Hi Kornél,

Thanks for your reply,

Does this mean that using mono on windos will imply to have allways a
dos box, no matter the value used for the /target option?

Does this also mean that in the future, mono runtime on windows will
allways generate a dos box withtout being a bug, according to your
description?

Cheers,
