just one. They have the Java based CFML engine that runs on Java. Then
they compile that version, along with some special J# wrappers for Java
stuff not available in J#, to produce a .NET version.
Both the Java and .NET versions are one code base at the core.
This gives New Atlanta a huge advantage over Macromedia in that since MM's
CF engine produces Java byte code directly it'd be nearly impossible for MM
to port to .NET without re-writing. Remember that New Atlanta's engine is
an interpreter and not a compiler.
I believe, but an not certain, that MM is doing the same with the .NET
version of Flex--recompiling the Java classes under J#.

I do too! However, in the long run, I suspect it's going to be a lot of work
for New Atlanta to keep two separate products going. After all, they really
are two separate products, and all of the internals are certainly different,
since one product uses the Java class libraries and the other uses the .NET
Framework.
