Mono

Version 2.3 and later does not work with mono. We are trying very hard to fix this. Work is being done to create a fully mono compatible version. If you have knowledge in gtk# you can port Compact Timer to Linux if you wish. Use the contact page to let us know that you will do this. That would be a great contribution. The last version should be much easier to port.
