Hi!

If there's any body else at my level, this is a
difficult statement to understand.  What do you mean,
"P/Invoke is not a good idea, and it won't be
available"?  I thought P/Invoke was _the_ mono way to
connect to C programs?  please explain this because I
find it really difficult to understand.

Bye!
