== Compiling CIL ==

CIL can be very easily compiled by anyone who has the .NET framework installed on their computer, as it is distributed with a tool called the ILAsmILDAsm (IL Assembler). The ILAsmILDAsm executable can be found in the WINDOWS folder, on the root drive. The specific ___location of it may vary with the version of the Framework you have, but will be in at least one of the version folders in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework.

To compile a program with the ILAsm on a computer running Windows, simply execute this command in the Command Prompt:

ilasmildasm filename.il /exe

This will, literally, compile the filename referenced into a .exe file. You can change it to become a DLL, for example, by changing the last attribute to dll instead of exe.
