Or let me suggest an alternative: Use the StarBasic that comes with OpenOffice.org. It's ninety plus percent compatible with Visual Basic, according to the hardened Windows users on the OpenOffice.org discuss list. It's GPLed or LGPLed, I forget precisely which. Which means that it is possible to port it to L/390. Wesley Parish -- Mau e ki, "He aha te mea nui?" You ask, "What is the most important thing?" Maku e ki, "He tangata, he tangata, he tangata."
