Encog 2.1 DotNet and Mono

Encog 2.1 for DotNet seems to work just fine with Mono. I downloaded a VMWare virtual machine from the Mono project to test it. You can see a screen shot of the OCR example program running under Mono and the SUSE Linux operating system. I did not need to recompile anything. I just downloaded the Encog C# examples, navigated to the OCR application folder and entered:

mono OCR.exe

And it started up. Seemed to train just fine as well. I also ran the XOR training program and it worked just fine. I want to do more testing with the mono platform, but for now it seems to work just fine! I am quite impressed that it handled the OCR example as well!

For those of you not familiar with Mono, it is an open source implementation of the DotNet CLR. It allows DotNet programs to be run under platforms other than Microsoft Windows.
