** ECMA Documentation.

	You can get the documentation for the ECMA specs from:

	<ul>
		* <a href="http://www.ecma.ch/ecma1/STAND/ecma-334.htm">C# Language Specification</a>
		* <a href="http://www.ecma.ch/ecma1/STAND/ecma-335.htm">Common Language Infrastructure</a>

	</ul>

	These contain specifications for the assembler, the metadata,
	byte codes supported by the CLI virtual machine, the C#
	language and the core class libraries.

	For details on the .NET class libraries, you can
	visit the Microsoft's Developer Network:
