http://www.go-mono.com/  - Open source port of C# project.

It claims to be available for x386 LINUX now.

Personally, as "mono" has not yet been seen to be ported to OpenVMS, I 
would prefer to work on an emulator in C or C++.

I would tend to choose C, mainly because I do not have much C++ experience.

Apparently C# is an interpreted language, so getting an emulator to run 
well on it might be a challenge, or require a very fast computer.
