There are several Beagle assemblies.  Util.dll is one,
BeagleClient.dll is another, BeagleDaemon.exe, etc.  As I've said,
there is a lot of Linux specific code you have to fix or remove or
replace, so it's probably better to take it a small piece at a time.

No, the Filter API is a Beagle-specific one; there aren't any other
.Net assemblies which provide that API.  There are a bunch of projects
which extract textual content from structured files, but they all have
their own APIs -- that is one of the things the Filter API was
designed to abstract away.
