[Mono-list] executable on MAC OS X?

[Darren Martz]

That sounds like something to add to the OSX distro. Unfortunately the guys
web links are gone along with the code.

Besides, it sounded like it made a few assumptions about how X Windows was
configured.

It would be really nice to have a custom launcher for each OS environment.

Someone actually built a launcher for .exe (.NET assembly format) files on
MacOS X. I think it's called Mono Starter and discussion about it can be
found in the archive of this list.
