Re: newby dll pc file and the iseries

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Short answer no.

Executable code for a PC isn't compatible with an i  (which is one
reason virus don't affect it)

Long answer, compiled C# like Java doesn't run directly on the
hardware.  You've got the JVM or CLR between the code and the
hardware.  So if you can find a CLR for the i, you could possibly run
your C# code.

As it happens, there's an open source project called Mono that is a
CLR for Linux.  You could possibly get this to run on your i (via
PASE)  In fact, there's a comment on this blog post from somebody
saying they were successful:

Look at mono here:
