[Mono-list] Re: Visual Studio Addin for Mono

[Jim Erwin]

Francisco,

I will echo a couple of other comments I've seen concerning your add-in
for testing Mono stuff in vs.net. Your work IS appreciated. Please keep
the faith and keep on developing the add-in. I plan on downloading and
giving it a try as soon as my work schedule loosens up just a bit.

regards,

Jim Erwin
