[Mono-list] Mono / C# on PDAs

[Adam Treat]

AFAIK, mono does not have a working ARM port.  I've been told that 
DotGNU/Portable.NET has a working ARM port of ilrun, which also works with 
Qt#.  I would love to see a Qt# application running on the zaurus!  If you 
have any extra sitting around gathering dust I'd be willing to test this, 
hehe ;)  Of course, if you'd like to have a go yourself, I'd be happy to 
answer any questions you might encounter :-)

Cheers,

Adam
