+* Using Mono
+
+       Once you have installed the software, you can run a few programs:
+
+               monodis program.exe
+
+       That will dump the bytecodes for program.exe.  Monodis support
+       a number of options that dumps various metadata tables
+       (chapter 23 of the Partition III).
+
+       You can try the interpreter like this:
+
+               mint program.exe
