About SSCLI
Released on March 27th 2002, Rotor provides a free, shared source implementation of the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI), including source code for C# and Jscript compilers. It also contains source code for a variety of useful developer tools, including a Common Intermediate Language (CIL) assembler, a disassembler, debugger, profiler, and assembly linker. This implementation builds and runs on Windows XP, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X 10.2. SSCLI code may be used, modified and re-distributed for non-commercial experimentation, as a basis for courseware or lab projects, or as a guide for those developing their own commercial ECMA implementations. The specifications are ratified as international standards by ECMA (CLI and C#) and ISO (CLI and C#). SSCLI is available for download at http://msdn.microsoft.com/net/sscli/
