Thanks, I send that mail before I saw the post with the dll.
I have done this myself for the three dlls that my *outdated* version
of ildasm did not dump. But i will have to try and reassamble them.

If you want to use the il from rotor/microsoft you need to do the
following manual modifications : (from the example of
mercury.construct__cpp_code)

1. comment out everything in CLASS STRUCTURE DECLARATION 
it is not standard IL.
// ============== CLASS STRUCTURE DECLARATION ==================
//
// Forwards
//.namespace mercury.construct__cpp_code
//{
 // .class /*02000002*/ public auto ansi mercury_code
 //        extends [mscorlib/* 23000001 */]System.Object/* 01000006 */
 // {
 // } // end of class mercury_code
//} // end of namespace mercury.construct__cpp_code
// =============================================================

2. move all the .data D_* statements to the top,
put them right under GLOBAL FIELDS AND METHODS 
// =============== GLOBAL FIELDS AND METHODS ===================
.data D_0000E948 = bytearray (      00 00 00 00) 

Then you can compile that with pnet/ILSAM

I will be producing a new version of rotor that has these patches,
but cannot seem to find the time.
