Didier - I appreciate your offer and will take you up on it. It seems like around 10 or more years ago VB came bundled with the software package that we got with the computers of the time. Being hard headed then, as I am now, I was just not in the mood to learn how to use it, especially since Basic at that time was still easily usable on most machines. The problem is, I have some Basic programs that have several thousand lines of code, not like the simple one I posted for phase noise. I do not know if I really want to take the time to convert them manually from regular basic to VB considering I may only use them once or twice a year. Let me know how much to send to cover your expenses. Thanks & 73 - Mike

You can directly reuse the source code for most of your algorithms, but you will have to rewrite the user interface. VB makes it really easy to generate a good looking visual interface that will make your program look professional. Of course, VB is Windows only. The most popular versions (in my opinion, not a scientific study :-) are: 1) VB 3.0, the oldest version that one might want to consider using because it was quite popular and useful, and I happen to have an old legitimate copy that I do not use anymore and I would be glad to let you have it for you to play with (and do such silly things as convert your old DOS BASIC programs...) if I can find it, 2) VB 6.0, the one I am currently using most, because it is WIDELY popular and used by a lot of professional software writers and very well supported by various groups on the Internet, and 3) VB.NET, the current version, where VB stands for Very Bloated. Nuf said. Being a MSDN licensee, I have access to all versions but I prefer VB 6.0 for general Windows software. Let me know if you are interested, I will dig up my old VB 3.0 disks.
