Hi,
I have attached some prototype files for the project in which i intend to
undertake to understand a little more about how Linux Works. I am completely
new to Mono, so I decided to create a small app in Visual Studio 2008 which
I knew that works but I am getting several errors when building the solution
as stated below. This application runs off of a USB Pen drive called
KINGSTON at the moment which where the text file that is read and modified
is stored. 

Application Output:

Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: < 0
Parameter name: length
