wrong. C# is a dialect one can use to create .NET programs. .NET is a
bit similar to the Java concept. But there are numerous other languages
one can use to create .NET assemblies.
Mono is an attempt to create a .NET environment for the FOSS world.

OK, C# was derived from C++, Java, and Delphi. .NET is basically a byte
code interpreter
similar in concept to java's virtual machine. I was wrong in not
separating the C# language
compiler from the .NET environment. Mono consists of both. At one time
MS planned
a bunch of languages for the .NET environment that could inter-operate
at the byte code
level. I haven't heard what happened with that (probably because I just
don't care about
windoze and .NET).
Have fun,
Roy
