Hey,you gave me a great idea! Could someone out there take time out from writing their OS's to make a VB to C++ translator? This would be the cure to all my problems and I wouldn't have to look forward to learning C++ for the simple reason of shrinking up my files.(Speed seems to be irrelevent with 700+ MZ chips out there).I think employers look at C++ as a "Payed your Dues" type language:Learn it and they'll welcome you into the club. But good luck to you in your new C++ world, come back and visit sometime.
