No big deal, but I am surprised how many folks *do not* want the .NET
framework installed. Was there this kind of resistance years ago to
installing the VB Runtime on peoples machines? I mean, at the end of
the day, it just some dlls that do not modify the machine. They just
take up space on the box.<br>
<br>
With all the press and folks developing in C# I thought .NET had
penetrated the market much more than folks seem to indicate. It is just
curious to me that this is a concern since I don't really care if
Microsoft .NET can be utilized or not on your customer computers, nor
am I trying to advocate .NET over FFI.<br>
<br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">unfortunatly, this utility is supposed to&nbsp; be 
runned on customer's computers and I cannot assume that they have the dot net 
framework - in fact i'm sure that they do not and I don't want to install it 
before running my tool. </font></div>

  Alain,<br><br>If you already have the .NET 1.1 framework installed on your 
  computer then you can download the <a href="http://Squeak.NET" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">Squeak.NET</a> 
  bridge (available on SqueakMap) and at such time you know have access to over 
  3800 base class items exposed in the .NET framework by Microsoft. Of course, 
  there are registry classes in the Microsoft.Win32 namespace. Here's some 
  sample code:<br><br>
  <div style="margin-left: 40px; font-family: courier new,monospace;">localMachine := 
  DotNet Registry LocalMachine.<br>software := localMachine openSubKey: 
  'Software'.<br>software subKeyCount<span style="background-color: rgb(51, 255, 51);"> -&gt;
