Mono is a runtime environment for "managed code" -- code generated from C#, Visual Basic .NET, C++/CLI (with /clr:pure), boo, Nemerle.... In order to use Mono, you just need to execute a program written in one of those languages, such as MonoDevelop, Banshee, Beagle, etc. Running the program implicitly uses of Mono. You can either use one of those pre-existing programs, or create new programs using any language that targets Mono or .NET. - Jon _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
