  Hello Grant,

This would likely be accepted by the contest, but it would force me to 
boot on my windows partition (which I prefer not to!). As Basile 
proposed another working suggestion, we will avoid the use of .Net.

The contest is IEEEXtreme programming competition ( 
http://www.ieee.org/membership_services/membership/students/competitions/xtreme/index.html 
).

Cheers.
