More on Mono, Novell

In light of the recent Mono 1.0 release there is a lot of coverage on Novell and Mono lately. NewsForge recently talked with Erik Dasque, the senior project leader for Mono, about the release of 1.0, the controversy and criticisms encountered along the way, and the plans for the future, while Miguel de Icaza spoke to CNET News.com shortly before the company began shipping Mono version 1.0. Elsewhere, InfoWorld posted an article about the "new face" of Novell.

Re: More on Mono, Novell

Say if I want to write a *command-line* app in Mono, called as `tabify` that takes text file as input and sends text content to stdout.

Should the users use this command this way?

$ tabify.exe input.txt

Isn't that look ugly.

Regarding that platform independence, can the renaming part be just part of the deployer? (i.e. copy the file as `tabify` under UNIX but `tabify.exe` under Windows).

The same holds for .dll.
