As mentioned in the differences between Cumulus 1 and MX section earlier, Mono is the open source version of the propriety .Net. Both are sponsored by Microsoft.
=== Configuration, Log, and
Both Cumulus 1 and MX both use the same basic files: [[Cumulus.ini]], [[dayfile.txt]], [[today.ini]], [[month.ini]], [[year.ini]], [[alltime.ini]], [[monthlyalltime.ini]], indexT.htm,
The configuration file Cumulus.ini has some differences between Cumulus 1 and MX, see that wiki page for more information, but essentially each flavour will ignore the parts they don't understand, and add the additional parts that they need but the other did not use.
While Cumulus MX can read the '''today.ini''' produced by Cumulus 1, you probably need to edit the date format in the date at the start of that file before Cumulus 1 can read a '''today.ini''' produced by MX. MX uses ISO format dates with year first, Cumulus 1 uses the date format defined on your PC system that might have year last. Look up in this wiki pages for the Log Files [[:Category:Log Files|index page]] or the individual file pages just referenced to see the differences between file content, and what you ''may'' need to edit to use Cumulus 1 files with MX.
Both Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX supply a number of ''templates that are processed into web pages'', although the end produce web pages are identical, '''the templates are not interchangeable'''. However, there are files that Cumulus 1 uses (for example it uses several image files for the trends web page and a weather diary in a XML file) that are not used by MX and also many files that MX creates (for example json files) that were not part of Cumulus 1.
