: I guess thats posible. The question would be how would the Kaffe class
: libs access the low level stuff like files and the console. Would they
: need a suport lib of their own for that?
:
: Another question is, must all classes derive from System.Object? If so, I
: dont think you could just convert their corlib.


    Kaffe - A nice project to see, but I will definitely not focus on this right
now, at least this is my intention for the time being.
