I do, for one. What about the rest of you?
How many of you also code in VB?

Now there is BlitzBasic for Windows but you cannot create GUIs with it.
And PB is even better as it creates smaller and faster standalones - so I think
- as BlitzBasic.

i code with VB6
its very complete, but as a lot of troubles:
1.- Its intrincated (as Gates mind), not complicated but you can get 'drunk' with so many features (most of them are only crap). Is like MSOffice: a lot of thinks, but only a few are good.
2.- Need huge and big dlls if you want to distribute your application. A simple 'hello world' zip package (if the user do not have any VB lib) could be up to2 megas !!!!
To many .ocx and garbage...
In the other hand, you can find thousands of examples and codes over internet.
I don't recommend it if any body want to develop and distribute applications. Try Pure Basic or Rapid-Q (Rapid-Q is not supported by the author anymore).
I think that using some API calls, you can do in Pure Basic the same things that in VB6 with a smaller executable.
MASM32 is another good choice, but its complicated.
I was wondering if somebody want to work in a project that translates VB code into Pure Basci code... could de cool !!!

I'm just trying to convert VB forms to PB forms (sorry Ricardo!).

VB has a lot of examples (just take a look in PlanetSource) and maybe developing a way to translate this code into Pure Basic can be interesting NOT ONLY to the users that actually uses VB... all the PureBasic users will like your idea. Continue doinf it !!!
Don't say: sorry he he, its a good idea to translate VB Forms to PB Forms.That's what I'm toying with at the moment.

All I do now is VB, ASP, and learning PureBasic and considering buying PB. =)
