Any decent real-VB-only alternatives?

Any decent > real-VB-only alternatives? The comp.lang.basic.visual.misc group used to be very busy up until two or three years ago. I still check that group every day, but it doesn't get much traffic these days. It will probably start to get busy again soon if the Micro$oft control freaks go ahead with their plans to ditch this group. Mike

Just one more step in the ending of Visual Basic. When I looked at the list of forums I saw the .Net framework and then saw Visual Basic. Stupid me thinking it might be a forum for Visual Basic, instead of Visual Basic .net. It is really time to switch to some other program language that is not owned by Microsoft and I guess time to make up my mind between some form of Linux or Mac. Norm |
