I think there was a discussion about having a more OS native headers structure but some it became obvious very quickly that it was not possible with portability and compatibility in mind. It does make me wonder if an OS specific utility could be developed to convert an exe-file to a native OSX app type IF the developer wants it.

Hi Brian, The .exe file is the executable file format across all platforms that implement the .NET runtime, even for the Mac / PPC, so you've ended up with the correct type of file there. To run it at the command line on OS X you can simply type: mono helloworld.exe. Like java programs the executable you've made could be transferred from the Mac to a Linux PC for example, and it will still execute, and vice versa.
