I am a very junior C programmer and need your help.
Being on a Solaris version 8 unix box, we program in C (Unix). Somebody did a C# program on an external windows box. We would like to create a process to run this C# program from a C program on our unix box. I was wondering if there is a way to do this?

To what effect? Be specific and we'll be specific in return.

It depends.
There is a way to do almost anything. If the program is not too advance, you could run it via WINE.
The better way of doing this, however, would be to find the source and recreate the program. Remember that *nix and Windows don't mix all that easily.
Assuming the code runs under WINE - which is a major assumption.
Kennedy is correct - porting to unix makes more sense. Or, possibly, running the code remotely on the Windows box, capturing output in a file and sending it to the unix box.
You can run C# programs on Unix. Check out http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page. I haven't tried it, though.
