*Novell Inc.'s mono 1.0 is an open-source implementation of Microsoft Corp.'s .Net development platform that provides companies with the opportunity to pursue the latest Microsoft development technologies while leaving open the door to cross-platform support. While the .Net Framework targets only Windows, Mono 1.0 supports Linux and Unix platforms, as well as systems running Windows and Mac OS X. Mono comprises a compiler for the C# programming language, a run-time engine for Microsoft's Common Language Infrastructure and a group of .Netcompatible class libraries that are required for running .Net applications with Mono. These libraries include opensource versions of Microsoft's ADO.Net data access and ASP.Net Web application development technologies. Mono 1.0 ships with MonoDevelop, a port of the open-source .Net IDE , integrated development environment, SharpDevelop to Gtk#. Mono's compiler supports C#, and a Mono compiler for Microsoft's Visual Basic .Net, called MBas, is under development.*
