	Mike Kestner's Gtk# (Gtk-sharp) was checked into the CVS
	repository.  Gtk# can run a simple hello world application.
	The binding is nice, as it maps Gtk+ signals to delegates in
	C#.  You can see the Gtk# Hello World program <a href="src/HelloWorld.cs">here</a>

	Gtk-sharp should be available on the next snapshot set.

	Dietmar checked in his CIL tree/forest regeneration and most
	importantly, the x86 instruction selector burg grammar.


** Sep 5, 2001

	The MCS compiler <b>can compile the sample Hello World</b>
	application and generate a Windows/CIL executable that runs!

	This executable runs with the Mono Interpreter of course (see
	August 28)

** Sep 4, 2001

	Dietmar checked into CVS the `monoburg' architecture
	independent instruction selector for the JIT engine.

** Aug 28, 2001

	<b>.NET Hello World is working under Mono!</b>  The latest snapshots
	will let you run it.   

	Hello World consits of 1821 CIL instructions, 
        performs 66 subroutine calls and loads 12 classes from the corlib.dll

	Good work Mono team!
