature components as Mono
-	1.0, and have upcoming versions of Mono add extra
-	functionality.
-
-<h3>Mono 1.0 goals</h3>
-
-	<p>The Mono 1.0 release would include the following
-	components:
-
-	<ul>
-		<li>C# compiler.
-
-		<li>VM, with JIT and pre-compiler.
-		
-		<li>IL assembler, disassembler.
-
-		<li>Development and security tools.
-
-		<li>Core libraries: mscorlib, System, System.XML.
-
-		<li>System.Data and Mono database providers.
-
-		<li>System.Web: Web applications platform and Apache
-		integration module.
-
-		<li>System.Web.Services: client and server support.
-
-		<li>System.Drawing.
-
-		<li>System.DirectoryServices
-
-		<li>JIT support: x86 and PPC architectures
-		(interpreter available for other architectures).
-
-		<li>ECMA profiles: special build options to build
-		Mono as an implementation of the various ECMA profiles
-		will be available.
-
-		<li>Java integration through IKVM.
-
-		<li>Embedding interface for the runtime.
-	</ul>
-
-	<p>Packaging:
-	
-	<ul>
-		<li>mono: will contain the above features implementing
-		the .NET 1.1 API.
-
-		<li>mono-1.0-compat: Will include a build of the
-		libraries with the .NET 1.0 API, this is a
-		compatibility build for people running .NET 1.0
-		applications. 
-
-		<li>mono-unstable: Will contain a snapshot of the
-		other technologies under development for developer's
-		convenience, but will be unsupported at this time.
-		These include the Generics edition of the C#
-		compiler.
-
-		<li>mono-ecma: A build that only includes the ECMA
-		components.
-	</ul>
-	
-	<p>Release target: Q2/2004.
-
-	<p>Bug fix releases would be done on a monthly basis.
-
-	<p>For a detailed list, see the <a
-	href="mono-1.0.html">mono-1.0 feature list.</a>
-
-<h3>Microsoft's Whidbey</h3>
-
-	<p>To understand post 1.0 editions of Mono, it is important to
-	put it into perspective with the Microsoft Whidbey product, to
-	be released in 2004.
-	
-	<p>The new features in the Whidbey release of the .NET Framework
-	include:
-	
-	<ul>
-		<li><b>Generic types</b><br>
-		These introduce changes to the compiler, runtime and
-		class libraries.  
-
-		<li><b>ASP.NET 2</b><br>
-		Many tools to simplify web application development:
-		Master pages, new controls for common operations,
-		personalization and themes.
-
-		<li><b>Remoting</b><br>
-		New security channels and version-resistant remoting
-		(good news in the interop department).
-
-		<li><b>XML</b><br>
-		XQuery debuts on this release as well as an improved
-		XmlDocument system based on XPath: XPathDocument.
-
-		<li><b>Networking</b><br>
-		FTP client, Ssl streams.
-
-		<li><b>Console and Serial ports:</b></br>
-		Console terminal input/output is available as well as
-		serial port handling.
-
-		<li><b>Windows.Forms</b><br>
-		Layout containers finally appeared on Windows.Forms as
-		well as various new controls.
-
-		<li><b>ObjectSpaces</b><br>
-		An API for simpler data-base access.
-	</ul>
-
-<h3>Mono 1.2</h3>
-
-	<p>The Mono team is developing in parallel some features that
-	wont make it to the 1.0 release in stable form.  These will be
-	the foundation for the 1.2 release.  The focus of this release
-	is to track the core API for the .NET Framework 1.2, but
-	again, only a subset of the total framework will be
-	available.  
-
-	<p>Mostly, Mono 1.2 consists of components that were not
-	stable enough for Mono 1.0, but that would be mature at this
-	point, plus the incorporation of some new features from
-	Whidbey.  In addition to the Mono 1.0 components, this release
-	will add:
-
-	<ul>
-		<li>Generic types support: C# compiler, execution
-		system and core class libraries.
-
-		<li>ASP.NET 2.0 improvements.
-
-		<li>Remoting improvements from Whidbey.
-
-		<li>System.XML: simpler improvements from Whidbey,
-		lacking the large additions (XQuery for example).
-
-		<li>Console and Serial ports support.
-
-		<li>New compilers: VB.NET and JScript support.
-
-		<li>WSE1/WSE2 implementations.
-
-		<li>System.Windows.Forms officially debuts with .NET
-		1.0 API;  1.2 API available as an unstable addition.
-	</ul>
-
-	<p>This release will by default provide .NET 1.2 APIs, but
-	compatibility libraries for 1.0 and 1.1 will be distributed in
-	the mono-compat package.  The unstable components of Mono will
-	be distributed on the `mono-unstable' package, the libraries
-	in this release will be unsupported. 
-
-	<p>Release target: Q4/2004.
-
-<h3>Mono 1.4</h3>
-
-	<p>A refresh update on the Mono 1.2 release containing the
-	missing components from the previous release and complete any
-	under performing pieces.  Updates to System.Xml, ASP.NET and
-	Windows.Forms to match the .NET 1.2 API.
-
-	<p>Release target: Q2/2005.
-	
-<h3>Peer projects</h3>
-
-	<p>Other projects like the debugger, the documentation
-	browser, Java integration through IKVM and Gtk# will remain on
-	their own schedules.  This page will be updated to contain
-	that information when it becomes available.
-
-<h3>Unscheduled activities</h3>
-	
-	<p>A missing component of Mono is the Code Access Security
-	(CAS).  This functionality is not needed in today's Mono as
-	currently Mono is being used to run fully trusted
-	applications, and we are not using it on embedded scenarios
-	where assemblies would have different trust levels.
-
-	<p>This is an important component, but requires three major
-	pieces of work:
-
-	<ul>
-		<li>Runtime support for implementing the security
-		demands.
-
-		<li>A guidelines document outlining what and where
-		must have security demands in place.
-
-		<li>A full audit of our class libraries: method by
-		method
-	</ul>
-
-	<p>All of these are major pieces of work, and we currently
-	have no plans to implement any of those.  A volunteer effort might be
-	able to help with the runtime requirements and the document,
-	but until those are done, we are unlikely to start doing any
-	work on the actual class library audit and instrumentation. 
-	
-<h3>Mono and WinFX: 2006</h3>
-
-	<p>WinFX is the name given to the new set of libraries that
-	makes up .NET in the Longhorn operating system: the existing
-	.NET set of class libraries, plus the new functionality
-	available in the OS.
-
-	<p>WinFX adds things like storage facilities (WinFS), a
-	new versatile communications stack (Indigo) and a new
-	eye-candy packed GUI programming system (Avalon).
-
-	<p>Although WinFS, Avalon and Indigo are very exciting
-	components, at this time it is too early to tell when those
-	components will be available for Mono.  Open source developers
-	will very likely start work on these, but since they are still
-	far from being officially released, they are not in the radar
-	at this point.
-
-<h3>Unsupported technologies</h3>
-
-	<p>Some technologies are very hard to implement or are being
-	phased out by components in the Longhorn time frame.  In some
-	cases, we feel that they are not crucial to the future of the
-	open source desktop.
-	
-	<p>System.EnterpriseServices and System.Management come to
-	mind, and we are unlikely to put any resources into the task.
-	We would gladly host the code if someone cares to implement
-	it, but they would likely remain unsupported features of Mono.
-
-<h3>Mono Developer Strategy</h3>
-
-	<p>Mono Developers should read the <a
-	href="mono-hacking-roadmap.html">Mono Hacking Roadmap</a>

-* Mono hacking TODO list
-
-	From time to time people that want to contribute to Mono ask
-	on the mailing list what they can help with. The generic
-	answer is always:
-	<ul>
-	<li> Write documentation.
-	<li> Write regression tests.
-	<li> Complete the implementations of the class libraries.
-	<li> Help fix the bugs filed in our bugzilla database.
-	</ul>
-
-	The proposed tasks are very important for the Mono project and
-	are suitable for people that can dedicate even just an hour
-	per week to contribute.  But some people may need something
-	more focused to work on, such as students that want to do a
-	thesis on their contribution to Mono. For such people (and
-	also for professors who want ideas for thesis regarding JIT or
-	VM technologies), here is a list of tasks that need attention.
-
-	The estimated time to complete any of the tasks is between 1
-	week to several months to accomodate for different hacking
-	possibilities.
-
-	Note on the time estimates: they are very rough estimates, a
-	smart and dedicated hacker can complete the tasks in half of
-	the minimum time, a part-time hacker that also has a social
-	life can take more than double the max time, but there's
-	nothing to worry as long as progress is being done.
-
-	If some people (or group of people) want to take on a task,
-	they should write to the mono-devel mailing list and in the
-	relative bugzilla bug report. Discussions about how to
-	implement a feature or additional information on the task
-	should be mailed to the list or in the bugzilla report as well
-	so that people can keep informed on the progress or have the
-	information needed to start contributing.
-	
-	Mono is an excellent platform for research on JITs, virtual
-	machines and specifically the CLR because it provides an
-	advanced free software implementation that can be used as a
-	basis for more optimizations, new approaches to problems and
-	new features.
-
-	There are different areas of interest where high-level
-	contributions can be made:
-
-	<ul>
-	* <b>JIT compiler</b>: tasks can be: adding more optimizations, reducing 
-	compile time, porting to different architectures.
-
-	* <b>AOT compiler</b>: optimizing the compiler output and the AOT loader,
-	better support for multiple application domains.
-	
-	* <b>VM runtime</b>: optimizing the runtime data structures, experimenting with
-	different garbage collectors, integration with different component models.
-	
-	* <b>Class library</b>: many opportunities in the implementation of regular 
-	expressions, Xml related technologies (XPath, XLST, etc).
-
-	* <b>Compilers</b>: writing compilers, interpreters and runtimes for langauges
-	so that they run on the CLR (using Reflection.Emit support, for example).
-	</ul>
-
-Happy hacking!

-		needed to write a simple dynamic linker and/or binary object writer. Bonus poinst if

-MonoDoc XML, our format for multilingual API documentation stored outside of
-source files, is very similar to the output of Microsoft's csc /doc.  Minor
-alterations have been made to ease human parsing and hand-editing, but
-the majority of the tags are identical.  In fact, many of the descriptions
-and examples below are taken from the ECMA C# Language Specification with
-little or no alteration.
-
-This document provides a list of all available MonoDoc XML tags, with
-syntax and examples.  A complete example can be found in
-<a href="#appendix-a">Appendix A</a>, and both a <a href="#">DTD</a> and
-<a href="#">XSD schema</a> will be available very shortly.

-** Definitions and Examples
-
-*** <a name="c">&lt;c&gt;</a>
-
-This tag can be used to mark short, inline fragments of text that should 
-be considered source code or program output.  User agents should render 
-this tag in a special -- likely monospace -- font.  For larger sections, 
-use <a href="#code"><code>&lt;code&gt;</code></a>.
-
-**** Syntax
-
-<pre>
-&lt;c&gt;code or output text&lt;/c&gt;
-</pre>
-

-</pre>
-
-*** <a name="code">&lt;code&gt;</a>
-
-This tag can be used to mark one or more lines of text as source code or

-
-**** Syntax
-
-	<code>&lt;code&gt;source or program output&lt;/code&gt;</code>
-
-**** Example
-
-<pre>
-&lt;summary&gt;
-    This method changes the point's location by the given
-    x- and y-offsets.
-    &lt;example lang="C#"&gt;
-        A C# example:
-        &lt;code&gt;
-            Point p = new Point(3, 5);
-            p.Translate(-1, 3);

-
-<blockquote>
-<em>name="eventname"</em><br />
-The name of the event being documented.
-</blockquote>
-		
-**** Example
-
-<pre>
-&lt;event name="Click"&gt;
-    &lt;summary&gt;
-        Occurs when the control is clicked.
-    &lt;/summary&gt;
-    &lt;data&gt;
-        The event handler receives an argument of type EventArgs
-        containing data related to this event.
-    &lt;/data&gt;
-    &lt;remarks&gt;
-        &lt;para&gt;The ControlStyles.StandardClick style must be set

- <p><a href="http://www.mysql.com/articles/dotnet/">Exploring MySQL 
- in the Microsoft .NET Environment</a> is an article
- by Mr. Venu who is a MySQL AB developer.</li>
-
- <p>Testing for Mono's Mono.Data.MySql and ByteFX's ByteFX.Data.MySqlClient is below.
-    
-** Current Status
-
- Current Status of the MySQL providers:
-
-<ul>
-
-	<li>ByteFX.Data.MySqlClient
-		<ul>
-			<li>Build and Runs on Microsoft .NET and Mono</li>
-			<li>Works with SQL# (command-line and GTK# GUI versions)</li>

-			<li>MySQLCommandBuilder now implemented</li>

-			<li>Transaction support now implemented (not all table types support this)</li>

-			<li>GetSchemaTable fixed to not use xsd (for Mono)</li>

-			<li>Driver is now Mono-compatible</li>

-			<li>TIME data type now supported</li>

-			<li>More work to improve Timestamp data type handling</li>

-			<li>Changed signatures of all classes to match corresponding SqlClient classes</li>

-			<li>Protocol compression  using <a href="http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/default.asp">SharpZipLib</a></li>

-			<li>Named pipes on Windows now working properly</li>

-			<li>Work done to improve Timestamp data type handling</li>

-			<li>Implemented IEnumerable on DataReader so DataGrid would work</li>

-			<li>Speed increased dramatically by removing bugging network sync code</li>

-			<li>Driver no longer buffers rows of data (more ADO.Net compliant)</li>

-			<li>Conversion bugs related to TIMESTAMP and DATETIME fields fixed</li>

-			
-		</ul>
-	</li>
-	
-	<li>Mono.Data.MySql (deprecated)
-		<ul>
-			<li>Currently, only works with version 3.23.x of MySQL</li>
-		
-			<li>can connect</li>
-	
-			<li>can execute non-queries via ExecuteNonQuery()</li>
-	
-			<li>can execute aggregates via ExecuteScalar() and retrieve the
-				single row/single column result</li>
-	
-			<li>can execute queries and retrieve results using a data reader.</li>
-	
-			<li>a schema DataTable has been partially 
-				implemented which is returned from GetSchemaTable() in MySqlDataReader.</li>
-	
-			<li>a DataTable in a DataSet can be filled via a MySqlDataAdapter</li>
-		
-			<li>The shared client libraries 
-				between windows version and linux are different: windows has libmySQL.dll 
-				while linux has libmysqlclient.so.  This is handled by the 
-				file etc/mono/config which is mapped by the mono runtime in knowing
-				which native shared library to load.  In cvs, this file is mono/config.in and
-				can be modified with a text editor.</li>
-	
-			<li>Works in the SQL# command-line and GTK# GUI version</li>
-		</ul>
-	</li>
-	
-</ul>
-
-** Action plan
-
- The current plan for the MySQL data providers:
- 
- <ul>
-	<li>ByteFX.Data.MySqlClient
-		<ul>
-			<li>Testing and fixes</li>
-			<li>Implement missing features</li>
-			<li>Only fixes for bugs to build and run MySQLClient on Mono
-			will be accepted in mono-cvs.  Most bugs and any new features will
-			go into sourceforge cvs.  Anytime there is a release of MySQLClient,
-			the source code will be copied from sourceforge cvs to mono-cvs</li>
-			<li>Releases of MySQLClient are determined by Reggie Burnett and releases
-			of Mono are determined by Miguel de Icaza</li>
-			<li>Implement any missing features or fix any bugs in Mono to get new
-			features all of MySQLClient to work on Mono</li>
-		</ul>
-	</li>
-	<li>Mono.Data.MySql (deprecated)
-		<ul>
-			<li>Testing and bug fixes</li>
-			<li>Mono.Data.MySql is deprecated and therefore maybe removed
-			at a later date.  It will stay in Mono for now because other
-			programs maybe using it now.</li>
-		</ul>
-	</li>
-</ul>
-
-** Testing for MySQLNet provider (ByteFX.Data.MySQLClient)
-
-<ul>
-	<li>Have access to a MySQL database or download it from
-		<ul>
-			<li><a href="http://www.mysql.com/downloads/index.html">MySQL AB</a></li>
-		</ul>
-	</li>
-	
-	<li>MySQLNet can be gotten from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysqlnet/">here</a> and the 
-	binary assembly ByteFX.Data.dll needs to be	installed 
-	in the same place as the mono class libraries.</li>
-	
-	<li>MySQLNet requires <a href="http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/default.asp">SharpZipLib</a> which is 
-	a Zip Library written in 100% C#.  This is used for compression/decompression of data
-	sent/received over the network.  The SharpZipLib binary assembly SharpZipLib.dll should 
-	be installed in the same place as the mono class libraries.</li>
-	
-	<li>Has a ConnectionString format: 
-<pre>
-"Server=hostname;" +
-"Database=database;" +
-"User ID=username;" +
-"Password=password"
-</pre>
-	</li>
-	<li>C# Example:

-
-@item Oct 21st, 2003: Mono Community at Novell Forge
-
-	Mono Developers that are looking for a public repository for
-	hosting their projects can now use <a
-	href="http://forge.novell.com">Novell Forge's</a> which hosts
-	a <a
-	href="http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/community/?monocomm">Mono
-	Community</a>.
-
-	Novell Forge offers mailing lists, cvs repository, bug
-	tracking and mailing list services and all the other services
-	you expect.  Mono will continue to be hosted in our own CVS
-	repository, and using our <a href="anoncvs.html">anonymous CVS
-	servers</a>
-
-@item Oct 13th, 2003: SPARC V9, HPPA, Internationalization, GdiPlus
-
-	Dick Porter has checked in our rewrite of the international
-	substrate in Mono that uses the <a
-	href="http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/">International
-	Components for Unicode</a> library from IBM.  This means that
-	we got CultureInfo support through the whole code base now.
-
-	Alexandre Pigolkine has checked-in the new implementation of
-	System.Drawing.  We have now dropped the old implementation
-	with multiple-backends that we had, and replaced it with an
-	implementation that P/Invokes into GDI+.  A GDI+
-	implementation on top of <a
-	href="http://www.cairographics.org">Cairo</a> is used on Unix
-	systems.  This step vastly simplifies the development and
-	maintenance of System.Drawing. 
-
-	There are plenty of updates to Mono as well, we encourage you
-	to read the <a
-	href="http://www.go-mono.com/monologue">Monologue</a> to keep
-	an eye on recent developments.
-
-	Bernie Solomon just <a
-	href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-devel-list/2003-October/002460.html">checked
-	in</a> 64-bit support for SPARC v9 and HPPA into the Mono
-	runtime.  This also improves the SPARC-32 support.

-
-@item Sep 16th, 2003: WineLib, Authenticode, Generics, Xslt updates, Wsdl compiler, WSE.
-
-	<b>WineLib:</b> Vladimir has added new libraries to the Wine
-	process, which we will soon bring into our packages: the
-	various Windows common dialogs can now be used (screenshots:
-	<a href="images/colordlg.png">here</a>, <a
-	href="images/fontdlg.png">here</a>, <a
-	href="images/filedlg.png">here</a> and <a
-	href="images/finddlg.png">here</a>.
-
-	Johannes has patches to have Wine track the Gtk theme,
-	screenshot here (link got broken).
-
-	<b>Security:</b> New authenticode support from Sebastien has
-	been checked into CVS.
-
-	<b>Xslt:</b> Plenty of conformance updates to the managed
-	implementation of Xslt, as well as breaking the libxslt speed
-	barrier.  Our managed implementation is now faster than the
-	C-based libxslt that we used before.
-
-	<b>Generics:</b> Work continues on generics support, feel free
-	to try it out.  The compiler is currently on a separate
-	directory until we stability it (gmcs) and you need to compile
-	the class libraries with the `generics' profile to try it
-	out.  Sample generic programs are included in the CVS module. 
-
-	<b>Wsdl:</b> We now have Wsdl support in Mono: a wsdl compiler
-	command line tool, and support on ASP.NET to generate the wsdl
-	file from an .asmx file.
-
-	<b>AOT:</b> Many robustness updates to the ahead-of-time
-	compiler and a new locking and threading system that avoids
-	having "big locks" around the mono kernel, and moves to a
-	fine-grained locking system.  The design includes a lattice to
-	avoid deadlocks.
-
-	<b>Dogfooding:</b> We are now running Mono's ASP.NET on
-	go-mono.com to find problems.  It is currently hosting our
-	Monodoc documentation.  The <a
-	href="http://www.go-mono.com/docs/index.html">Apache module
-	version</a> and the <a href="http://www.go-mono.com:8080/">XSP
-	version</a>.
-
-	<b>WSE:</b> The Web Services Enhancements season has begun.
-	The Microsoft.Web.Services namespace and classes are now
-	checked into CVS.  
-
-@item Sep 1st, 2003: Ice for Mono;  XmlSerializer generators; Monodoc progress.
-
-	<b>Ice:</b> Vladimir has checked into CVS (Module ginzu) an
-	implementation of <a href="http://www.zeroc.com">ZeroC's</a>
-	<a href="http://www.zeroc.com/ice.html">ICE</a> protocol.  It
-	is implemented using Remoting.  If you were looking for an
-	efficient binary protocol to use with Remoting, this is it.
-
-	ICE is simpler to use than CORBA, and was created by people
-	who were deeply involved in CORBA and wanted to fix its
-	problems (you can see a <a
-	href="http://www.zeroc.com/iceVsCorba.html">list of
-	differences</a>).
-
-	<b>XmlSerializer</b>: Lluis has checked in a new technology
-	for use in our XmlSerializer: the XmlSerializer code
-	generator.  Currently our XmlSerializer generates a
-	description of instructions for serializing data, these
-	instructions are later interpreted while using it: Reflection
-	is used to pull all the data.  The code generator is the first
-	step into turning the Serializer from an intepreter into a
-	compiler and improving the performance of it.
-
-	Currently was used internally to implement the WSDL
-	serializer, in the future it will just be part of the standard
-	serialization process.
-
-	<b>MonoDoc:</b> New providers!  Thanks to <a
-	href="http://www.jaggersoft.com/">Jon Jagger</a> for providing
-	us with his master XML files for the C# specification we now
-	have integrated the C# spec into Monodoc.  Another provider is
-	the Error provider: now we include all the C# compiler errors
-	in the help system.
-
-	Alp has contributed various user interface improvement, and
-	updated our list widget for key navigation; Ben made the
-	matches window more useful and Joshua has helped us clean up
-	the ECMA provider even more.
-
-@item Aug 14th, 2003: Mono 0.26 has been released
-
-	A new version of Mono is available, the new features include:
-	<a href="http://www.cairographics.org/">Cairo support</a>, <a
-	href="http://remoting-corba.sf.net">Remoting.Corba</a>
-	support, as well as a managed XSLT implementation.  
-
-	Existing features have been improved vastly: better
-	Windows.Forms, runtime, faster compiler, web services, better
-	compliance to the spec and more. 
-
-	Check out the <a
-	href="http://www.go-mono.com/archive/mono-0.26.html">Release
-	notes</a> for details.
-
-@item Aug 9th, 2003: Python for .NET Preview 2 available;  Mono Documentation site up.
-
-	Brian Lloyd has <a
-	href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2003-August/015313.html">announced</a>
-	the availability of his Python binding to .NET.  This works
-	with .NET and Mono.  For more information about it, see
-	Brian's site at <a href="
-	http://zope.org/Members/Brian/PythonNet/">http://zope.org/Members/Brian/PythonNet/</a>
-
-	We have uploaded the current Mono Documentation (core
-	libraries and Gtk#) to <a
-	href="http://mono.ximian.com:8080"/>http://mono.ximian.com:8080</a>.
-	The site is running the ASP.NET edition of <a
-	href="archive/monodoc-0.6.tar.gz">MonoDoc 0.6</a> on XSP.
-
-@item Aug 6th, 2003: Winforms samples
-
-	Timothy Parez is coordinating the effort to create sample
-	programs that exercise the various Windows.Forms controls.  We
-	are using this as graphical regression test suite for the Mono
-	implementation.
-
-	The screenshots of the various widgets, together with the
-	source code is available on the <a
-	href="http://www.nullenvoid.com/mono/wiki/index.php/WineSamples">WineSamples</a>
-	page on the <a
-	href="http://www.nullenvoid.com/mono/wiki/">Mono Wiki</a>.
-
-	A new cvs module called `winforms' has been created that
-	contains the source code for the samples.  To run the samples,
-	you can install the WineLib packages available from our <a
-	href="download.html">download page</a>.
-
-@item Aug 5th, 2003: New Apache Module architecture: 1.3 and 2.x supported
-
-	Gonzalo rearchitected our Apache module for hosting Mono and
-	ASP.NET.  The previous incarnation hosted a Mono runtime on
-	each Apache process, which lead to a slow setup for webforms.
-	The new setup uses a shared mono process for all the incoming
-	requests.  Daniel later improved up the new architecture and
-	added dual support, so now in addition to Apache 2.x, we
-	support Apache 1.3 with the same codebase.
-
-	The new code is available on CVS, on module `mod_mono', and
-	now requires an XSP installation to be available. 
-
-@item Aug 4th, 2003: Ximian acquired by Novell.
-
-	Today <a href="http://www.novell.com">Novell</a> acquired <a
-	href="http://www.ximian.com">Ximian</a>.  The press release is
-	available <a
-	href="http://www.ximian.com./about_us/press_center/press_releases/index.html?pr=novell">here</a>.
-
-	Mono and Gnome form an integral part of the Novell strategy.
-
-@item Jul 30th, 2003: Remoting.CORBA, Managed XSLT.
-
-	Today Lluis announced that Mono CVS contains all the fixes to
-	run <a
-	href="http://remoting-corba.sourceforge.net/">Remoting.CORBA</a>:
-	both client and server channels work; We are interested in people
-	testing it with other ORBs.
-
-	Ben checked-in today his managed implementation of Xslt that
-	we mentioned on Jul 19th; This uncovered various limitations
-	on the XPath implementation, which Piers has swifly removed.
-	Monodoc, NUnit and our Corcompare work with it.  Since this is
-	implementation is not completed yet, we still support the
-	libxslt-based version by default.  For more details on how to
-	try the new XSLT implementation, see <a
-	href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-devel-list/2003-July/001681.html">Ben's
-	post</a>
-
-@item Jul 27th, 2003: Wine packages and Daily Snapshots 
-
-	MonoWine packages (used to run System.Windows.Forms) software
-	are now available from our (<a
-	href="download.html">download</a> page).  You can track the
-	progress on our <a
-	href="http://www.nullenvoid.com/mono/wiki/index.php/WineSamples">Wiki
-	page.</a>
-
-	We're now building daily snapshots of Mono.  They come in
-	three distinct flavors:
-
-	<ul>
-		* mono snapshot tarballs - These are 'release-style' tarballs and
-		  contain everything necessary to setup a new
-		  installation from scratch.  This includes the Mono
-	 	  runtime and all the assemblies we distribute.
-
-		* monocharge tarballs - These tarballs contain only
-		  the assemblies built on that day.
-
-		* monolite tarballs - These tarballs contain a copy of
-		  'corlib.dll', 'mcs.exe', 'System.dll', 'System.Xml.dll' and
-		  'Mono.CSharp.Debugger.dll'. They can be used to
-		  re-bootstrap an out-of-sync installation.
-	</ul>
-
-	The daily builds are availble here: <a href="http://go-mono.com/daily">http://go-mono.com/daily</a>
-
-	If you find that the builds are broken, please notify Duncan.
-
-@item Jul 19th, 2003: Recent developments
-
-	Since Mono has matured, we have limited the news on the site
-	to major accomplishments that are finished, but this week, it
-	is worth devoting some time to talk about some of the
-	work-in-progress projects that are progressing.
-
-	Jackson has added support to the IL assembler for generics as
-	well as to the PEAPI library, and it has assembled its first
-	generic program.  Support for handling images with generics
-	has been on our file format reader for a while, but the JIT
-	engine is still incomplete. 
-
-	On the XSLT world, Atsushi and Ben continue to make big
-	improvements.  Ben recently got the prototype managed XSLT
-	implementation to run its first stylesheet.  Although
-	currently Mono uses libxslt to implement the System.Xml.Xsl
-	namespace, to have a fully .NET compliant implementation we
-	will need a managed version, and this is the beginning of it.
-
-	Lluis recently posted an update on the <a
-	href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-devel-list/2003-July/001550.html">state
-	of WSDL</a> in Mono.  Now that the web services runtime is
-	ready, the WSDL compiler becomes more important as a
-	development tool.
-
-	Atsushi continues his work on the DTD validating reader in
-	System.Xml, as well as improving our XML Schema support.
-
-@item Jul 14th, 2003: New build system;  IPV6 support.
-
-	Peter Williams has contributed a new build system that
-	addresses many of the annoyance we had with our previous build
-	system.  He has worked on this for a few weeks, and Gonzalo
-	helped test it and get it into CVS.  We no longer have the
-	historical dual build system: make for Unix and nant for
-	Windows.
-
-	This system also offers the opportunity to compile our class
-	libraries with different profiles (.NET 1.0, .NET 1.1 and the
-	various ECMA subsets).
-
-	Peter explains the new build system <a
-	href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-devel-list/2003-July/001506.html">here</a>
-
-	Jerome's IPV6 code has been checked into CVS; With Peter's new
-	build system, we will be able to expose it (as part of the
-	NET_1_1 build).
-
-@item Jul 9th, 2003: ASP.NET web services, coverage tools.
-
-	Web Services keep advancing: now we also support server-side
-	authoring of Web Services as well as web service clients
-	(which shipped in Mono 0.25).  This works using our ASP.NET
-	runtime, so it works with either XSP or the Apache module. The
-	new Web Services work from Lluis added the missing bits:
-	<ul>
-		<li> .asmx files.
-		<li> Method calls with complex parameters (whatever XmlSerializer can currently serialize, which is a quite a lot).
-		<li> ref and out parameters.
-		<li> Soap headers (In, Out and InOut).
-		<li> Soap extensions, both global (configured in web.config) and particular to methods (configured using attributes).
-	</ul>
-
-	For more details, see Lluis <a href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-devel-list/2003-July/001449.html">post</a>
-
-	GUI-wise: Work on <a href="http://xr.xwin.org">Xr</a> to
-	implement System.Drawing continues.  This will provide a full
-	GDI+ implementation for Mono, and this will be hooked up into
-	Gtk# and System.Windows.Forms.
-
-	MonoDoc keeps moving along, with a new web-based version
-	coming up next, and we are also exploring a collaborative
-	extension to allow people to contribute documentation through
-	their web browsers.
-
-	Zoltan's Coverage analysis tool has been checked into CVS.
-	With this tool it is now possible to find which class library
-	code paths are missing regression tests.  The module is
-	`monocov'.  Details are <a
-	href="http://www.nexus.hu/vargaz/">here</a>.  A fresh Gtk#
-	version is available now.
-
-	Jean's remoting-based Soap implenentation is also maturing.
-
-@item Jun 26th, 2003: Mono 0.25 has been released.
-
-	We have released Mono 0.25.  A list of the new features is
-	available <a href="archive/mono-0.25.html">here</a>.  
-
-	Packages for Windows, and various Linux distributions are
-	available on our <a href="download.html">download</a> page.
-
-@item Jun 17th, 2003: Web Services client; Profiling hooks
-
-	Lluis and Gonzalo have checked into CVS the support for web
-	services in the Mono runtime.  This allows Mono to work as a
-	web services client.  We still require a WSDL compiler to
-	compile the initial stub, but Erik has the beginning of a WSDL
-	compiler ready and Atsushi has continued work on his
-	experimental Xml Schema to C# class generator.  
-
-	As part of this, the Mono Http runtime has been rewritten to
-	increase reliability, scalability and conformance to the
-	specs.  Also our io-layer has been extended to not have
-	arbitrary limits.  This was done as part of our collaboration
-	with SourceGear.
-
-	Paolo has commited the new pluggable profiling API to the Mono
-	runtime: now the profiler is built as a module, and a new code
-	coverage analysis has been checked in (and Zoltan already
-	added improvements to it).
-
-	Mark's Mozilla bindings continue to improve, and we will shortly
-	migrate the Mono documentation browser to use Mozilla, to take
-	advantage of the tutorial's use of CSS.
-
-	Jackson's work on the IL assembler and Ben on running
-	regression tests have provided us with a very needed tool in
-	the Mono toolkit.  One of the last missing pieces on the SDK.
-
-	On the crypto world, we got Sebastien's certificate viewer
-	checked into CVS and the crypto code keeps advancing by leaps
-	and bounds.
-
-	Alexandre and Aleksey Work continues on Windows.Forms on top
-	of Wine and Gtk# (the former for full compatibility, the later
-	for ease-of-authoring).
-
-	Cesar checked in the beginning of the semantic analysis code
-	for his JScript compiler, and will be working on it full time.
-
-@item Jun 11th, 2003: SourceGear and Ximian announce partnership
-
-	Ximian, Inc., the leading provider of desktop and server
-	solutions enabling enterprise Linux adoption, today announced
-	that SourceGear Corporation will use Mono\x{2122} Project
-	technology to offer cross-platform versions of its
-	products. In addition, the companies have entered into a
-	development partnership under which Ximian will provide
-	custom Mono development to enable delivery of SourceGear

-
-	Sebastien Poliot has made a lot of progress, he reports that
-	DES and TripleDES have been fixed;  Rijndael and CFB modes
-	still have problems in some configurations and some areas that
-	are not supported by the .NET framework.
-
-	Last week we created a new <a
-	href="http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-winforms-list">mailing
-	list</a> to discuss the Mono Winforms implementation.
-
-	Tim has started a full C# implementation of the TDS protocol
-	and the providers, and Brian continues his work on his ODBC
-	binding.  
-
-	Rachel Hestilow has also checked in a binding for GConf.  This
-	binding <a
-	href="http://toxic.magnesium.net/~hestilow/gconfsharp/intro.html">is
-	unique</a> in that it uses some features in the CLI to support
-	complex data types, and allows the user to keep only one
-	representation of the types instead of two (the master types
-	is defined in CLI-land).  Also Property Editors (<a
-	href="http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/shots/gconf-shot.png">shot</a>)
-	simplify the creation of user interfaces that bind their
-	configuration to backend keys, following the <a
-	href="http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/">GNOME
-	Human Interface Guidelines.</a>
-
-	Martin is now on vacation, but before leaving he produced a
-	number of documents detailing the state of the debugger.  The
-	major missing feature is full support for debugging unmanaged
-	applications (it requires dwarf-2 handlers for types).  We
-	will do some polishing of the user interface (<a
-	href="http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/shots/debugger-4.png">new
-	shot</a>) to expose the existing and rich functionality to the
-	users and try to release a preview of the debugger at the same
-	time as Mono 0.17.
-
-@item Oct 14th, 2002: Crypto, Database work, Debugger, Documentation.
-
-	Brian, Daniel and Rodrigo have been busy working on the ODBC
-	provider for Mono.  Daniel posted some <a

-	about the ODBC.NET</a> provider.
-
-	Also Sebastien Pouliot has been improving the various
-	cryptographic classes in Mono, something that we had not done
-	in quite some time.  We are looking for a way to handle
-	big-nums.  We need either a managed or unmanaged set of
-	classes for handling large numbers, and some volunteers to
-	expose this functionality to C# (Either as an internal
-	assembly, or as a set of P/Invoke, Internal call wrappers).
-
-	Martin has got our debugger to support adding breakpoints at
-	file/line combos.  This was more complex than generic
-	breakpoints in routines, because these breakpoints are set on
-	routines that probably have not been JITed just yet.  Martin's
-	focus now is on stabilizing our debugger and aim for a public
-	release of it.
-
-	We have also imported the ECMA documentation into a separate
-	module, and with the help from Scott Bronson we will have the
-	necessary XSLT tools to finish our native documentation
-	browser for Mono.  This together with the work from Adam will
-	be the foundation for the <a href="classlib-doc.html">Mono

-
-@item Oct 9th, 2002: Various Mono updates.
-
-	Brian Ritchie, Daniel Morgan, Rodrigo Moya and Ville Palo have
-	been working on various database providers.  The MySQL has
-	seen a lot of work, and a new ODBC provider is now on CVS and
-	more extensive regression tests have been checked in.
-
-	Dick Porter is our background hero and keeps fixing the
-	low-level bugs in the portability layer.  Now the Mono handle
-	daemon should be a lot more robust and will no longer leave IPC
-	regions.  Gonzalo Paniagua has initiated the migration of XSP
-	into the System.Web class libraries now that we have a
-	complete HttpRuntime implementation.  This means that you are
-	able to embed the ASP.NET processor into any web server you
-	want.  This also includes support for the system-wide
-	configuration file `machine.config'.
-
-	Martin Baulig has been busy with the Mono Debugger, you can see how

-
-	Dietmar Maurer and Paolo Molaro are still busy working on our
-	new optimized JIT/ATC engine and are making great progress.
-	The code base has been designed to ease the implementation of

-	software project.
-
-	This time the Hall of Fame welcomes Sergey Chaban.  Sergey has
-	been a long time contributor to the project, from the early
-	work on the class libraries that were critical to Mono's
-	origin: every time you use a Hashtable in Mono, it runs
-	Sergey's code, to the low-level optimizations on the JIT
-	engine and to his work on ILASM and the PEToolkit. 
-
-	
-@item Sep 16th, 2002: Documentation Tools, ILASM, Debugger, Mono LDAP, Winforms
-
-	Adam Treat has started moving the documentation universe again.  We
-	have a new strategy to document our APIs (given that we have
-	chosen <a href="classlib-doc.html">not to document the code
-	inline</a>).  This includes the use of a master reference file
-	that will hold the entry points to document.  All master files
-	for our assemblies have been checked into CVS now.
-
-	Sergey Chaban's Mono.PEToolkit and ILASM tools have been
-	checked into CVS.  Although ILASM is old and will soon be
-	updated, we wanted to get the build issues sorted out.
-
-	Martin Baulig's Mono Debugger is still on its early stages,
-	but you can run and run step by step your C# code and C code
-	(including the Mono runtime).  Dwarf-2 is required to compile
-	your code.  The regular step, step-into, and assembly-level
-	step and step-into are supported.  And comes with a Gtk#
-	UI. The debugger is written mostly in C# with some C glue
-	code.  Most of the work is on the engine, we will be working
-	on making a good UI in the future.
-
-	Chris Toshok of the Hungry Programmer's fame has checked in
-	Mono.Directory.LDAP, a C# wrapper for the LDAP libraries.
-	This is the substrate for implementing the
-	System.DirectoryServices assembly.
-
-	Andrew has also continued with some of the cryptographic
-	classes implementation.
-
-	After much public debate, we have chosen a new <a
-	href="winforms.html">strategy to implement winforms</a>.
-	Implementing a Gtk, Qt or Aqua based version of Winforms was
-	going to be almost as complex as implementing Wine itself.  So
-	the new strategy is to only roll out a WineLib-based
-	implementation.

-
-	The first, deserved, entry goes to

-
-@item Looking for volunteers
-
-	We are looking for volunteers to help complete various pieces
-	of Mono and help move the project forward, we need
-	contributions to:
-
-	<ul>
-		* More tests to the existing class libraries.
-	
-		* Finish existing class libraries, check our <a
-		href="class-status.html">class status</a> pages to see
-		all the missing things.  There are open tasks all over
-		the place: XML, Database access, enterprise services,
-		configuration, ASP.NET, Drawing APIs, and more.
-
-		* Since we have now ASP.NET running, we would like to 
-		create an ASP.NET application to maintain our class
-		library documentation.
-
-		We have some special needs (read them <a
-	 	href="classlib-doc.html">here</a>).     There is a
-		prototype written using Windows.Forms, but we believe
-		it will be faster to have this done using ASP.NET (and
-		it is also a nice way of stress testing it).
-
-		* Support for the VB runtime: we need contributions
-		to make our VB runtime mature enough to host
-		applications compiled with the VB.NET to run with
-		Mono.
-
-		* We need people to help write the documentation: you
-		can start editing our XML files by hand, and once we

-
-	Paolo today got mono to complete host itself on Linux.  This
-	means that we can now compile the `corlib' using the Mono C#
-	compiler and the Mono runtime.
-
-	Compiling the corlib was rather tricky, because the types that
-	the compiler uses during the compilation process will come
-	from the source code it is compiling.  
-
-	After a few months of work, we have finally fleshed out all
-	the remaining bugs.  Now the next step is to update the makefiles
-	to compile with the Mono tool-chain.
-
-	A recapitulation:
-	<ul>
-		* The Mono C# compiler was able to compile itself on December 28th, 2001.
-		  The resulting image contained errors though.
-
-		* The Mono C# compiler was able to self-compile in on
-		  January 3rd, 2002.  Becoming a self-hosting compiler on Windows.
-
-		* The Mono runtime matured enough by March 12, 2002 that it
-		  was able to bootstrap the Mono C# compiler on Linux using our interpreter.
-		  This means that our development tool was self sufficient.
-
-		* On March 26th, the JIT engine was fixed, so we could use this to
-		  run the compiler on Linux.
-
-		* Martin fixed the remaining bugs in the compiler that stopped it from
-	 	  compiling the `corlib'.  The resulting image still contained errors though.
-
-		* On July 8th, Radek got the PowerPC port to bootstrap
-		  the C# compiler.  This is important, because it exposed
-	  	  various tricky issues in a big-endian system.
-
-		* Today: we can bootstrap the compiler using libraries
-		  and the compiler compiled with itself on Linux.  The process is complete.
-	</ul>
-
-	In the meantime, Dietmar has quietly implemented the remaining
-	pieces of Marshalling in the Mono runtime.   This is very
-	important for the Gtk# guys to move on with their bindings.
-
-	To make things more interesting, he replaced most of the
-	architecture specific code generation for trampolines
-	(delegates, invocations, function and p/invoke trampolines) to
-	use CIL.  This CIL is then compiled on the flight by the JIT
-	Compiler engine.  By doing this, we have reduced the burden to
-	port the JITer to new architectures, and that our trampoline
-	code is cross platform.

-	Mono's first birthday</a>.
-
-	In a year, we have achieved plenty:
-	<ul>
-		* 94 contributors with CVS access (84 non-Ximian developers).
-		* A complete CLI implementation:
-		<ul>
-			<li> A fast and performing x86 JIT engine (inlining, constant propagation).
-			<li> An interpreter for other systems (PPC, Sparc, StrongArm).
-		</ul>
-		* A self-hosting C# compiler, which can compile its class libraries.
-		* 37,140 file changes in CVS.
-		* 92,000 lines of C code.
-		* 437,000 lines of C# code (compiler, classes, tests)
-		* A working core for ASP.NET and ADO.NET.
-		* Major subsystems are functional: RegularExpressions,
-		  System.XML, XML.Schema, System.Data, System.Web.
-		* The Gtk# project, which is maturing rapidly.

-
-	Thanks to everyone who has made Mono possible with their
-	feedback, regression tests, their comments, their help on the mailing
-	list, code contributions, complete classes, bug reporting, the
-	countless hours of bug hunting.  This project would not have
-	been possible without every contribution.  
-
-	It has been a great year for everyone involved in the
-	project.  I think we have built a new and exciting community.
-
-	Now we have a solid foundation to build on, so this next year
-	looks even more exciting: not only because we will see more
-	Mono applications, but we will begin using Mono as an
-	`library' to be linked with applications that want to get
-	scripting-like features; Gtk# is our ticket to create nice
-	GNOME applications; And we will be developing CORBA bindings
-	to integrate with other object systems.
-
-	Also, for those interested in optimizations and tuning, this
-	year we will get to play with more advanced optimizations and
-	all kinds of interesting research ideas for improving Mono
-	code generation.
-
-	A special thanks to the Mono developers at Ximian for managing

-	Mark). Hopefully we will be seeing many more exciting
-	applications like these in the near future.
-
-	Dietmar has been moving a lot of the architecture specific
-	code in the JIT engine to our internal representation.  This
-	means that porting the JIT is simpler now, as there is less
-	architecture-specific code to maintain.  The inliner, constant
-	folder and constant propagation are also done at the
-	architecture independent layer.
-
-	Gonzalo is now running the sample ASP.NET applications on
-	Linux with the Mono runtime.  It still needs polishing though,
-	and help with the various ASP.NET controls would be
-	appreciated.  The ASP.NET community seems more poor than the
-	PHP community, we need to have a few open source controls to
-	do things dynamic rendering (libart+gdk-pixbuf again can do
-	most of the work), charts and components like the kind of
-	thing you see in the PHP universe: to bring nice GPL code to
-	the masses of Windows developers, lure them into the world of

-	Martin Baulig fixed the remaining bugs that prevented MCS to
-	compile our corlib.  The compilation was tricky because of the way
-	MCS bootstraps the compile (internally mcs uses the types that are
-	being defined at that point to perform compares).
-
-	Martin and Paolo have been working hard on fixing the
-	remaining issues.  Currently 102 test pass and 15 fail with
-	our resulting corlib.
-
-	Jesus' SoapFormatter classes are now in CVS.
-
-	I have been redoing the type lookup system for MCS.  The
-	interesting bit is that I did most of this work on an airplane
-	using MCS itself.  Which is a good test that the compiler is 
-	now a good development tool.
-
-	Duncan, Mike and Rachel have been hard at work with Gtk#, now
-	there are bindings for the GtkHTML widget (the one used by
-	Evolution's composer).  And Rachel also got the beginning of GNOME
-	bindings, that should simplify application development.
-
-	A big thanks goes to Dennis Hayes for getting the
-	Windows.Forms work together, and committing so many stubs for Windows.Forms.

-
-	Many news in Mono-land this week so far:
-
-	Mike Kestner got bindings for GtkHTML last night for Gtk#,
-	this is using GtkHTML 2.0.  
-
-	On Monday Piers Haken <a
-	href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2002-June/000380.html">contributed</a>
-	the core to support XPath in Mono: most of the w3c spec is
-	implemented (modulo a few pending bits).
-
-	Dick checked in his implementation of the Process classes:
-	process forking and waiting support committed, with some functions to
-	query status.  This was complex as we had to emulate the Win32
-	environment, but this is another step to be fully compatible.
-	This means for example that any process can check on the
-	status of any other process (without the parent/child relationship)
-
-	Of course, those interested
-	in only the Unix semantics can always P/Invoke the Unix calls.

-	Some updates from the hacking lines:
-
-	<b>The web:</b> Patrik Torstensson last week contributed the
-	http runtime support and started work on thread pools.  This
-	is part of the ASP.NET support.
-
-	<b>Docs:</b> John Barnette, John Sohn and Adam Treat have been
-	hacking on MonoDoc.
-
-	<b>ADO.NET:</b> Daniel Morgan and Rodrigo Moya have been
-	working on the <a href="ado-net">ADO.NET</a> support, and got
-	the first signs of life this week (we can connect, insert
-	rows; do transactions: commit/rollback; SQL errors and
-	exceptions work).  Check <a
-	href="mailing-lists.html">mono-patches</a> for all the
-	goodies.
-
-	<b>Optimizations:</b> A number of optimizations in the runtime
-	made the compiler twice as fast this week:
-
-	Early this week Patrik started the string
-	rewrite in the runtime.  Today Dietmar finished the
-	constructors and deployed the new layout. 
-
-	Paolo got the JIT engine to generate profiles, which were in
-	turn used to find hot spots in Reflection, which he improved.
-
-	Daniel Lewis (of Regex fame) noticed the performance issues
-	with our current array layout, and contributed a new array
-	representation.
-
-	At the same time Dietmar started the the JIT inline code and
-	implemented constant propagation.  These two optimizations
-	together are very powerful.
-
-	<b>Bug fixing:</b> And of course everyone has been helping out
-	with the bug fixing (Duncan, Gonzalo, Jonathan, Miguel, Nick,
-	Ravi, Sergey)
-
-
-@item Apr 18, 2002
-
-	Dietmar's inlining for the JIT engine just landed into

-	We will soon have the first non-Microsoft C# implementation!
-
-@item Dec 18, 2001
-
-	JIT: More work on our IO abstraction layer (Dick). 
-
-	JIT: exception handling for unmanaged code (Dietmar)
-
-	System.Reflection: Support for PropertyInfo and
-	PropertyBuilder as well as the various queries for MethodBase.
-
-	C#: Pre-processor; Rewrite of MemberLookup which fixed many of
-	the outstanding issues.  More bug fixing allows it to compile
-	more programs.
-
-@item Dec 14, 2001
-
-	Dietmar has improved the register allocation and now Mono performs
-	two to three times as fast as it did yesterday.  Amazing.

-	The compiler keeps moving along, explicit interface
-	implementation is there.
-
-@item Dec 11, 2001
-
-	The JIT engine can now run all the compiler regression tests as 
-	well as assorted other programs, many more opcodes added
-	recently.  Currently the JIT engine uses a very simplistic register
-	allocator (just enough to allow us to focus on feature completeness)
-	and that will be the next major task to improve performance and
-	reduce spills and reloads. 
-
-	On the C# compiler front: language features are now pretty
-	much complete.  The big missing tasks are unsafe code support,
-	visibility, explicit interface implementation plus static flow
-	analysis.  There are many small bugs that need to be addressed.
-
-	You can get your copy of the <a href="snapshots">latest Mono</a>

-	Paolo today got the Mono C# compiler running <a

-	program is executed.
-
-	Mutator unary operators (++ and --) in the compiler are fully
-	functional, they used to only work on variables, and now they
-	are complete.
-
-	To sum things up: The Mono C# compiler is written in C# and
-	uses the .NET classes to get its work done.  To make this work
-	on Linux work has to happen in various fronts:
-<ul>
-		* The C# compiler is being worked on and can compile
-		  many programs now (our test suite at this point is 
-		  made up of 40 tests).
-
-		* The class libraries need to be mature enough to support
-		  the compiler, particularly System.Reflection.Emit (which is 
-		  what Paolo has been working on lately). 
-
-	  	  The compiler currently requires 103 classes from the
-		  .NET runtime (you can get the list by running: <b>monodis --typeref mcs.exe</b>
-
-		* The interpreter should be mature enough to run the actual
-		  compiler byte codes and the corlib bytecodes.

-	</ul>
-
-** Action Plan
-	<ul>
-		<li>Current focus is on filling up the missing pieces (Data adapters
-		mainly) and schema support.</li>
-	
-		<li>We need help building libgda on Windows though.  libgda
-		builds find on linux though.</li>
-
-		<li>Need to make the OleDb provider compatible with the OleDb provider in Microsoft .NET</li>
-	</ul>
-	
-** Testing OleDb with libgda's PostgreSQL provider
-
-<ul>
-	<li>Requires a working mono and mcs</li>
-	<li>Requires Linux because the OleDb provider uses libgda and libgda only
-	works on Linux.</li>
-	<li>Connection String format: "Provider=providerName;...".  providerName is the
-	name of the Provider you use, such as, PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.  The elipsis ...
-	means that the connection parameters are dependent upon the provider being used and
-	are passed to libgda for connecting.  Such paramters, can be: Database, User ID, Password,
-	Server, etc...</li>
-	<li>See the test TestOleDb.cs found at mcs/class/System.Data/System.Data.OleDb</li>
-	<li>C# Example for Mono's System.Data.OleDb:

-	<li>ADO.NET Data Provider for <a href="http://www.oracle.com/">Oracle</a> databases</li>
-
-	<li>Exists in namespace System.Data.OracleClient and assembly System.Data.OracleClient</li>
-
-	<li>Works on Windows and Linux</li>
-
-	<li>Works with Oracle 8i and 9i.</li>
-
-	<li>Uses the Oracle CLI (Call Level Interface) which is a C library (API) for the Oracle Client 
-		software</li>
-
-	<li>Internally, the OracleClient provider has OCI abstracted to an object-oriented programming model</li>
-
-	<li>Created by Daniel Morgan and Tim Coleman</li>
-
-	<li>Bugs with Mono or the data provider should be reported 
-	in Mono's Bugzilla <a href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com/">here</a>.  If you

-	create one <a href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com/createaccount.cgi">here</a>.</li>
-	
-</ul>
-	
-** Current Status
-
-<ul>
-	<li>OracleConnection can connect and disconnect to an Oracle 8i or 9i database on 
-	Windows and Linux via OCI (Oracle Call-level Interface)</li>
-	
-	<li>Can have multiple connections with different transactions where each transaction is
-	separated from the others, so a rollback or commit in one transaction 
-	does not affect the other.</li>
-	
-	<li>Can execute simple DML SQL statements, such as, 
-	INSERT a row into the EMP table via the OracleCommand's ExecuteNonQuery method</li>
-	
-	<li>Can retrieve data via ExecuteReader and OracleDataReader.  Currently, 
-	supports character, numeric, some date data types.  ExecuteScalar
-	also works.</li>
-
-	<li>Simple input parameters (character and numeric data) can now
-	be used in SQL queries.  Output parameters do not yet work.</li>
-			
-	<li>OracleException and Error handling exists now.</li>
-
-	<li>Message handling needs to be added for non-critical messages
-	received from Oracle</li>
-	
-	<li>Handling of various data types need to be added.</li>
-	
-	<li>Data Adapter exists, and a DataSet can be filled using it.</li>

-* Updates
-
-	<b>Sep 20, 2001:</b> Microsoft has just announced some changes
-	to passport that are rather interesting.  This document
-	reflects the Passport system without taking into account the
-	new changes.
-
-	Read about it <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2001/sep01/09-20passport.asp">here</a>.
-
-	For an analysis of security problems with passport, check <a
-	href="http://avirubin.com/passport.html">http://avirubin.com/passport.html</a>.
-	The bottom line is that you should not put any sensitive
-	information on passport.
-
-	I have received many comments from people, and I have updated
-	the page accordingly.  From removing incorrect statements, to
-	fixing typos, to include mentions to other software pieces.
-
-	I also corrected my statement about IIS and a trojan horse, I
-	should read a more educated press in the future.  My apologies
-	to Microsoft and its employees on this particular topic.  IIS
-	did not have a trojan horse built in.
-
-* Microsoft Hailstorm and Passport
-
-	Microsoft Passport is a centralized database hosted by
-	Microsoft that enhances the consumer experience with the Web
-	by providing a single logon system that they can use across a
-	number of participant web sites.
-
-	As you might know by now from our extensive <a
-	href="faq.html">FAQ</a>, the Mono project has nothing to do
-	with Microsoft Hailstorm or <a
-	href="http://www.passport.com">Microsoft Passport.</a>
-
-	Still a lot of people have asked us our opinion on them.
-
-** Passport
-
-	Passport is important not because of it being a breakthrough
-	technologically speaking, but because the company is in a
-	position to drive most people toward being suscribers of it.
-
-	At the time of this writing passport is required to use the
-	free mail service <a href="http://www.hotmail.com">Hotmail</a>
-	to get customized support for the <a
-	href="http://www.msn.com">MSN portal</a>, <a
-	href="http://msdn.microsoft.com">Microsoft Developers
-	Network</a> and according to the original announcement from
-	Microsoft <a href="http://www.americanexpress.com">American
-	Express</a> and <a href="http://www.ebay.com">EBay</a> will be
-	adopting it. 
-
-	There is already a <a
-	href="http://www.passport.com/Directory/Default.asp?PPDir=C&lc=1033">Large
-	list</a> of participating sites.
-
-	There are many current users of it and Microsoft will be
-	driving more users towards Passport as it <a
-	href="http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-6343275.html">integrates
-	it</a> in their upcoming release of Windows.  
-
-	Microsoft has also <a
-	href="http://www.passport.com/Business/JoinPassportNetwork.asp?lc=1033">developed
-	a toolkit</a> to enable current web merchants to integrate
-	their services with passport.
-
-	To the end user, there is a clear benefit: they only have to
-	log into a single network and not remember multiple passwords
-	across sites on the internet.  Companies that adopt passport
-	will have a competition advantage over those that dont.
-	Microsoft lists a list of <a
-	href="http://www.passport.com/Business/Default.asp?lc=1033">benefits</a>
-	to companies. 
-
-
-** The problems of Passport
-
-	There are a number of concerns that different groups have over
-	Passport.  Sometimes I have some, sometimes I do not.  But
- 	overall, consumers and businesses can have better solutions.
-
-	<ul>
-		* <b>Single Point of Failure:</b> As more services and
-	 	components depend on remote servers, functionality can
-	 	grind to a halt if there is a failure on the
-	 	centralized Passport system.  
-
-		Such a failure was predicted, and we recently <a
-		href="http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-6473003.html">witnessed</a> 
-		got a lot of people worried.  
-
-		The outgage lasted for seven days.  Think what this
-	 	could do to your business.
-
-		* <b>Trust:</b> Not everyone trusts Microsoft to keep
-	 	their information confidential.  Concerns are not only
-	 	at the corporate level policy, but also the fact that
-	 	the source code for Microsoft products is not
-	 	available, means that trojans or worms could be built
-	 	into the products by malicious engineers.  
-
-		Various government officials in non-US countries also
-		have a policy that no state sensitive information can
-		be held by foreign companies in foreign soil.   A natural
-		matter of national security to some.
-
-		* <b>Security:</b> With a centralized system like
-	 	Passport, imagine the repercussions of a malicious
-	 	hacker gaining access to the Passport database.
-	 	Personal information and credit card information about
-	 	almost everyone using a computer could be stored there.
-
-		Hackers have already <a
-	 	href="http://slashdot.org/articles/00/10/27/1147248.shtml">broken
-	 	into Microsoft</a> in the past.  And the company was
-	 	unable to figure out for how long their systems had
-		been hacked. 
-
-		Security holes have been found in <a
-		href="http://slashdot.org/articles/00/04/14/0619206.shtml">IIS
-		in the past.</a>  If all the world's data is stored on
-		a central location, when a single security hole is
-		detected, it would allow an intruder to install a
-		backdoor within seconds into the corporate network
-		without people ever noticing. 
-
-		Microsoft itself has been recently hit by worms,
-		imagine if all your business depended on a single
-		provider for providing all or your authentication
-		needs
-	</ul>
-
-	Microsoft might or might not realize this.  The idea behind
-	Passport is indeed a good one (I can start to get rid of my
-	file that keeps track of the 30 logins and passwords or so
-	that I use across the various services on the net myself).
-
-** Alternatives to Microsoft Passport
-
-	An alternative to Microsoft Passport needs to take the above
-	problems into consideration.  Any solution of the form `We
-	will just have a competing offering' will not work.
-
-	The system thus has to be:
-
-	<ul>
-		* <b>Distributed:</b>  The entire authentication
-		system should not create an internet `blackout' in the
-		case of failure.
-
-	 	A distributed system using different software
-		platforms and different vendors would be more
-		resistent to an attack, as holes in a particular
-		implementation of the server software would not affect
-		every person at the same time.  
-
-		A security hole attack might not even be relevant to
-		other software vendors software.
-
-		* <b>Allow for multiple registrars:</b> Users should
-		be able to choose a registrar (their banks, local
-		phone company, service provider, Swiss bank, or any
-		other entity they trust.
-
-		* <b>Mandate good security measures:</b> As a
-		principle, only Open Source software should be used
-		for servers in the registrar, and they should conform
-		to a standard set of tools and software that can be
-		examined by third parties.
-	</ul>
-
-	An implementation of this protocol could use the DNS or a
-	DNS-like setup to distribute the information of users with the
-	possibility of replicating and caching public information
-	about the user.  
-
-	For instant messaging (another piece of the Hailstorm bit),
-	you want to use a non-centralized system like Sun's <a
-	href="http://www.jxta.org">JXTA</a>.  Some people mailed me to
-	mention Jabber as a messaging platform and other people
-	pointed out to the <a
-	href="http://java.sun.com/products/jms/">Java Message
-	Service</a>.   The JMS does support a number of very
-	interesting features that are worth researching.
-
-	It could also just use the user e-mail address as the `key' to
-	choose the registrar (msn.com, hotmail.com -> passport.com;
-	aol.com -> aol.passport.com; you get the idea).
-
-	The <a
-	href="http://www.soapware.org/xmlStorageSystem">xmlStorage</a>
-	idea from <a href="http://www.scripting.com">Dave Winer</a>
-	could be used to store the information.
-
-	A toolkit for various popular web servers could be provided,
-	authenticated and should be open sourced (for those of you who
-	think that a binary program would give more security and would
-	prevent people from tampering: you are wrong.  You can always
-	use a proxy system that "behaves" like the binary, and passes
-	information back and forth from the real program, and snoops
-	in-transit information).
-
-	Good cryptographers need to be involved in this problem to
-	figure out the details and the possible insecure pieces of a
-	proposal like this.
-
-** Implementation: In short
-
-	To keep it short: <b>DNS, JXTA, xmlStorage.</b>
-
-
-** Deploying it
-
-	The implementation of such a system should be a pretty
-	straightforward task once security cryptographers have
-	designed such a beast.  
-
-	The major problems are:
-
-	<ul>
-		* <b>People might just not care:</b> In a poll to US
-		citizens a couple of decades ago, it was found that
-		most people did not care about the rights they were
-		given by the Bill of Rights, which lead to a number of
-		laws to be passed in the US that eliminated most of
-		the rights people had.  
-
-		* <b>The industry will move way too slow:</b>
-		Microsoft's implementation is out in the open now: it
-		is being deployed, and soon it will be insinuated to
-		many, many users.  The industry needs to get together
-		soon if they care about this issue.
-
-		By the time the industry reacts, it might be too
-		late. 
-	</ul>
-
-** Passport and Mono
-
-	The .NET class libraries include a Passport class that
-	applications might use to authenticate with Passport.  Since
-	we do not have information at this point on the exact protocol
-	of Passport, it is not even feasible to implement it.
-
-	If at some point the information is disclosed, it could be
-	implemented.  
-
-	If a competing system to Passport existed, we could probably
-	hide all the authentication information to use a number of
-	different passport-like systems.
-
-	If a user does not want to use Passport at all, he could
-	always turn it off (or completely remove the class from the
-	library).  After all, this is free software.
-
-	Currently, we are too far from the point where this is a real
-	issue. 
-
-** Passport and endangering Open Source.
-
-	A few people have said: `Mono will allow Passport to be
-	available for Linux and that is bad'.  This is plain
-	misinformation.
-
-	Currently, you can obtain Passport for Linux from Microsoft
-	itself and deploy it today on your Web server.  Mono does not
-	even enter the picture here.  Go to passport.com and download
-	the toolkit and you will see with your own eyes that passport
-	is <B>already</b> available for Linux. 
-
-** Disclaimer
-
-	This is just a group of personal thoughts of mine that I have
-	placed here because I get asked this question a lot lately.
-	The views of this page are not a statement from my employer
-	(Ximian, Inc).
-
-	This is not part of Mono.  We are not trying to deal with this
-	problem. 
-
-	Nat Friedman (Ximian's co-founder) has his own ideas on how a
-	competing system to Passport could be designed, but I will let
-	<a href="http://www.nat.org/">him</a> post his own story.

-* Writing better performing .NET and Mono applications
-
-<center>
-Miguel de Icaza (miguel@novell.com)<br>
-Ben Maurer (bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net)
-</center>
-
-	The following document contains a few hints on how to improve
-	the performance of your Mono/.NET applications.
-
-	These are just guidelines, and you should still profile your
-	code to find the actual performance problems in your
-	application. It is never a smart idea to make a change with the
-	hopes of improving the performance of your code without first
-	measuring. In general, these guidelines should serve as ideas
-	to help you figure out `how can I make this method run faster'.
-	
-	It is up to you to figure out, `Which method is running slowly.'
-
-** Using the Mono profiler
-	
-	So, how does one measure what method are running slowly? A profiler
-	helps with this task. Mono includes a profiler that is built
-	into the runtime system. You can invoke this profiler on your program
-	by running with the --profile flag.
-
-<pre class="shell">
-	mono --profile program.exe
-</pre>
-
-	The above will instruct Mono to instrument your application
-	for profiling.  The default Mono profiler will record the time
-	spent on a routine, the number of times the routine called,
-	the memory consumed by each method broken down by invoker, and
-	the total amount of memory consumed.
-
-	It does this by asking the JIT to insert a call to the profiler
-	every time a method is entered or left. The profiler times the
-	amount of time elapsed between the beginning and the end of the
-	call. The profiler is also notified of allocations.
-	
-	When the program has finished executing, the profiler prints the
-	data in human readable format. It looks like:
-
-<pre class="shell">
-Total time spent compiling 227 methods (sec): 0.07154
-Slowest method to compile (sec): 0.01893: System.Console::.cctor()
-Time(ms) Count   P/call(ms) Method name
-########################
-  91.681       1   91.681   .DebugOne::Main()
-  Callers (with count) that contribute at least for 1%:
-           1  100 % .DebugOne::Main(object,intptr,intptr)
-...
-Total number of calls: 3741
-...
-Allocation profiler
-Total mem Method
-########################
-     406 KB .DebugOne::Main()
-         406 KB     1000 System.Int32[]                                  
-  Callers (with count) that contribute at least for 1%:
-           1  100 % .DebugOne::Main(object,intptr,intptr)
-Total memory allocated: 448 KB
-</pre>
-
-	At the top, it shows each method that is called. The data is sorted
-	by the total time that the program spent within the method. Then
-	it shows how many times the method was called, and the average time
-	per call.
-	
-	Below this, it shows the top callers of the method. This is very useful
-	data. If you find, for example, that the method Data::Computate () takes
-	a very long time to run, you can look to see if any of the calls can be
-	avoided.
-	
-	Two warnings must be given about the method data. First,
-	the profiler has an overhead associated with it. As such,
-	a high number of calls to a method may show up as consuming
-	lots of time, when in reality they do not consume much time
-	at all. If you see a method that has a very high number of
-	calls, you may be able to ignore it. However, do consider
-	removing calls if possible, as that will sometimes help
-	performance. This problem is often seen with the use
-	of built in collection types.
-	
-	Secondly, due to the nature of the profiler, recursive calls
-	have extremely large times (because the profiler double counts
-	when the method calls itself). One easy way to see this problem
-	is that if a method is shown as taking more time than the Main
-	method, it is very likely recursive, and causing this problem.
-	
-	Below the method data, allocation data is shown. This shows
-	how much memory each method allocates. The number beside
-	the method is the total amount of memory. Below that, it
-	is broken down into types. Then, the caller data is given. This
-	data is again useful when you want to figure out how to eliminate calls.
-	
-	You might want to keep a close eye on the memory consumption
-	and on the method invocation counts.   A lot of the
-	performance gains in MCS for example came from reducing its
-	memory usage, as opposed to changes in the execution path.
-
-** Memory Management in the .NET/Mono world.
-
-	Since Mono and .NET offer automatic garbage collection, the
-	programmer is freed from having to track and dispose the
-	objects it consumes (except for IDispose-like classes).   This
-	is a great productivity gain, but if you create thousands of
-	objects, that will make the garbage collector do more work,
-	and it might slow down your application.
-	
-	Remember, each time you allocate an object, the GC is forced
-	to find space for the object. Each object has an 8 byte overhead
-	(4 to tell what type it is, then 4 for a sync block). If
-	the GC finds that it is running out of room, it will scan every
-	object for pointers, looking for unreferenced objects. If you allocate
-	extra objects, the GC then must take the effort to free the objects.
-	
-	Mono uses the Boehm GC, which is a conservative collector,
-	and this might lead to some memory fragmentation and unlike
-	generational GC systems, it has to scan the entire allocated
-	memory pool.
-	
-*** Boxing
-	The .NET framework provides a rich hierarchy of object types.
-	Each object not only has value information, but also type
-	information associated with it. This type information makes
-	many types of programs easier to write. It also has a cost
-	associated with it. The type information takes up space.
-	
-	In order to reduce the cost of type information, almost every
-	Object Oriented language has the concept of `primitives'.
-	They usually map to types such as integers and booleans. These
-	types do not have any type information associated with them.
-	
-	However, the language also must be able to treat primitives
-	as first class datums -- in the class with objects. Languages
-	handle this issue in different ways. Some choose to make a
-	special class for each primitive, and force the user to do an
-	operation such as:
-<pre class="shell">
-// This is Java
-list.add (new Integer (1));
-System.out.println (list.get (1).intValue ());
-</pre>
-
-	The C# design team was not satisfied with this type 
-	of construct. They added a notion of `boxing' to the language.
-	
-	Boxing preforms the same thing as Java's <code>new Integer (1)</code>.
-	The user is not forced to write the extra code. However,
-	behind the scenes the <em>same thing</em> is being done
-	by the runtime. Each time a primitive is cast to an object,
-	a new object is allocated.
-	
-	You must be careful when casting a primitive to an object.
-	Note that because it is an implicit conversion, you will
-	not see it in your code. For example, boxing is happening here:
-
-<pre class="shell">
-ArrayList foo = new ArrayList ();
-foo.Add (1);
-</pre>
-	
-	In high performance code, this operation can be very costly.
-
-*** Using structs instead of classes for small objects
-
-	For small objects, you might want to consider using value
-	types (structs)	instead of object (classes).
-	
-	However, you must be careful that you do not use the struct
-	as an object, in that case it will actually be more costly.
-	
-	As a rule of thumb, only use structs if you have a small
-	number of fields (totaling less than 32 bytes), and
-	need to pass the item `by value'. You should not box the object.
-
-*** Assisting the Garbage Collector
-
-	Although the Garbage Collector will do the right thing in
-	terms of releasing and finalizing objects on time, you can
-	assist the garbage collector by clearing the fields that
-	points to objects.  This means that some objects might be
-	eligible for collection earlier than they would, this can help
-	reduce the memory consumption and reduce the work that the GC
-	has to do.
-
-** Common problems with <tt>foreach</tt>
-
-	The <tt>foreach</tt> C# statement handles various kinds of
-	different constructs (about seven different code patterns are
-	generated).   Typically foreach generates more efficient code
-	than loops constructed manually, and also ensures that objects
-	which implement IDispose are properly released.
-
-	But foreach sometimes might generate code that under stress
-	performs badly.  Foreach performs badly when its used in tight
-	loops, and its use leads to the creation of many enumerators.
-	Although technically obtaining an enumerator for some objects
-	like ArrayList is more efficient than using the ArrayList
-	indexer, the pressure introduced due to the extra memory
-	requirements and the demands on the garbage collector make it
-	more inefficient.
-
-	There is no straight-forward rule on when to use foreach, and
-	when to use a manual loop.  The best thing to do is to always
-	use foreach, and only when profile shows a problem, replace
-	foreach with for loops.

-* How to port Mono to your preferred architecture
-
-** Endian, 64 bits and unaligned access issues
-
-	The first thing to do is to check that the metadata handling
-	library works on your target processor. You may use the disassembler
-	on simple programs and check that you get sensible results
-	(assuming it compiles at all on your system:-).
-
-	The main issue is to write macros that read unaligned
-	little endian shorts/ints/longs/float/doubles: look into
-	mono/metadata/endian.h. There may be other spots in the code that are
-	unsafe at reading/writing to some datatypes that require special
-	alignment, but there should be few such issues and they need to be fixed.
-
-	Once this stuff is sorted out, you should be able to run the interpreter
-	on simple programs that don't require delegates, P/Invoke functions etc..
-
-** Generating assembly bytecodes for the target processor
-
-	Next, you need to provide the support code for generating assembly bytecode
-	for your target platform (in mono/arch/{ppc,sparc,alpha,*}).
-	The code should be more or less like the code in x86-codegen.h:
-	macros that produce fast in-line code. You don't need to provide
-	code to create every possible code, at first, just the code to
-	create trampolines and execute them is fine (you'll need to research
-	how the call convention works on your platform): that would be, for
-	example, the prolog and epilog code in a function, code to pass function
-	parameters and deal with the return value and so on.
-
-	libffi in gcc or the xptcall sources in mozilla may be helpful to
-	understand how the calling convention works, if you can't find a specification.
-	You'd need a processor manual to know how to create the assembly binary data.
-	This requires a lot of reading if you're not familiar with the assembly for your
-	target platform. Manuals for many processors are available as PDF files on the
-	web site of the respective vendors. Note that some processors require you to
-	flush the I-cache before executing the code: have a look at how the same thing is
-	done in GNU lightning.
-
-** Getting the interpreter to work
-
-	Once you can generate binary code, you can start working on a
-	mono_create_trampoline() function for your platform: this function will receive
-	a MonoMethod that describes the arguments and the return type of a C function
-	and will create the code to call such function. When this function is complete
-	you'll be able to run more sample programs, that use System.IO, P/Invoke
-	functions etc.
-
-	To support delegates you'll need to write a mono_create_method_pointer()
-	function that creates a native function: this can be used to call the
-	method using the runtime's calling convention (it's basically the reverse
-	of mono_create_trampoline()).
-
-** The final step: porting the JIT
-
-	At this point you'd need to have a more complete code generation header file
-	and you can start writing the machine description file for the monoburg
-	system. This code (jit/tesjit.c) will require some machine specific tweaks,
-	but hopefully all you have to do is create the grammar that emit assembly
-	code from the IR tree. Work is at the early stages also for x86 on this stuff
-	as we are still testing various solutions: you'd want to read about burg-like
-	code-generator generators (the LCC book is a good starting point).

-* PostgreSQL and Mono
-
-  When it comes to Mono and PostgreSQL, there are many ways
-  you can handle your data.   You have many Mono Data Providers which can be used
-  to access data from a application written for Mono.  
-  Then there is the future goal of having the ability to host Mono within PostgreSQL to
-  have the applications run on the server which makes things much faster.
-  
-* Hosting Mono in PostgreSQL
-
-  There is a project to <a href="http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/plmono/projdisplay.php">host Mono within PostgreSQL</a>.
-
-  plMono is a PostgreSQL language using the embedded Mono runtime. It provides support for writing functions in C#, or any other language that supports .NET.
-
-* Data Providers
-
- There are many ADO.NET data providers for <a href="http://www.postgresql.org/">PostgreSQL</a>:
- 
- There are two providers created specifically for PostgreSQL included with Mono:
-
-<ul>
-
-	<li><a href="http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/npgsql/projdisplay.php">Npgsql</a>
-		<ul>
-			<li>included with Mono</li>

-			<li>a .NET Managed Data Provider for PostgreSQL</li>
-			
-			<li>Written in 100% C#</li>
-			
-			<li>does not require a client library</li>
-			
-			<li>works on Mono and Microsoft .NET</li>
-			
-			<li>created by Francisco Figueiredo jr. and has many developers working on it
-			
-			<li>works in the SQL# (command-line and GTK# GUI versions)</li>
-			
-			<li>in namespace Npgsql and assembly Npgsql and is found in mcs
-			at mcs/class/Npgsql</li>
-		</ul>
-	</li>
-	
-	<li>Mono.Data.PostgreSQL (deprecated)
-		<ul>
-			<li>included with Mono</li>
-		
-			<li>Deprecated in favor of Npgsql</li>
-			
-			<li>Exists in namespace Mono.Data.PostgreSql and assembly Mono.Data.PostgreSql</li>
-	
-			<li>Is a Mono Data Provider for the <a href="http://www.postgresql.org/">PostgreSQL</a>
-				client/server database management system.</li>
-	
-			<li>Written in C# and has C# bindings to the PostgreSQL C Client library pq.dll on Windows
-				and libpq.so on Linux.</li>
-		</ul>
-	</li>
-	
-	<li><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysqlnet/">ByteFX.Data</a> has a provider for PostgreSQL too, but I do not know how well it works with Mono.</li>
-	
-	<li>There is another .NET data provider for PostgreSQL named <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pgsqlclient/">PgSqlClient</a>, but I do not know if it works with Mono.</li>
-	
-	<li>If none of the above providers meet your needs.  There is the ODBC and OLEDB providers included with Mono.</li>
-			
-	<li>Bugs with Mono or the data provider should be reported 
-	in Mono's Bugzilla <a href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com/">here</a>.  If you
-	do not have Bugzilla user account, it is free 
-	and easy to 
-	create one <a href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com/createaccount.cgi">here</a>.</li>
-
-
-</ul>
-
- Below, see separate Testing sections for Npgsql and Mono.Data.PostgreSqlClient.
-
-** Current Status
-
-<ul>
-	<li>Npgsql
-		<ul>
-			<li>Builds and Runs on both Microsoft .NET and Mono.</li>
-			<li>Works using SQL# (command-line and GTK# versions)</li>
-			<li>You can send insert, update, delete queries 

-				through NpgsqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() method.</li>

-			<li>You can send queries like, select count(*) from table, select version()

-				with NpgsqlCommand.ExecuteScalar() method.</li>

-			<li>There is logging support. (Thanks Dave Page)

-				To use it, place code like that in your program:</li>

-

-<pre>      

-      // Enable logging.

-	  NpgsqlEventLog.Level = LogLevel.Debug;            // LogLevel.

-	  NpgsqlEventLog.LogName = "NpgsqlTests.LogFile";   // LogFile.

-</pre>

-    

-			<li>You can use Npgsql with Mono (Thanks Kristis Makris). It is not working perfectly.</li>

-			<li>There is a winforms test suite (Thanks Dave Page).</li>

-			<li>Clearer code in NpgsqlConnection removing *magic* numbers and constants. (Thanks Kristis Makris)</li>

-			<li>Better support of ODBC-like ConnectionString in NpgsqlConnection (Thanks Dave Page)</li>

-			<li>Thanks Ulrich Sprick for all discussion and ideas.</li>

-
-		</ul>
-	</li>
-	<li>Mono.Data.PostgreSQL status
-	<ul>
-	
-	<li>Deprecated in favor of Npgsql</li>
-	
-	<li>We are able to do simple CREATE TABLE, DROP TABLE, UPDATE, INSERT, and
-	DELETE SQL commands using the ExecuteNonQuery method in PgSqlCommand.</li>
-	
-	<li>We can execute multiple queries and do a NextResult() in PgSqlDataReader()
-	to get the next result set.</li>
-	
-	<li>We are also able to do simple aggregate functions, 
-	ie, count(), sum(), min(), and max() 
-	in a simple SELECT SQL query using the ExecuteScalar() now.</li>
-	
-	<li>We are also able to retrieve data with a simple SELECT SQL query 
-	using ExecuteReader() which returns a PgSqlDataReader.  We are able to
-	use GetSchemaTable() to get the meta data about the table columns.  
-	We are able	to Read() to get each row from the result set.</li>
-	
-	<li>We are able to get 
-	String data (char, character, text, varchar), Int16 (smallint),
-	Int32 (integer), Int64 (bigint), DateTime (time, date, timestamp),
-	Boolean (boolean), Single (float), and Double (double).
-	More data types will come later.  Note, the types that do work still 
-	need thorough testing.</li>
-	
-	<li>Rows that are returned which contain columns that are NULL are handled now. 
-	The PgSqlDataReader method IsDBNull() needs to be called to determine 
-	if a field IS NULL before trying to read data from that field.</li>
-	
-	<li>Calling PostgreSQL stored procedures works.  It does not work perfectly.  
-	It may not
-	even work to specification - yet.  If you want to test it yourself, look at
-	TestSqlDataReader.cs or PostgresTest.cs in
-	mcs/class/System.Data/Test.</li>
-	
-	<li>Below, I have some sample code you can
-	use to call a PostgreSQL stored procedure named "version".  This stored
-	procedure returns a string containing the PostgreSQL server version.  Notice
-	the CommandType is StoredProcedure and the method ExecuteScalar() is called.</li>
-	
-	<li>ExecuteScalar() is a lightweight method in class PgSqlCommand that only returns
-	one row and one column as one object - even if there is more than row or column.</li>
-			
-	<li>We have the beginnings of Parameters support PostgreSQL.  Only
-	Input Parameters are currently supported.  Output, Input/Output,
-	and Return parameters still need to be done.</li>
-	
-	<li>A lot of Exceptions need to be thrown for various exceptions.  However,
-	PgSqlException, PgSqlErrorCollection, and PgSqlError have been partially
-	implemented.</li>
-	
-	<li>Tim Coleman and Rodrigo Moya got the beginnings of the
-	PgSqlDataAdapter/DataSet/DataTable/DataRow to work.  Currently, 
-	the PgSqlDataAdapter can Fill() relational data into a DataTable in a DataSet.
-	See the test mcs/class/System.Data/Test/TestSqlDataAdapter.cs to see it in action.</li>
-	
-	<li>Works in the SQL# command-line version
-			and the GTK# version on Linux.  It only works in SQL# command-line version
-			on Windows.</li>
-			
-	</ul>
-	</li>
-			
-</ul>
-
-** Action Plan
-	<ul>
-		<li>More testing and fixing bugs</li>
-		
-		<li>Better error handling</li>
-		
-		<li>More Data Types to use</li>
-		
-		<li>Any features for Npgsql should be implemented in Npgsql's main cvs repository at
-		gborg.postgresql.org.  Most bugs should be fixed in gborg.postgresql.org's cvs.
-		Only bugs neccessary for building and running of Npgsql	on Mono can be done in Mono cvs, 
-		but once applied they should be sent to Npgsql's mailing list
-		at gborg.postgresql.org for inclusion into cvs there.  Whenever there is 
-		a release of Npgsql (determined by Francisco Figueiredo jr. or a release
-		of Mono (determined by Miguel de Icaza), then the Npgsql source 
-		in gborg.postgresql.org's cvs will be used to update the Npgsql source in
-		Mono's cvs. 
-		</li>
-		
-		<li>Mono.Data.PostgreSqlClient even though deprecated can still 
-		accept bug fixes. This is because other areas, such as, ASP.NET examples
-		may still use this provider.</li>
-		
-		<li>Add any missing functionality to Npgsql. If this funtionality works on
-		.NET but not on Mono, implement the missing features or fix the bugs in Mono</li>
-
-		<li>Npgsql has replaced Mono.Data.PostgreSqlClient as the provider of
-		choice to use.  However, Mono.Data.PostgreSqlClient will remain in a

-** Testing Mono.Data.PostgreSqlClient
-
-	<ul>
-		* <p>In order to test Mono.Data.PostgreSqlClient, you will need to have
-	access to a remote PostgreSQL DBMS, or you will have to install 
-	one locally.  PostgreSQL was the first ADO.NET provider created in Mono.
-		
-	<p>Why use PostgreSQL?  Because it is free software, has a client 
-	library that is easy to use, PostgreSQL is easy to install on
-	Unix and Windows (using the Cygwin install program), not difficult to setup after
-	installation, and it runs under: Linux, 
-	Windows (via cygwin and ipc-daemon), Unix, and
-	others.  This allowed us to create the
-	System.Data functionality in Mono much quicker.
-		
-	<p>If you plan on using a remote PostgreSQL DBMS Server,
-	than you will need to have the PostgreSQL client software on your
-	local computer that includes libpq.so (pq.dll on Windows).
-	
-	<p>The System.Data tests use this connection string to connect
-	to the PostgreSQL database named "test" at host "localhost" as
-	user "postgres".
-
-<pre>
-"Server=localhost;Database=test;User ID=postgres;Password=fun2db"
-      (or)
-"host=localhost;dbname=test;user=postgres;password=fun2db"
-</pre>
-</ul>
-		
-	<p>Installation instructions for PostgreSQL DBMS:
-
-	<b>On Unix</b>
-
-	<ul>
-		* Read the PostgreSQL Installation Instructions 
-		at \usr\doc\postgresql-x.x.x\html\installation.html
-		
-		* Depending on your Unix system, 
-		PostgreSQL maybe already installed, a database user 'postgres' created, 
-		a linux user 'postgres' created and initdb ran.  Or maybe not.
-
-<pre>
- su
- adduser postgres
- mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
- chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data
- su - postgres
- initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
- postmaster -i -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
- createdb test
- psql test
-</pre>
-	
-		* Make sure you have a database user named postgres.  It is best to install
-		the PostgreSQL DBMS under linux user postgres.  When you run the postmaster,
-		run it under the user postgres as well.  If this was not done, then you
-		will need to create a user named postgres for the System.Data tests.
-
-		* If you already installed PostgeSQL and you do not have a database
-		user named postgres, then you can create user postgres using psql:
-		
-<pre>		
-psql test
-create user postgres with password 'fun2db';
-</pre>
-				
-		* The postmaster must be run with -i option.
-		
-		* In the /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf file, you need
-		to have the AUTH_TYPE set to md5.  You can read more on this at
-		/usr/doc/postgresql-7.2.1/html/client-authentication.html 
-		or wherever your
-		PostgreSQL html docs are located.  See the 2nd line below,
-		host 127.0.0.1 has an AUTH_TYPE md5 in pg_hba.conf.
-		
-<pre>
- # TYPE     DATABASE    IP_ADDRESS    MASK               AUTH_TYPE
-
- local      all                                          trust
- host       all         127.0.0.1     255.255.255.255    md5
-</pre>
-
-	* If you can not find your PostgreSQL documentation locally or you 
-	did not install it, then you 
-	can get it <a href="http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/">here</a>.
-
-	</ul>
-
-	<b>On Windows</b>
-
-	<ul>
-		* Use the <a href="http://www.cygwin.com/">Cygwin</a> installer to 
-		  install the PostgreSQL DBMS.  It is
-		  found in the database category.
-		  
-		* <p>Read the file postgres-x.x.README at /usr/doc/Cygwin and read 
-		  the requirements to install PostgreSQL.  Those requirements
-		  are included with cygwin except cygipc.  A default installtion
-		  of cygwin does not install everything you will need, so on the 
-		  safe side, just include everything when installing cygwin.
-		
-		* <p>The -x.x in postgres-x.x is the version of your PostgreSQL DBMS.
-		
-		* <p>Once Cygwin has installed the PostgreSQL DBMS on your computer,
-		  read the file FAQ_MSWIN which is available 
-		  in /usr/doc/postgres-x.x 
-				  
-		* <p>Important notes from this file are:
-		  
-		  <ul>
-				<p><b>2.</b> - Install the latest <a href="http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygipc/index.html">CygIPC</a> package.
-				Cygwin includes a utility bunzip2 which can be used to unzip it.  Now, change to 
-				the root directory by 
-				typing "cd /" then 
-				you can use "tar xvf cygipc.xxx.tar" to untar it 
-				in the root directory in cygwin.
-			  			  
-				<p>The cygipc package contains the support to run ipc-daemon 
-				that you will need 
-				to run before you can
-				run the PostgreSQL DBMS Server daemon (postmaster) or run
-				initdb which initializes the PostgreSQL database.
-			  
-				<p><b>3.</b>  The Cygwin bin directory has to be placed in 
-				the path before the Windows program directories, 
-				for example, C:\cygwin\bin 
-			  
-				<p><b>My own note.</b>  In the Windows control panel, I set
-				the environment variables PATH to my cygwin /usr/local/bin,
-				/usr/bin, and /bin.  I also set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH to 
-				/usr/local/lib and /usr/lib.  For example:
-			  
-				<p>
-<pre>
-PATH=c:\cygwin\usr\local\bin;c:\cygwin\usr\bin;c:\cygwin\bin;
-LD_LIBRARY_PATH=c:\cygwin\usr\local\lib;c:\cygwin\usr\lib;
-</pre>
-							  
-				<p><b>4.</b> Start the ipc-daemon that came with the cygipc 
-				package.  There
-				are two ways to do this: run it from the command line as:
-			  
-				<p>
-<pre>
-ipc-daemon &
-</pre> 			  
-				<p>or you can set it up as a Windows service.  See the 
-				file cygrunsrv.README at /usr/doc/Cygwin on how to do this
-				for ipc-daemon and postmaster.  Note the
-				troubleshooting section at the end of 
-				the cygrunsrv.README file.
-			  
-				<p>To install ipc-daemon as a service, 
-				you just have to run
-			  
-				<p>
-<pre>
-ipc-daemon --install-as-service' (--remove-as-service) 
-</pre>
-			  
-				<p>and then run
-			  
-<pre>
-net start ipc-daemon
-</pre>
-			</ul>
-			  
-			<p>Read the installation.html file 
-			at /usr/doc/postgresql-x.x/html/installation.html
-		
-			<p>You will see in this file that you will need to 
-			run the following commands:
-		  
-			<p>
-<pre>
-mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
-initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
-postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
-createdb test
-psql test  		
-</pre>
-		  
-			<p>When you need to connect to the database, 
-			you will need ipc-daemon and postmaster running.  Start ipc-daemon
-			before any of the command above.  If you restart your computer, you
-			need to start ipc-daemon and postmaster either manually or as a 
-			service.
-		  
-			<p>psql is a command-line PostgreSQL client tool to 
-			enter and run SQL commands and queries.
-		  
-			<p>If there is no database user named postgres, create a user named
-			postgres with the following SQL command in the client tool psql:
-		  
-			<p>
-<pre>
-psql test
-create user postgres with password 'fun2db';
-</pre>
-			<p>The only reason I say this is so you can easily use the System.Data tests
-			without having to change the database, userid, etc.
-	</ul>
-	
-	<p>In the path mcs/class/System.Data/Test
-	there is a test for Mono.Data.PostgreSqlClient named
-	PostgreTest.cs.  Thanks goes to Gonzalo for creating the original
-	PostgreSQL test.
-
-	<p>
-    To compile the PostgresTest.cs program, do:
-    
-    <p>
-<pre>
- mcs PostgresTest.cs \
-    -r System.Data.dll \
-    -r Mono.Data.PostgreSqlClient.dll
-</pre>
-
-	<p>If there are compile errors, such as, can not convert IDbConnection
-	to PgSqlConnection, then you need to run mcs like:
-
-<pre>
- mono C:/cygwin/home/MyHome/mono/install/bin/mcs.exe \
-    PostgresTest.cs \
-    -r System.Data.dll \
-    -r Mono.Data.PostgreSqlClient.dll

-* Provider Factory
-
-<p>Brian Ritchie contributed a Provider Factory and Data Tools for Mono ADO.NET<br>
-which gives us a foundation for abstract data provider access within Mono
-
-** Here are the deails:
-
-<ul>
-	<li>The Provider information is seperate from the connection string information.<br>
-	    This allows the list of providers to be stored in the machine.config file.</li>
-	<li>Provider and ProviderCollection objects are available to access <br>
-		the list of providers and modify them at runtime.</li>
-	<li>The ProviderFactory object is used to create new connections, commands,<br> 
-	    dataadapters, parameters, etc.</li>
-</ul>
-
-** Overview of the ProviderFactory object model:
-
-<ul>
-	<li><b>ProviderFactory</b>: used to create new Connections, Commands,<br> 
-	DataAdapters, or Commands. All objects are returned using <br>
-	the provider interfaces such as IDbConnection, IDbCommand,<br>
-	IDbDataAdapter, or IDataParamter</li>
-
-	<li><b>DataTools</b>: static methods for doing <br>
-	common tasks like filling a DataSet <br>
-	with the contents of a select statement.</li>
-
-	<li><b>ProviderCollection</b>: list of providers configured <br>
-	in the system. Initially loaded from app.config, but can <br>
-	be modified at run-time.</li>
-
-	<li><b>Provider</b>: represents a given provider (factory) <br>
-	and holds information needed to <br>
-	create the types.</li>
-
-	<li><b>ProviderSectionHandler</b>: works behind the <br>
-	scenes to load the list of <br>
-	providers from the app.config into a ProviderCollection.</li>
-</ul>
-
-** C# source code samples for creating a connection: 
-
-<pre>
- // Create connection using enhanced connection string
- // The factory attribute specifies which provider 
- // to use. The factory attribute is parsed out, the 
- // object is created, and then the rest of the 
- // connection string is passed into the provider. The 
- // providers are defined in 
- // the app.config (or machine.config).
- IDbConnection conn;
- string connectionString = 
-	"factory=System.Data.SqlClient;" +
-	"server=speedy;database=pubs;uid=sa";
- conn = ProviderFactory.CreateConnection(connectionString);

- 
- // Create connection using connection string stored 
- // in app.config under &lt;appSettings&gt;

-can be found at <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/">MSDN</a>.
-
-<p>See the mcs/class/Mono.Data/app.config for sample configuration file in<br>
-mcs source.  Basically, if your application is named blah.exe, <br>
-you would create an app.config file named blah.exe.config

-* The Mono Project
-
-** Background.
-
-	The GNOME project goal was to bring missing technologies to
-	Unix and make it competitive in the current market place for
-	desktop applications.  We also realized early on that language
-	independence was important, and that is why GNOME APIs were
-	coded using a standard that allowed the APIs to be easily
-	wrapped for other languages.  Our APIs are available to most
-	programming languages on Unix (Perl, Python, Scheme, C++,
-	Objective-C, Ada). 
-
-	Later on we decided to use better methods for encapsulating
-	our APIs, and we started to use CORBA to define interfaces to
-	components. We complemented it with policy and a set of
-	standard GNOME interfaces for easily creating reusable,
-	language independent components, controls and compound
-	documents.  This technology is known as <a
-	href="http://developer.ximian.com/articles/whitepapers/bonobo">Bonobo</a>.
-	Interfaces to Bonobo exist for C, Perl, Python, and
-	Java.
-
-	CORBA is good when you define coarse interfaces, and most
-	Bonobo interfaces are coarse.  The only problem is that
-	Bonobo/CORBA interfaces are not good for small interfaces.
-	For example, an XML parsing Bonobo/CORBA component would be
-	inefficient compared to a C API.
-
-** Another explanation
-
-	I recently explained our motivations to Dave Winer, and he posted
-	it <a
-	href="http://scriptingnews.userland.com/stories/storyReader$1275">here</a>
-
-** Microsoft's .NET
-
-	The Microsoft .NET initiative is confusing because it is a
-	company wide effort that ranges from development tools to end
-	user applications.  .NET is a branding formative that
-	has been applied to:
-
-	<ul>
-		* The .NET development platform, a new platform for
-		  writing software.
-
-		* Web services.
-
-		* Microsoft Server Applications.
-
-		* New tools that use the new development platform.
-
-		* Hailstorm, the Passport centralized single-signon
-		  system that is being integrated into Windows XP.
-
-	</ul>
-
-	Mono is an implementation of the .NET development platform.
-
-** The Common Language Infrastructure platform. 
-
-	Microsoft has created a new development platform.  The
-	highlights of this new development platform are:
-
-	<ul>
-		* A runtime environment that provides garbage
-		  collection, threading and a virtual machine
-		  specification (The Virtual Execution System, VES)
-
-		* A comprehensive class library.  
-
-		* A new language, C#.  Very similar to Java,  C#
-		  allows programmers to use all the features available
-		  on the .NET runtime.
-
-		* A language specification that compilers can
-		  follow if they want to generate classes and code
-		  that can interoperate with other programming
-		  languages (The Common Language Specification: CLS)
-	</ul>
-
-	The Common Language Infrastructure platform is similar to the
-  	goals we had in GNOME of giving language independence to
-  	programmers.  It is more mature, documented, larger in scope,
-  	and has a consistent design.
-
-	Any API that is written using a CLS provider language can be
-  	used by any language that is a CLS consumer.  Compilers
-  	generate code in a format called Common Intermediate Language
-  	(CIL) which is an intermediate representation of a compiled
-  	program and is easy to compile to native code or compiled
-  	using Just-in-Time (JIT) engines.  The restrictions placed by
-  	the runtime on the CIL byte codes ensures that it is possible
-  	to do a good job at optimizing the code in a JIT compiler.
-
-	There is not really a lot of innovation in this platform: we
-	have seen all of these concepts before, and we are all
-	familiar with how these things work.
-
-	What makes the Common Language Infrastructure development
-  	platform interesting is that it is a good mix of technologies
-  	that have been nicely integrated.
-
-	The .NET development platform is essentially a new foundation
-	for program development that gives Microsoft a room to grow
-  	for the coming years. 
-
-** ECMA standards.
-
-	Microsoft has submitted the
-  	specifications of C#, the runtime, the metadata and the
-  	other various bits of the .NET development platform to the
-  	<a href="http://www.ecma.ch">ECMA</a> for standarization.
-
-	You can get a copy of the specifications submitted to ECMA
-	from: <a href="http://www.dotnetexperts.com/ecma">http://www.dotnetexperts.com/ecma</a>
-
-** Mono: an Open Source Common Language Infrastructure implementation. 
-
-	Ximian has begun work on Mono, a project that aims to bring
-  	the Common Language Infrastructure platform to free systems.  
-
-	When the GNU project was launched, they picked the best
-  	operating system that was available out there, and they
-  	began to clone it: Unix.
-
-	The .NET development platform is a very rich, powerful, and
-  	well designed platform that would help improve the free
-  	software development platform.  Just like the GNU project
-  	began to clone Unix sixteen years ago, we will be cloning the
-  	.NET development platform because it is a great platform to
-  	build on.
-
-** What makes up Mono?
-
-	There are various pieces that make up Mono today:
-
-	<ul>
-		* A C# compiler.
-
-		* The Virtual Execution System: that has the
-  		  Just-in-Time compiler, garbage collector, loader,
-  		  threading engine.
-
-		  A byte code interpreter is provided for quickly
-  		  porting Mono to new systems and debugging the JIT
-		  purposes, but it is not intended to be the ideal
-		  execution environment.
-
-		* An implemenation of the .NET class libraries:
-		  Remoting, Reflection, Reflection.Emit, Xml, Xpath,
-		  Xslt, Xml Serialization, Web Services support. 
-
-		* Cross platform class libraries for data access:
-		  Postgress, MySQL, DB2, TDS, Sybase, Oracle, ODBC and
-		  Gnome's GDA.
-
-		* Unix class libraries: Mono.Posix
-
-		* Gnome-specific class libraries: The Gtk# family. 
-
-		* A code pre-compiler to generate native code ahead of
-		  time.
-
-		* Gtk# a toolkit to develop GNOME applications on Unix
-		  and Windows.
-
-		* An implementation of the Remoting infrastructure in
-		 .NET
-	</ul>
-
-	Other work-in-progress components:
-
-	<ul>
-		* A VB.NET compiler and JScript compilers are in the works.
-
-		* Web services on the server side.
-
-		* We are planning to include Remoting.CORBA as part of
-		  Mono standard distribution.
-	</ul>
-
-** Why use GNOME components?
-
-	GNOME is an umbrella project that consists of infrastructural
-	components (GUI toolkit, XML libraries, CORBA implementation,
-	printing architecture, imaging system), a desktop environment,
-	and productivity applications.
-
-	The GNOME infrastructural components can be used to quickly
-	implement various pieces of the class libraries without reinventing
-	the wheel, and since all those components are licensed under
-	the terms of the GNU LGPL it is a perfect fit.  
-
-	Libart will be used to implement the Drawing.2D API; Gtk+ and
-	the GNOME libraries will be used to implement the WinForms
-	API and of course Glib and libxml will be used in various
-	places.

-Hey!
-
-   July 12 snapshots of class libraries, the compiler and the mono
-runtime are available.
-
-New on this release:
-
-    * Runtime (module: mono)
-
-	The beginning of a simple interpreter that Paolo started
-	workign on (can run really simple .NET programs).
-
-	Disassembler copes with more elements of the binary format and
-	more tokens are decoded.  Paolo is working now on moving some
-	of these to the metadata library. 
-
-	More tables are dumped.
-
-    * Class libraries (module: mcs/class)
-
-	Many new more classes are in from Joe, Vladimir, Jeff, Sean
-	and yours truly.
-
-	Sean fixed the build process, and it is now possible to
-	compile with a single command the assemblies.  We will be
-	revisiting this mechanism in the future to compile per-OS
-	assemblies (ie, Unix, Windows, MacOS, etc).
-
-     * Compiler (module mcs/mcs)
-
-	Not much done this week, just a few fixes here and there, and
-	more work to make it easy to compiler.
-
-     * Documentation (module: mono/doc)
-
-	All the changes to the web site are there for your browsing
-	pleasure.  We still need to integrate the status system in
-	there.

-Hey guys,
-
-   I promise I will not be doing these so often once we have the CVS
-server up.  In the meantime:
-
-	* MCS
-
-		Sean got the classes to compile in a single go.  You
-		will need CygWin (www.cygwin.org) to compile though
-		(GNU make and stuff is required).
-
-		System.Xml.XmlReader contribution from Jason
-		(WOOHHOO!!).  It also contains a nice test-suite for
-		his functions, and in his new code bit, his
-		implementation is faster than Microsoft's
-
-		We now ship `jay' as part of the distribution to allow
-		you to compile the compiler with the same `make'
-		command.  Small fixes to the parser as well were
-		introduced. 
-
-	* Mono 0.4
-
-		Paolo's interpreter supports call instructions and has
-		the test suite program that he posted about.
-
-
-		All documentation ships now in the mono-0.4.tar.gz 
-
-Notes:
-
-	As usual, MCS is targeted to be compiled on a Windows machine
-	(you will need Cygwin).
-
-	Mono is targeted to be compiled on a Unix machine or a Windows
-	machine running Cygwin.

-* The Mono runtime
-
-	The Mono runtime engine is considered feature complete.
-
-	It implements a Just-in-Time compiler engine for the CIL
-	virtual machine, the class loader, the garbage collector,
-	threading system and metadata access libraries.
-
-	We currently have two runtimes:
-
-	<ul>
-		* <b>mono:</b> Our Just-in-Time and Ahead-of-Time code
-		  generator for maximum performance.
-	
-		* <b>mint:</b> The Mono interpreter.  This is an
-		  easy-to-port runtime engine.
-	</ul>
-
-	We are using the Boehm conservative garbage collector.
-
-	The Mono runtime can be used as a stand-alone process, or it
-	can be <a href="embedded-api.html">embedded into applications</a> (see
-	the documentation in mono/samples/embed for more details).
-
-	Embedding the Mono runtime allows applications to be extended
-	in C# while reusing all of the existing C and C++ code.  
-
-	Paolo Molaro did a presentation on the current JIT engine and
-	the new JIT engine.  You can find his <a

-	here</a>
-
-** Current JIT Engine: technical details (<b>updated, June 28th, 2003</b>)
-
-	We have re-written our JIT compiler. We wanted to support a
-	number of features that were missing:
-
-	<ul>
-		* Ahead-of-time compilation.  
-
-	     The idea is to allow developers to pre-compile their code
-	     to native code to reduce startup time, and the working
-	     set that is used at runtime in the just-in-time compiler.
-
-	     Although in Mono this has not been a visible problem, we
-	     wanted to pro-actively address this problem.
-
-	     When an assembly (a Mono/.NET executable) is installed in
-	     the system, it would then be possible to pre-compile the
-	     code, and have the JIT compiler tune the generated code
-	     to the particular CPU on which the software is
-	     installed. 
-
-	     This is done in the Microsoft.NET world with a tool
-	     called ngen.exe
-
-		* Have a good platform for doing code optimizations. 
-
-	     The design called for a good architecture that would
-	     enable various levels of optimizations: some
-	     optimizations are better performed on high-level
-	     intermediate representations, some on medium-level and
-	     some at low-level representations.
-
-	     Also it should be possible to conditionally turn these on
-	     or off.  Some optimizations are too expensive to be used
-	     in just-in-time compilation scenarios, but these
-	     expensive optimizations can be turned on for
-	     ahead-of-time compilations or when using profile-guided
-	     optimizations on a subset of the executed methods.
-
-		* Reduce the effort required to port the Mono code
-             generator to new architectures.
-
-	     For Mono to gain wide adoption in the Unix world, it is
-	     necessary that the JIT engine works in most of today's
-	     commercial hardware platforms. 
-	</ul>
-
-	The JIT engine implements a number of optimizations:
-
-	<ul>
-		* Opcode cost estimates (our architecture allows
-	 	  us to generate different code paths depending
-		  on the target CPU dynamically).
-		  
-		* Inlining.
-
-		* Constant folding, copy propagation, dead code elimination.
-
-		  Although compilers typically do
-		  constant folding, the combination of inlining with
-		  constant folding gives some very good results.
-
-		* Linear scan register allocation.  In the past,
-		  register allocation was our achilles heel, but now 
-		  we have left this problem behind.
-
-		* SSA-based framework.  Various optimizations are
-		  implemented on top of this framework
-	</ul>
-
-	There are a couple of books that deal with this technique: "A
-	Retargetable C Compiler" and "Advanced Compiler Design and
-	Implementation" are good references.  You can also get a
-        technical description of <a
-        href="http://research.microsoft.com/copyright/accept.asp?path=http://www.research.microsoft.com/~drh/pubs/iburg.pdf&pub=ACM">lbrug</a>.
-
-	The new JIT engines uses three intermediate representations:
-	the source is the CIL which is transformed into a forest of
-	trees; This is fed into a BURS instruction selector that
-	generates the final low-level intermediate representation.
-
-	The instruction selector is documented in the following
-	papers:
-
-	<ul>
-		* <a href="http://research.microsoft.com/copyright/accept.asp?path=http://www.research.microsoft.com/~drh/pubs/interface.pdf&pub=wiley">A code generation interface for ANSI C</a>

-
-	</ul>
-
-** Garbage Collection
-
-	We are using the Boehm conservative GC.  We might consider
-	adopting other GC engines in the future, like the Intel ORP GC
-	engine.  The Intel ORP GC engine as it provides a precise
-	garbage collector engine, similar to what is available on the
-	.NET environment.

-	</ul>
-
-** IO and threading
-
-	The ECMA runtime and the .NET runtime assume an IO model and a
-	threading model that is very similar to the Win32 API.  
-
-	Dick Porter has developed WAPI: the Mono abstraction layer
-	that allows our runtime to execute code that depend on this
-	behaviour.
-

-
-** PInvoke
-
-	PInvoke is the mechanism we are using to wrap Unix API calls
-	as well as talking to system libraries.
-
-	Initially we used libffi, but it was fairly slow, so we have
-	reused parts of the JIT work to create efficient PInvoke
-	trampolines.
-
-** Remoting
-
-	Mono has support for remoting and proxy objects, just like
-	.NET does.  The runtime provides these facilities.
-
-** Porting
-
-	If you are interested in porting the Mono runtime to other
-	platforms, you might find the pre-compiled <a
-	href="archive/mono-tests.tar.gz">Mono regression test
-	suite</a> useful to debug your implementation.
-
-* COM and XPCOM
-
-	We plan on adding support for XPCOM on Unix and COM on Microsoft
-	Windows later in our development process.

-	
-</ul>
-
-
-** Current Status
-
-
-<ul>
-	<li>Thanks to Sebastien Pouliot, we now have NT Authentication (Integrated Security) support.  This support was
-	added after the release of Mono 0.29.  So, you either get it from cvs or wait for the Mono 0.30 release.</li>
-
-	<li>Able to connect to Microsoft SQL Server 7/2000 databases via SQL Server authentication and NT Authentication.</li>
-	
-	<li>Connection pooling works.</li>
-	
-	<li>Stored Procedures work.</li>
-	
-	<li>Parameters work.</li>
-	
-	<li>Prepare works.</li>
-	
-	<li>SQL commands can be executed
-	via ExecuteNonQuery() of a SqlCommand.</li>
-	
-	<li>SQL aggregates can be executed and a single row and single column
-	result can be retrieved via ExecuteScalar() of a SqlCommand</li>
-	
-	<li>SQL queries can be executed via ExecuteReader() and results 
-	can be retrieved via SqlDataReader.</li>
-	
-	<li>a DataTable with schema info about a result can be gotten via GetSchemaTable()
-	in a SqlDataReader</li>
-	
-	<li>XML can be read via ExecuteXmlReader in a SqlCommand.</li>
-	
-	<li>Data can be filled in a DataTable in a DataSet via a SqlDataAdapter</li>
-	
-	<li>Uses TDS Protocol Version 7.0</li>
-	
-	<li>Works in the SQL# command-line and GTK# GUI version</li>
-</ul>
-
-** Action plan
-
-<ul>
-	<li>Connection timeouts is being developed now</li>
-	
-	<li>Needs more testing</li>
-	
-	<li>Start work on TDS Protocol Version 8.0 support</li>
-	
-	<li>Add support for .NET 1.2 and 2.0 and Microsoft SQL Server (Yukon) support</li>
-
-</ul>
-
-** Testing
-
-<ul>
-	<li>Have a working mono and mcs installed</li>
-	
-	<li>Have access to a Microsoft SQL Server database 
-	or either download it:
-		<ul>
-			<li><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/sql/default.asp">Microsoft SQL Server</a></li>
-		</ul>
-	</li>
-	
-	<li><b>IMPORTANT:</b> If using Microsoft SQL Server 2000, make sure
-	you are using at least Service Pack 3 for Microsoft SQL Server 2000.  If using
-	MSDE 2000, make sure you have the special Service Pack 3 for MSDE 2000.  You
-	can get it from <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/2000/sp3.asp">here</a></li>
-	
-	<li>For those that only have MSDE installed.  You can change the authentication mode 

-	from Windows Only Authentication to SQL Server and Windows Authentications (also knows as Mixed-mode authentication)

-	via the <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q322336&sd=tech#4">registry</a></li>.  It is

-	the LoginMode you need to change.  By default,

-	MSDE is installed with Windows Only Authentication. For SqlClient to work with MSDE, you will

-	need to change the setting.</a>

-	

-	<li>If using MSDE, you might need to create a new user with password.  Give

-    this user access to various databases in this MSDE instance.  Also, for each

-    database, give this new user at least SELECT access to the various tables you want

-    to retrieve data from.</li>

-	

-	<li>If you have Enterprise Manager, you can easily change the authentication mode

-	for both MSDE and Microsoft SQL Server.  To change the authentication mode in 

-	Enterprise Mananger, select the instance, right-click on it, and select properites.

-	The SQL Server properties dialog for that instance will pop up.  Choose the Security

-	tab.  Change the authentication from Windows Only to SQL Server and Windows.  If

-	the instance of your database does not show up in Enterprise Manager, Register first

-	by selecting the Action menu and choosing New SQL Server Registration.</li>

-
-	<li>Located at mcs/class/System.Data/Test is a test for System.Data.SqlClient
-	named SqlTest.cs and you could use this as a basis for your test.</li>
-	
-	<li>Mono's SqlClient does not support trusted connections 
-	nor integrated security.  You can not use this when connecting.  You need 
-	to explicitly use a User ID and Password
-	authenticated by SQL Server.</li>
-	
-	<li>Has a connection string format for SQL Server Authentication:
-<pre>
- Server=hostname;Database=databaseName;User ID=userid;Password=password
-</pre>
-	</li>
-	<li>Has a connection string format for NT Authentication:
-<pre>
- Server=hostname;Database=databaseName;User ID=windowsUserid;Password=windowsPassword;Integrated Security=SSPI
-</pre>
-	</li>
-
-	<li>The Server part can be used three ways:
-	
-		<table border=1>
-			<tr>
-				<td><b>Server Definition</b></td> <td><b>Example</b></td>
-			</tr>

-* Design of the Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, and TDS Data Providers in Mono
-
-	<ul>
-		* After much discussion among the Mono ADO.NET developers,
-		  we have come up with the design of implementing a Sybase, Microsoft 
-		  SQL Server, and TDS Generic ADO.NET providers.  These providers have
-		  been created and are actively developed by Tim Coleman.
-
-		* Since Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server databases both 
-		  use the TDS protocol for data access, and other implementations 
-		  of TDS (FreeTDS and jTDS) have included support for multiple 
-		  versions of the TDS, we have decided to do the same.
-
-		* The TdsClient ADO.NET provider will be Mono's first provider 
-		  written completely in C# without any dependencies except 
-		  the usual suspects: corlib.dll, System.dll, and System.Xml.dll.
-	</ul>
-
-* New ADO.NET Providers
-
-<p>There will be three ADO.NET providers that will use TDS.	
-
-		<ol>
-		  <li><p>Mono.Data.SybaseClient namepace and assembly will 
-		  hold the ADO.NET provider for Sybase SQL Server database.  
-		  This provider uses TDS version 5.0 which 
-		  can only be used with Sybase databases.
-
-		  <li><p>System.Data.SqlClient namespace and System.Data assembly 
-		  will hold the ADO.NET provider
-          for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0/2000 databases.  This provider is to be 
-          compatible with SqlClient in Microsoft .NET and uses TDS version 7.0 
-          which only supports Microsoft SQL Server 7.0/2000.  
-          There is TDS version 8.0 
-          which we will need to support as well, but it is used for 
-          Microsoft SQL Server 2000 databases.
-
-		  <li><p>Mono.Data.TdsClient namespace and assembly is a generic 
-		  provider for older TDS databases.  This provider will default to 
-		  using TDS version 4.2 which can be used by older Sybase and 
-		  Microsoft SQL Server databases.
-		 </ol>
-
-* Building The New Providers
-
- <p> All three providers will use common internal code 
-		at Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal.  Any classes in 
-		Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal will have the internal 
-		keyword and will be built with the assembly of that provider.
-		<ol>
-		<li><p>SqlClient will build its assembly System.Data using files 
-		  from System.Data, System.Data.SqlClient, System.Data.SqlTypes, 
-		  System.Data.Common, and Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal.  
-		 
-		  <p>SqlClient 
-		  will only reference the usual
-		  suspects: corlib.dll, System.dll, and System.Xml.dll. SqlClient will be 
-		  a wrapper around TdsClient.Internal, but provide specific functionality to
-		  Microsoft SQL Server 7.0/2000 databases.
-
-		  <p>SqlClient build example:
-
-<pre>
- mcs -target:library -out:System.Data.dll \
-   System.Data.SqlClient/*.cs \
-   ..\Mono.Data.TdsClient\Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal\*.cs \
-   [any other classes in System.Data assembly...]  \
-   -r corlib.dll -r System.dll -r System.Xml.dll
-</pre>
-
-		<li><p>SybaseClient will build its assembly Mono.Data.SybaseClient using 
-		  files from Mono.Data.SybaseClient and Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal.  
-		  SybaseClient will reference
-          the usual suspects plus System.Data.dll  SybaseClient will 
-          be a wrapper around TdsClient.Internal, but provide specific 
-          functionality to Sybase.
-
-		  <p>SybaseClient build example:
-
-<pre>
- mcs -target:library -out:Mono.Data.SybaseClient.dll \
-    Mono.Data.SybaseClient\*.cs \
-    ..\Mono.Data.TdsClient\Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal\*.cs
-    -r corlib.dll -r System.dll -r System.Xml.dll -r System.Data.dll
-</pre>
-    
-		<li><p>TdsClient will build its assembly Mono.Data.TdsClient 
-		  using files from Mono.Data.TdsClient
-          and Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal.  TdsClient will reference the 
-          usual suspects plus System.Data.dll  TdsClient is a wrapper 
-          provider around TdsClient.Internal used for generic
-          unit tests.  TdsClient will a wrapper around TdsClient.Internal 
-          as a generic TDS provider 
-          and allow TDS configuration options not exposed in SqlClient 
-          nor SybaseClient, such as, TdsVersion will be exposed in TdsClient 
-          but not in SqlClient nor SybaseClient.
-
-		 <p>TdsClient build example:
-
-<pre>
-mcs -target:library -out:Mono.Data.TdsClient.dll \
-    Mono.Data.TdsClient\*.cs \
-    Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal\*.cs \
-    -r corlib.dll -r System.dll -r System.Xml.dll -r System.Data.dll
-</pre>
-		</ol>
-    
-* Classes in Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal will:
-
-	<ul>
-	<li>use the internal keyword to prevent exposing these classes
-          to the System.Data.dll assembly.
-          
-    <li> implement the ADO.NET interfaces just like any other ADO.NET provider, such as,
-          IDbConnection, IDbCommand, IDataReader, IDataRecord, IDataAdapter, etc...
-          
-    <li> be sealed just like other providers
-        
-    <li> provide features to be directly used by the SqlClient and SybaseClient 
-          providers, such
-          as, setting the default TDS version: SqlClient to 7.0 and SybaseClient 
-          to 5.0 and TdsClient to 4.2.
-          
-    <li> be written completely in C# or IL assembly language (if need be).
-        
-    <li> implement the TDS protocol version 4.2, 5.0, 7.0, and 8.0. This 
-          is where most of the
-          work will take place.
-          
-    <li> be an internal ADO.NET provider to the public ADO.NET providers:
-          System.Data.SqlClient, Mono.Data.SybaseClient, and Mono.Data.TdsClient.
-	</ul>
-
-* Implementation Details of the TDS Protocol
-
-	<ul>
-		* will be implemented in pure C# from scratch
-		
-		* will reside in Mono.Data.TdsClient.Internal  
-		
-		* will use FreeTDS and jTDS as rerferences.
-	</ul>
-
-* More Information
-
-	<ul>
-		* <a href="http://www.freetds.org/">FreeTDS</a> is C API that implements
-		the TDS protocol.  Has libraries for tds, ctlib, and dblib.  It builds
-		and runs on Windows, Linux, and other platforms.  FreeTDS provides
-		data access to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases.

-* Testing
-
-	Testing is an important part of the Mono project: every one of its
-	three major components has a test suite tailored for its needs.  This
-	is very helpful, because in the course of developing the software it
-	is very common to introduce bugs in existing code.  A test suite
-	helps us fix the bugs as soon as they are introduced.
-
-	There are various kinds of tests in Mono:
-	<ul>
-		<li><a href="#unit"><b>Class Library Unit
-		Tests:</b></a> These are used to test the class
-		libraries.
-
-		<li><a href="#compiler"><b>Compiler tests</b></a>: Both
-		tests that should pass and tests that should fail are included. 
-
-		<li><a href="#runtime"><b>Runtime tests</b></a>: Tests for 
-		the virtual machine.
-
-		<li><a href="#aspnet"><b>ASP.NET tests</b></a>: ASP.NET tests.
-
-		<li><a href="#ws"><b>Web Services tests</b></a>: Web Services 
-		client/server tests.
-	</ul>
-
-<a name="unit"></a>
-* Class Library Tests
-
-	All classes in Mono libraries should have comprehensive unit test
-	suites to go with them.  Unit testing is a software engineering
-  	methodology that makes it easier to build correct code.  Every
-  	method in every class should have a set of tests to verify
-  	that they work correctly.  Mono also needs a testing framework
-	to make it easy to write and run lots of tests. 
-
-	In some classes, we might also provide standalone tests because of
-	some reasons such as too huge testcases, another downloading and so on.
-	(For example, managed XSLT has standalone test which downloads and
-	expands some megabytes of OASIS test suite.)
-
-	Here I list them up as long as I know. If you are going to add another
-	standalone tests, please add one line here. It is also recommended that
-	you add some notes on how to build and run tests.
-
-	<ul>
-
-		* Mono.Data/test/
-		* System.Data/Test, and some individual ADO.NET libraries:
-		  there are some standalone tests. See the bottom of <a href="ado-net.html">
-		  ADO.NET page</a> for detail.
-		* System.Web/Test/TestMonoWeb : see README
-		* System.Web.Services/Test/standalone : see README
-		* System.Windows.Forms/SWFTest/
-		* System.XML/Tests/System.Xml.Schema/standalone_tests : see README
-		* System.XML/System.Xml.Serialization/standalone_tests/
-		* System.XML/Tests/System.Xml.Xsl/standalone_tests : see README
-
-	</ul>
-
-** Getting started
-
-	If you are new to writing NUnit tests, there is a template you may use
-	to help get started. The file is:
-
-		<b>mcs/class/doc/TemplateTest.cs</b>
-
-	Save a copy of this file in the appropriate test subdirecty
-	(see below), and replace all the {text} markers with
-	appropriate code. Comments in the template are there to guide
-	you. You should also look at existing tests to see how other
-	people have written them.
-	mcs/class/corlib/Test/System.Collections/CollectionBaseTest.cs
-	is a small one that might help.
-
-	The directory that will contain your new file depends on the
-	assembly/namespace of the class for which you are creating the
-	tests.  Under mcs/class there is a directory for each
-	assembly. In each assembly there is a Test directory,
-	e.g. mcs/class/corlib/Test. In the Test directory there are
-	sub-directories for each namespace in the assembly,
-	e.g. mcs/class/corlib/Test/Sytem. Put your new test file in
-	the appropriate sub-directory under Test for the class you are
-	testing.
-	
-	Once all of that is done, you can do a 'make test' from the top mcs
-	directory.  Your test class needs also to be listed in the
-	.sources file at the top of the Test directory.
-
-* Tips on writing Unit tests.
-
-	You should look at the <a href="http://nunit.org">NUnit documentation</a>,
-	as it is a fantastic product, and includes fantastic documentation,
-	but here are some tips for those of you who are already reading
-	this web page.
-
-
-** Provide an unique error message for Assert()
-
-	Include an unique message for each Assert() so that when the assert
-	fails, it is trivial to locate it in the source. Otherwise, it may be
-	difficult to determine which part of the test is failing. A good way
-	to ensure unique messages is to use something like #A01, #A02 etc.
-
-	    Ok:
-	<pre>
-	
-		AssertEquals("array match", compare[0], i1[0]);
-		AssertEquals("array match", compare[1], i1[1]);
-		AssertEquals("array match", compare[2], i1[2]);
-		AssertEquals("array match", compare[3], i1[3]);
-	</pre>
-
-	    Excellent:
-	<pre>
-		AssertEquals("#A01", compare[0], i1[0]);
-		AssertEquals("#A02", compare[1], i1[1]);
-		AssertEquals("#A03", compare[2], i1[2]);
-		AssertEquals("#A04", compare[3], i1[3]);
-	</pre>
-	
-	Once you used such a number in an Assert(), don't change it later on -
-	people might use it it identify the test in bug reports or in mailing
-	lists.
-
-** Use AssertEquals() to compare things, not Assert().
-
-	Do not compare two values with Assert() - if the test fails,
-	people have no idea what went wrong while AssertEquals()
-	reports the failed value.
-
-	Ok:
-	<pre>
-	        Assert ("A01", myTicks[0] == t1.Ticks);
-	</pre>
-
-	Excellent:
-	<pre>
-	        AssertEquals ("A01", myTicks[0], t1.Ticks);
-	</pre>
-
-** Test your test with the Microsoft runtime
-	
-	If possible, try to run your testsuite with the Microsoft runtime on
-	.NET on Windows and make sure all tests in it pass. This is especially
-	important if you're writing a totally new testcase - without this
-	check you can never be sure that your testcase contains no bugs ....
-	
-	Don't worry if you're writing your test on Linux, other people can
-	test it for you on Windows.
-	
-	Sometimes you may discover that a test doesn't show the expected
-	result when run with the Microsoft runtime - either because there is a
-	bug in their runtime or something is misleading or wrong in their
-	documentation. In this case, please put a detailed description of the
-	problem to mcs/class/doc/API-notes and do also report it to the 
-	<a href="mailing-lists.html">mailing list</a> - we'll forward this to the
-	Microsoft people from time to time to help them fix their documentation
-	and runtime.
-
-** Unit tests.
-
-	Why do unit testing? It becomes simple to run automated tests
-	for the whole library. Unit tests are a safety net - you can
-	change part of the code and verify that you haven't broken
-	anything. Ideally, tests are written before the actual library
-	code itself. And every time a bug is discovered, a test should
-	be written to demonstrate the bug and its fix. Then, if
-	you ever reintroduce the bug, you will know immediately. For
-	more info, read <a
-	href="http://junit.sourceforge.net/doc/testinfected/testing.htm">
-	JUnit Test Infected: Programmers Love Writing Tests</a>.
-
-
-** Getting Started
-
-	We welcome all contributions to the Class Libary Test Suite.
-
-	There is information to help you get started in CVS at
-	mcs/class/doc/NUnitGuidelines. Once you have written your test, please
-	post it to <a href="mailing-lists.html">mono-list</a>.
-
-	Someone will make sure to add the file or apply the patch as
-	appropriate. If you plan to be an on-going contributor and
-	would like to get cvs account, email <a href="mailto:miguel@ximian.com">miguel</a>.
-
-	Normally, after you send a couple of well-written new files
-	and/or patches to the list, you will be given cvs access.
-
-<a name="compiler"></a>
-* Compiler tests
-
-	Mono ships with three compilers: C#, VB.NET and JScript.  The
-	tests are ran by running the makefile target `make
-	run-test-local' in the appropriate directory.
-
-	The C# compilation tests live in mcs/tests, and the C# error
-	tests live in mcs/errors.
-
-	The VB.NET compilation tests live in mcs/btests. 
-
-<a name="runtime"></a>
-* Runtime Tests
-
-	These tests verify the virtual machine, to run these tests, do:
-
-<pre>
-	cd mono/mono/tests
-	make test
-</pre>
-
-<a name="aspnet"></a>
-* ASP.NET tests
-
-	XSP, the Mono ASP.NET server has tests for ASP.NET pages. It uses
-	<a href="http://nunitasp.sourceforge.net">NUnitAsp</a>. Right now
-	it only has standalone tests, ie., tests that do not need their own
-	global.asax or web.config files.
-
-	If you want to run them, get the xsp CVS module and install it. Then:
-<pre>
-	cd xsp/nunit-tests
-	make
-	cd standalone
-	xsp
-</pre>
-
-	And from another terminal:
-<pre>
-	cd xsp/nunit-tests/standalone
-	nunit-console standalone-tests.dll
-</pre>
-
-<a name="ws"></a>
-* Web Services tests
-
-	The Test directory for the System.Web.Services assembly contains a
-	standalone test suite for testing web services. It tests:
-
-	<ul>
-	<li>Proxy generation using the wsdl tool</li>
-	<li>Access to web services using the generated client proxies</li>
-	<li>Execution of web services in the server</li>
-	</ul>
-
-	This suite not only tests web services running on XSP, but it can also test
-	services running on other platforms and that are available in internet. This
-	will help track down interoperability issues.
-
-	To build the test suite, just run:
-	
-<pre>
-	cd mcs/class/System.Web.Services/Test/standalone
-	xsp --root server
-</pre>
-	
-	And from another terminal:
-<pre>
-	cd mcs/class/System.Web.Services/Test/standalone
-	make
-	nunit-console testclient.dll
-</pre>
-	
-	This will download the wsdl documents, generate the proxies, build a dll with
-	the proxies, and build the nunit tests. Then you can use nunit-console or
-	gnunit to run the tests (the nunit dll is testclient.dll).
-
-	Read the README file in mcs/class/System.Web.Services/Test/standalone for
-	more info.

-* Tools
-
-	We need a number of tools to make people productive using a
-	Mono-based solution.  Some of these tools can be developed on
-	Windows before Mono is fully finished.
-
-	All of these tools should be written using C#.  
-
-	For the tools that are typically command line tools: Try to
-	write these as components that could load their input from
-	streams or collections of streams, and implement the command
-	line tools as wrappers around those classes.
-
-	For example, we will be making the C# compiler a component
-	that could be reused by applications that might have a use for
-	the various bits of the compiler (either to embed the
-	compiler, or reuse the code generator part of it).  
-
-	This is important so that these components (compiler,
-	assembler, linker, etc) can be integrated later into the
-	visual development environment (hopefully with the help of the
-	SharpDevelop hackers). 
-
-TODO=ilasm,IL Assembler
-** IL Assembler.
-
-	This assembler should basically take as input a file
-	containing IL bytecodes as specified in the `Partition II' of
-	the ECMA spec, and produce a binary file.
-
-TODO=al,Assembly Linker
-** Assembly Linker.
-
-	This tool is used to construct assemblies, which are basically
-	deployment units for CLI executables.
-
-TODO=debugger,Debugger
-** Debugger
-
-	We will need a debugging API to debug CLI applications and
-	then a debugger component that can be used in an IDE
-	environment.
-
-TODO=ide,Integrated Development Environment
-** Integrated Development Environment
-
-	There is already a project to create a C# development
-	environment: <a
-	href="http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/default.asp">SharpDevelop</a>.
-	People should work with the SharpDevelop hackers to produce a
-	unified development environment.
-
-	Please work with the SharpDevelop hackers to build a good IDE.
-	We will work on creating an embedable compiler component and
-	an embeddable debugger component that can be used withing
-	SharpDevelop
-
-TODO=hbrowser,Help Browser
-** Help Browser
-
-	We need a good help browser that can be used to browse
-	documentation.  Ideally this help browser can accept as input
-	XML Docbook input and an assorted set of file formats
-	(Microsoft Help, Unix manual pages, Unix Info pages)
-
-	Look at the GNOME DevHelp for a good set of ideas on how to
-	implement this.

-* System.Windows.Forms
-
-	Currently Windows.Forms support is not finished.
-
-	The System.Windows.Forms effort is taking two paths: 
-
-	<ul>
-		<li>Win32/Wine-based: This effort will use the Win32
-		API, and use a stub program to run the with Wine.
-		This allows applications that use P/Invoke to
-		function, and event delivery through the Wndproc
-		method to work for the most advanced and custom
-		applications.  This is the path of best compatibility.
-
-		Also, work on a Gtk-based rendered for Wine will be
-		done, to make the user interface integrate with your
-		desktop look.
-
-		<li>Gtk# based: This effort will build a subset of
-		Windows.Forms that uses Gtk#.  This gives a better
-		integration with the desktop, but will not be
-		completely compatible with the Windows edition.  In
-		particular code that uses P/Invoke to call into Win32
-		or overwrite the Wndproc method to achieve special
-		effects will not work.
-	</ul>
-
-* Win32/Wine edition.
-
-	To get the Windows.Forms support working, you need a Mono
-	installation from CVS, and you need to install Wine plus the
-	<a href="http://www.openlinksw.com">OpenLink patch</a>, and
-	define the environment variable "SWF" (export SWF=1 from your
-	shell). For more information, see the <a

-
-	This means that those who want to contribute to the effort can
-	develop and test classes today using Windows and P/Invoke
-	calls to Win32 and we will then just run the result on Unix. 
-
-	In terms of integrating visually with the desktop, we are

-* XML Classes
-
-** Abstract
-
-  XML library is used by several field of Mono such as ADO.NET and XML 
-  Digital Signature (xmldsig). Here I write about System.Xml.dll and 
-  related tools. This page won't include any classes which are in other 
-  assemblies such as XmlDataDocument.
-
-  Note that current corlib has its own XML parser class named Mono.Xml.MiniParser.
-
-  Basically System.XML.dll feature has finished, or almost finished, so
-  I write this page mainly for bugs and improvement hints.
-
-
-** System.Xml namespace
-
-
-*** Document Object Model (Core)
-
-  DOM feature has already implemented. There is still missing feature.
-
-	<ul>
-		* ID constraint support is problematic because W3C DOM does not 
-		  specify handling of ID attributes into non-adapted element. 
-		  (MS.NET also looks incomplete in this area).
-		* I think, event feature is not fully tested. There are no
-		  concrete desctiption on which events are risen, so we have to
-		  do some experiment on MS.NET.
-	</ul>
-
-*** Xml Writer
-
-  Here XmlWriter almost equals to XmlTextWriter. If you want to see
-  another implementation, check XmlNodeWriter.cs used in monodoc.
-
-  XmlTextWriter is completed. However, it looks slower than MS.NET (I 
-  tried 1.1). After some optimization, it became better, but maybe it can be
-  done more.
-
-*** XmlResolver
-
-  Currently XmlTextReader uses specified XmlResolver. If nothing was supplied,
-  then it uses XmlUrlResolver. XmlResolver is used to parse external DTD,
-  importing XSL stylesheets and schemas etc.
-
-  However, XmlUrlResolver is still buggy (mainly because System.Uri is also
-  incomplete yet) and this results in several loading error.
-
-  XmlSecureResolver, which is introduced in MS .NET Framework 1.1 is basically
-  implemented, but it requires CAS (code access security) feature. We need to
-  fixup this class after ongoing CAS effort works.
-
-  You might also be interested in an improved <a href="http://codeblogs.ximian.com/blogs/benm/archives/000039.html">XmlCachingResolver</a> by Ben Maurer.
-
-*** XmlNameTable
-
-  XmlNameTable itself is implemented. However, it should be actually used in
-  several classes. Currently it makes sense if compared names are both in
-  the table, they should be simply compared using ReferenceEquals(). We 
-  have partially done in XmlNamespaceManager (in .NET 1.2 methods; if the
-  build is not NET_1_2 then it is internal use only).
-
-*** Xml Stream Reader
-
-  When we are using ASCII document, we don't care which encoding we are using.
-  However, XmlTextReader must be aware of the specified encoding in XML
-  declaration. So we have internal XmlStreamReader class (and currently
-  XmlInputStream class. This may disappear since XmlStreamReader is enough to
-  handle this problem).
-
-  However, there seems some problems in these classes on reading network
-  stream (especially on Linux). This should be fixed soon, if we found the
-  actual reason.
-
-*** XML Reader
-
-  XmlTextReader, XmlNodeReader and XmlValidatingReader are almost finished.
-
-	<ul>
-		* All OASIS conformance test passes as Microsoft does. Some 
-		  W3C tests fail, but it looks better.
-		* Entity expansion and its well-formedness check is incomplete.
-		  It incorrectly allows divided content models. It incorrectly
-		  treats its Base URI, so some dtd fails.
-		* Unicode surrogate pair character is not supported yet.
-		* I won't add any XDR support on XmlValidatingReader. (I haven't
-		  ever seen XDR used other than Microsoft's BizTalk Server 2000,
-		  and Now they have 2002 with XML Schema support)
-	</ul>
-
-  XmlTextReader and XmlValidatingReader should be faster than now. Currently
-  XmlTextReader looks nearly twice as slow as MS.NET, and XmlValidatingReader
-  (which uses this slow XmlTextReader) looks nearly three times slower. (Note
-  that XmlValidatingReader won't be slow as itself. It uses schema validating
-  reader and dtd validating reader.)
-
-
-**** Some Advantages
-
-  The design of Mono's XmlValidatingReader is radically different from
-  that of Microsoft's implementation. Under MS.NET, DTD content validation
-  engine is in fact simple replacement of XML Schema validation engine.
-  Mono's DTD validation is designed fully separate and does validation
-  as normal XML parser does. For example, Mono allows non-deterministic DTD.
-
-  Another advantage of this XmlValidatingReader is support for *any* XmlReader.
-  Microsoft supports only XmlTextReader.
-
-  I added extra support interface named "IHasXmlParserContext", which is
-  considered in XmlValidatingReader.ResolveEntity(). Microsoft failed to 
-  design XmlReader to support pluggable use of XmlReader (i.e. wrapping use
-  of other XmlReader) since XmlParserContext is required to support both
-  entity resolution and namespace manager. (In .NET 1.2, Microsoft also 
-  supported similar to IHasXmlParserContext, named IXmlNamespaceResolver,
-  but it still does not provide any DTD information.)
-
-  We also have RELAX NG validating reader. See mcs/class/Commons.Xml.Relaxng.
-
-
-** System.Xml.Schema
-
-*** Summary
-
-  Basically it is completed. We can compile complex and simple types, refer to
-  external schemas, extend or restrict other types, or use substitution groups.
-  You can test how current schema validation engine is (in)complete by using
-  standalone test module 
-  (see mcs/class/System.XML/Test/System.Xml.Schema/standalone_tests).
-  At least in my box, msxsdtest fails only 30 cases with bugfixed catalog.
-
-*** Schema Object Model
-
-  Completed, except for some things to be fixed:
-
-	<ul>
-		* Complete facet support. Currently some of them is missing.
-		  Recently David Sheldon is doing several fixes on them.
-		* ContentTypeParticle for pointless xs:choice is incomplete
-		  (It is because fixing this arose another bugs in 
-		  compilation. Interestingly, MS.NET also fails around here,
-		  so it might be nature of ContentTypeParticle design)
-		* Some derivation by restriction (DBR) handling is incorrect.
-		* Some simple type restriction handling is still incorrect.
-	</ul>
-
-*** Validating Reader
-
-  XML Schema validation feature is (currently) implemented on
-  Mono.Xml.Schema.XsdValidatingReader, which is internally used in
-  XmlValidatingReader.
-
-  Basically this is implemented and actually its feature is almost complete,
-  but I have only did validation feature testing. So we have to write more 
-  tests on properties, methods, and events (validation errors).
-
-
-** System.Xml.Serialization
-
-  Lluis rules ;-)
-
-  Well, in fact XmlSerializer is almost finished and is on bugfix phase.
-
-  However, we appliciate more tests. Please try 
-  
-  	<ul>
-		* System.Web.Services to invoke SOAP services.
-  		* xsd.exe and wsdl.exe to create classes.
-	</ul>
-
-  And if any problems were found, please file it to bugzilla.
-
-  Lluis also built interesting standalone test system placed under
-  mcs/class/System.Web.Services/Test/standalone.
-
-  You might also interested in genxs, which enables you to create custom
-  XML serializer. This is not included in Microsoft.NET. 
-  See mcs/tools/genxs for the details.
-
-
-** System.Xml.XPath and System.Xml.Xsl
-
-  There are two implementations for XSLT. One (and historical) implementation
-  is based on libxslt (aka Unmanaged XSLT). Now we uses fully implemented
-  managed XSLT. To use Unmanaged XSLT, set MONO_UNMANAGED_XSLT environment 
-  value (any value is acceptable).
-
-  As for Managed XSLT, we support msxsl:script.
-
-  It would be nice if we can support <a href="http://www.exslt.org/">EXSLT</a>.
-  <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/WebServices/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnexxml/html/xml05192003.asp">Microsoft has already done it</a>, but it
-  is not good code since it depends on internal concrete derivatives of
-  XPathNodeIterator classes. In general, .NET's "extension objects" is not
-  usable to return node-sets, so if we support EXSLT, it has to be done
-  internally inside our System.XML.dll. Volunteers are welcome.
-
-  Our managed XSLT implementation is still inefficient. XslTransform.Load()
-  and .Transform() looks three times slower (However it depends on 
-  XmlTextReader which is also slow, so we are starting optimization from
-  that class, not XSLT itself). These number are only for specific cases,
-  and there might be more critical point on XSLT engine (mainly
-  XPathNodeIterator).
-
-
-** System.Xml and ADO.NET v2.0
-
-  Microsoft introduced the first beta version of .NET Framework 1.2 runtime
-  and sdk (and Visual Studio Whidbey). They are now available on MSDN
-  _subscriber_ download (i.e. it is not publicly downloadable yet). It
-  contains several new classes.
-
-  There are two assemblies related to System.Xml v2.0; System.Xml.dll and
-  System.Data.SqlXml.dll (here I treat sqlxml.dll as part of System.Xml v2.0,
-  but note that it is also one of the ADO.NET 2.0 feature). There are several 
-  namespaces such as MS.Internal.Xml and System.Xml. Note that .NET Framework
-  is pre-release version and MS.Internal.Xml namespace apparently shows that
-  it is not in stable status as yet.
-
-  System.Xml 2.0 contains several features such as:
-
-  <ul>
-		* XPathNavigator2 and XPathDocument2
-		* XML Query
-		* XmlAdapter
-		* XSLT IL generator (similar to Apache XSLTC) - it is 
-		  internal use
-  </ul>
-
-  Tim Coleman started ADO.NET 2.0 related works. Currently I have no plan to
-  implement System.Xml v2.0 classes and won't touch with them immediately, 
-  but will start in next some months. If any of you wants to try this
-  frontier, we welcome your effort.
-
-*** XPathNavigator2
-
-  System.Xml v2.0 implementation will be started from XPathDocument2 and
-  XPathNavigator2 implementations. Firstly, its document structure and
-  basic navigation feature will be implemented. And next, XPath2 engine
-  should be implemented (XPathNavigator2 looks very different from
-  XPathNavigator). Another requirement is schema based validation feature.
-  It needs some schema improvements, such like IXmlInfosetReader support.
-  (IXmlInfosetReader is in MS.Internal.Xml.)
-
-*** XML Query
-
-  XML Query is a new face XML data manipulation language (well, at least new
-  to .NET world). It is similar to SQL, but intended to manipulate and to
-  support XML. It is similar to XSLT, but extended to support new features
-  such as XML Schema based datatypes.
-
-  XML Query implementation can be found mainly in System.Xml.Query and 
-  MS.Internal.Xml.Query namespaces. Note that they are in 
-  System.Data.SqlXml.dll.
-
-  MSDN documentation says that there are two kind of API for XML Query: High
-  Level API and Low Level API. At the time of this beta version, the Low Level
-  API is described not released yet (though it may be MS.Internal.Xml.*
-  classes). However, to implement the High Level API, the Low Level API will 
-  be used. They looks to have interesting class structures in MS.Internal.Xml 
-  related stuff, so it would be nice (and I will) start to learn about them.
-
-  They looks to have IL generator classes, but it would be difficult to
-  start from them.
-
-*** System.Data.Mapping
-
-  System.Data.Mapping and System.Data.Mapping.RelationalSchema are the
-  namespaces for mapping support between database and xml. This is at
-  stubbing phase (incomplete as yet).
-
-*** XmlAdapter
-
-  XmlAdapter is used to support XML based query and update using 
-  XPathDocument2 and XPathNavigator2. This class is designed to synthesize
-  ADO.NET and System.Xml. It connects to databases, and querys data however
-  in XML shape into XPathDocument2, using Mapping schema above. This must be
-  done after several classes such as XPathDocument2 and MappingSchema.
-
-
-** Miscellaneous Class Libraries
-
-*** RELAX NG
-
-  I implemented an experimental RelaxngValidatingReader. It is far from
-  complete, especially simplification stuff (see RELAX NG spec chapter 4),
-  some constraints (in chapter 7), and datatype handling.
-
-  I am planning improvements (starts with renaming classes, giving more
-  kind error messages, supporting compact syntax and even object mapping),
-  but it is still my wishlist.
-
-
-** Tools
-
-*** xsd.exe
-
-  See <a href="ado-net.html">ADO.NET page</a>.
-
-  Microsoft has another inference class from XmlReader to XmlSchemaCollection
-  (Microsoft.XsdInference). It may be useful, but it won't be so easy.
-
-
-** Miscellaneous
-
-  Sometimes I hear complain about System.dll and System.Xml.dll mutual
-  dependency: System.dll references to System.Xml.dll (e.g. 
-  System.Configuration.ConfigXmlDocument extended from XmlDocument), while 
-  System.Xml.dll vice versa (e.g. XmlUrlResolver.ResolveUri takes System.Uri).
-  Since they are in public method signatures, so at least we cannot get rid
-  of these mutual references.
-
-  However, for those who really want to build System.Xml.dll without System.dll,
-  I created <a href="http://primates.ximian.com/~atsushi/System_DummyClasses.cs">dummy classes in System.dll</a>. To build System.Xml.dll in such way, remove 
-  <code>/r:System.dll</code> from Makefile, and add this source to 
-  System.Xml.dll.sources. Note that this is at the point of Mono 0.30 release.
-
-  Also note that you still need System.dll to run mcs.
