[Mono-winforms-list] Programs compiled on Delphi 2005 using MWFhang on exit

[Pavel Bansky]

Hi,

here you can find info about portability of D2005 apps
http://www.borland.com/delphi/pdf/del2005_faq.pdf

-- Cut from dal2005_faq.pdf --
Will Delphi 2005 support .NET on non-Windows platforms?
The .NET support in Delphi 2005 is designed and tested for .NET on the 
Windows platform. Delphi 2005 Microsoft .NET applications might run on 
non-Windows .NET implementations; however, Borland is not testing or 
certifying on non-Windows platforms.
