Hi All,

As a long-time "admirer-from-afar" of Dylan, and a-propos the possibility of
.NET integration, I would say yes please, yes please, yes please, yes
please, ......

If F-O were merely to announce their _intention_ to do a .NET port, I'd be a
paying customer tomorrow!

Is this a realistic possibility?

cheers

has in the last 20 years.
