For Mac Machines

[VJ]

Is there a version of Framework available for the Mac, Lunix machines?.. I
have a windows application that I want to be able to run on Mac and Lunix
machines.. what are my options

As long as your application doesn't need windows forms or advanced
multithreading this may work.

you may also try to use GTK# if you really need a graphical UI.

Microsoft research provides a shared-source version of the
CLR called "Rotor" which has been adapted to work in a
limited way on the Mac. Just Google for "rotor mac .net"
and you should find some information. Linux has the Mono
project.
As far as I know, however, neither of these projects
provides anywhere near as much functionality as .Net on
Windows.

HTH,

I agree with Carlos and Chris.

You have two bets. Either use the Rotor designed for FreeBSD, which won't
support anything outside of the System namespace.

Or try the PowerPC version of Mono they are moving along but it still isn't
up to the level of x86 version.

Are you wedded to using DotNet? As the other posters have said, Framework
support for the Mac really isn't there yet.

At the risk of getting flamed, Java might be your best bet for now. Another
option is RealBasic, which can compile GUI applications for Mac and PC.
(Linux support is promised for the next major release.)

What is "PC" in this context ?
