We can do a command line tool called from the VBIDE that reinterprets the
BASIC syntax to C, like gjc or similiar.

But another problem is in my mind: the OCX support. How we can implement the
OCX linkage?
I was thinking to an open library like the VCL for Delphi.

ok my SF Unix name is: ab_p

hey man...before we start off, we need the requirement specifications
document for the project it is important.
Also, we need to clearly define the architecture and figure out the
modules so that they can be worked upon individually by different
programmers.
Since GNOME and KDE can co-exist, GNOME-version and KDE-version would not
be necessary. We would use the basic Gtk+ library. For that matter, Glade
would be fine but, then you have to decide if it provides sufficient
degree of control.

Also, it would be great if we could separate the back end engine from the
front end GUI again for modularity.
we could actually develop the front end and the back end separately.
We can then integrate them together.

Before I begin working on the main window for the GUI (seems to be the
obvious place to start...), I'd like opinions of how the windows should
be designed... The GUI must be 100% X11 compatible so that anyone can
use it... For now at least so we don't have to make a "GNOME-version"
and "KDE-version" etc (unless someone knows how to have it do GNOME is
running in GNOME and KDE if in KDE etc...)... Anyway, I was thinking
about using Glade without the GNOME functions for the GUI... Of course,
that's all I know about as far as GUI development anyway (besides doing
raw C)... Any other ideas?
