While not part of the Mono project per se, you might want to take a look
at Chrome, the Object Pascal compiler for .NET and Mono that we
currently are working on at RemObjects Software. 

The command line edition will be available free (and a free public
preview is actually available at this time), and fully supports Mono
(compiling against and running under), including the ability to
cross-link from .NET against Mono libraries and vice versa.


Rather then reinventing the wheel and writing another Pascal compiler
for Mono, why not get involved with Chrome a bit more and help us make
sure Chrome will suit the needs of Mono developers? We could use
assistance and feedback from the Mono crowd on many levels.

I've spoken with Miguel extensively on several occasions about Chrome
and our support for Mono, and he was very enthusiastic and supportive of
our goal of making Chrome /the/ next generation object pascal compiler
for Mono, and a well-accepted part of the mono family.


More information on Chrome can be found at http://www.chromesville.com
or in our newsgroup at

to answer any questions you may have, here or via email.
