Hi,
I have spent some time to investigate the mixed-mode msvcrt issue.
There are three different runtime DLLs:
msvcm80/90.dll managed C++ runtime implemented using native code
msvcp80/90.dll C++ runtime
msvcr80/90.dll C runtime
The managed version does only have it's own functionaly while even

I've learned the hard way that it doesn't make sense to discuss this stuff

I've learned the hard way that it doesn't make sense to discuss this stuff
before you actually have the code. So I'd suggest you first go and see if you
can get the authors of that dll to agree to relicense for you and once that's
done, we can discuss what happens with Wine's copy.
I'll try

I'm not sure if you

version, or get Transgaming's most recent ReWind version and start
from there.

But Wine has its own increasingly useful implementation of msvcrt,
at least the part that uses the C api. (The C++ api is difficult for us
because it has to be written in C; g++ uses a different ABI than Microsoft
C++.)
Perhaps, once we work the kinks out, Mono can

Bleah. Well, you gotta do what
