IIRC I ran it on Windoze using the .net runtime and on Linux using  
the mono runtime.  (The mono runtime was a LOT slower than the .net  
one.)

It wasn't so horribly slow that it would never get the job done, it  
just was slow enough that it didn't seem like a good idea to cut the C 
++ code loose.  I don't have enough time to work on both versions and  
I didn't feel that the C# version was competitive enough to let me  
drop the C++ version.  At the time the 1.2 features hadn't been  
developed/released and I didn't want to drop them.

Personally I think the world would be a better place if most higher  
level code was rewritten in Java, .net, or some other JIT'd high  
level language (still looking forward to doing my work in Ruby/ 
Parrot).  I'm very happy about M$'s commitment to C#.  I always  
wanted to start an open source project to reimplement all of the  
standard internet services in Java for security but never had the time.

I'd like to do a C# or Java version of SP but for now I'm going to  
just improve the C++ version as time allows.

All the best,
++Brian
