An open source implementation of the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) platform and the C# programming language from the GNU project. DotGNU Portable .NET runs under Linux, Unix, Windows and Mac, and the Portable .NET "ilrun" runtime engine has been created for several hardware platforms including x86, PPC, ARM and Sparc.
