Factor 0.60 has been released with the HTTP server working. Given that Factor has continuations it should be possible to do a continuation based framework add-on for the web server. 9:42:58 AM

I've compiled Portable.NET for the Zaurus running pdaxrom. This enables you to run some .NET programs on the Zaurus, including GUI programs that use System.Windows.Forms. You will need to install, in the following order: treecc_0.3.1alpha_arm.ipk (file no longer available) pnet_0.6.7alpha_arm.ipk (file no longer available) pnetlib_0.6.7alpha_arm.ipk (file no longer available) pnetc_0.6.7alpha_arm.ipk (file no longer available) Note that these are quite big, totaling about 18MB so I recommend they be installed in /mnt/user. I used the recent CVS version from yesterday hence the reason I marked them alpha. Some compiled examples to try are in pnet_samples.tar.gz (file no longer available). To run the executables use 'ilrun'. So to run the FormsTest.exe program use: ilrun FormsTest.exe 'cscc' can be used to compile C# programs on the Zaurus. The pnetc module is included which enables you to compile some C programs to .NET assembly on the Zaurus as well. See the Portable .NET site for information. 9:41:21 AM
