Yes, but the license is restrictive, and you can't redistribute them with wine or mono, only with applications. When running apps that forgot to bundle them, I often use this script to download them from microsoft: http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks 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 rely on Wine once more to get this and related functionality. - Dan
