Hi Rolf, Thanks for your reply and I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
Actually, I want to play around with the mono-basic source code to see if I can get it to compile so that I can learn more about how it works. I would like to get a pre-compiled version of mono vbnc to see if I can compile the sources after which I would like work with the code a bit and see if I can improve it some as it would make a good scripting language for general purposes as well and would like to see if it can be made into a standalone version. Mostly this is an initial learning exercise. Can you please tell me what was the last Mono version that had this functional runtime and compiler working so that I might be able to download that older version to get the pre-compiled vbnc and runtime out? Any information that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
