[Mono-winforms-list] running a win32 winforms app

[Alexandre Pigolkine]

Hello,

I would recommend to get current CVS version of Mono runtime and
class libraries. As I remember, some important changes were made to SWF
since 0.24 release.

If you need more information, IMO here is a good description of how to run
SWF
applications on Mono with WineLib:
http://www.freax.be/mono.html
(http://www.nullenvoid.com/mono/wiki/index.php/Installing%20mono%20for%20dev
elopment%20usage)
see section "Patching wine to get System.Windows.Forms working".
