As do I, on a top shelf.  I remember that the executables I did cobble up 
were of the mambo-variety, although this dated from the pre-shared-libs 
era.  I tried hard but couldn't generate any interest in deploying this 
in a corporate/corporate-client arena.  

It seems that window-based apps are to have a Windows-oid flavour for a 
number of years to come.  Somehow this bothers me.
