The other downside is that it seems that VB6 is a different language that VBScript (used on web browsers) and different than VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). Someone who knows that stuff could probably say `this is a subset of that' or something along those lines and write a compiler that would work for all three. At least VBscript and VBA would be reusable elsewhere, and the VB6 support could help move *some* applications from Windows to Linux. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
