Not interpreted but just in time compilation. Normally with .net the compilation stage runs ngen and compiles the CIL (common intermediate language) down to native ahead of time and people deploy that. So it isn't usually the case that you can take the x86 version of a .NET application and run it on another architecture. You can however choose to take the CIL assembly and run that anywhere there is a CLR (and appropriate support libraries which is where Mono is sometimes lacking). I would also note that there are some cases where the JIT version is faster than the ahead of time compiled ngen output. -- Andy Leighton => an...@azaal.plus.com "We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!" - Douglas Adams
