mbas isn't the answer to his question. mbas is implementing the Visual Basic .NET language, while Pomerantz Daniel is asking for a VB6-compatible language. As he mentions, they're not the same language.
It's possible that mbas could be extended to support VB6 syntax, but I don't know how feasible/practical that is. It might be better to fork mbas for VB6 support, assuming that it's practical to do that. - Jon On Fri, 2003-02-28 at 05:14, Richard Torkar wrote: > On Fri, 2003-02-28 at 02:08, Pomerantz Daniel wrote: > > First of all, I'd like to thank every one who's working on this > > project!
