RE: [VB4Linux-Dev] compiler

[Abhijit P. <abh...@ma...>]

if necessary, I can implement the syntax checker in the compiler..that is
not the problem...then it shall compile like the other usual C/C++ programs

right now, let us not base it on VB.NET.....I thought about this some time
ago, and came to conclusion that we need to have the base development
environment ready forst...it is still some time till the VB.NET is formally
out and programmers build applications based on it. Right now, I want
VB4Linux to be a stable and comprehensive VB development environment. Lets
build it from the base.

the focus right now shall be to make all the existing VB programs developed
in VB6.0 or eariler to work with the compiler.....we can think about VB.NET
in the later phases.

Regards,
abhi
