MightyPenguin:
Well? We're waiting...

And if not, is there an easy way to convert it?

Numsgil:
It depends if you can find msvb60.dll (I think that's what it's called) for a Mac.  Since this is visual basic, you need to have several DLLs to interpret function calls.  I don't know if you can find it for a Mac or not.  That goes for unix, linux, and any other operating system you can think of that's not windows.

If no such libraries exist, we'd have to port it to a new language.  Which, let me tell you, is about the hugest pain imaginable.  Not to mention we lose any forms, windows, etc. that we designed.  On the other hand, it would run alot faster.

MightyPenguin:
Um, do Macs even use .dll files? I know for a fact that they won't take .exe files, so you'd definitely need to recompile it.

Numsgil:
I found this link http://www.realsoftware.com/realbasic/guid...ingvisualbasic/.  So it might be possible, but it means alot of work in the end (like maybe two weeks of solid effort).

MightyPenguin:
...you're just saying that so you don't have to do more work. I week you could do it in a week if you wanted to.

And eat.
