Well MS VB will not work on Linux right?
Yeah but I found this

Witht his you can make a program on Windows and then save it as a Linux Binary file, and It will run on Linux!
I dont use this much, but as far as I read this does not support API but you can still program in Vb if you are on linux! ( TkTech said it can.. )

Hope you find this usefull!

is it the same syntax as vb, vb.net, etc? i assumed it was their take on basic, but no?

[TcM]

The syntax is more like VB, but its restricted! but cool for Linux users that want to learn VB

Hah, I've been using rb for years. No, its not restrictive in the slightest. The declare parameter allows you to use shared libraries and direct system calls (ie: api's) . It can convert Vb projects to Rb as well. The Rb3d envirment uses quesa with a simplified function set, classes, meathods, subs and modules. It is not restrictive in the slightest. Also allows Daemons and console apps.

Next time, try it for a bit before saying it cant do something.

So, it is RB instead of VB?

Heh I tried it and read on the net about it.... couldn't find a way to declare API's etc ( neither on the net ).. and the VB conversion wouldn't convert the projects correctly, all sorts of errors would come up!
Well nevermind....
