Getting programs off win32 and on other platforms!

[Smithy006]

I've finally finished developing a program on VB and now I want to get it onto other platforms other than windows! Does anybody know any easy ways to get a VB app on other platforms without having to re-write my entire program in C++.

What do you mean by other platforms. Programs developed in vb cannot be transferred to other operating systems, unix,macos etc. :(

Other Platforms i.e Unix, Linux etc. I'm sure there are other ways to get around it. I.e some exe de-compiler or something. If I re-wrote the program in c++ I could re-compile it in literally any other platform.

yes but c++ is hard to learn :)
and decompiling.. no cos
1. its illegal (well maybe)
2. its nigh-on impossible, especially if u've compiled to native code.

vb is propriatery (spelling :) ), so progs made in vb cant be used on anythign but Win32

well. It's not illegal if I'm de-compiling my own program! I compiled in P-code because it create smaller exe's and is on par with native for most factors. See if I could de-compile it right down to where it calls for the VB runtimes etc then matybe I might stand a chance at making my app multi-platform.
