Well, the /BEST/ way to do this would be to make a pre-emulator which
makes a Linux version of any DLL or OCX and then I can simply run all the
Visual Basic.NET DLLs and OCXes thru it... Whether this is possible tho,
is a different thing... Also, I'm pretty sure all the VB DLLs and OCXes
are okay to distribute cuz usually they'd be useless...
