What is managed code?

DanRRight (if I remenber correctly) mentioned in the very interesting discussion in https://forums.silverfrost.com/Forum/Topic/1165 that FTN95 is capable of .NET. I never knew that: and I am sure that I am not the only one. Anyway, .NET somehow leads to the term managed code http://www.developer.com/net/cplus/print.php/2197621:

Anyway, .NET somehow leads to the term managed code http://www.developer.com/net/cplus/print.php/2197621: [quote:b17ddb3bf0]Managed Code is what Visual Basic .NET and C# compilers create. It compiles to Intermediate Language (IL), not to machine code that could run directly on your computer. The IL is kept in a file called an assembly, along with metadata that describes the classes, methods, and attributes (such as security requirements) of the code you've created. This assembly is the one-stop-shopping unit of deployment in the .NET world. You copy it to another server to deploy the assembly there—and often that copying is the only step required in the deployment.

So far so good. In which way can can I produce .NET programs with FTN95 - or how does one distinguish between .NET code and 'normal' code :?:

FTN95 produces a .NET assembly when you use /CLR on the command line.

Visual Studio and Plato both allow you to select this option by using 'Release .NET' etc on the main toolbar.
