Where do you get VB 6.0 for Linux?

Answer 1

Yes. In fact, it runs quite well.

Answer:On Linux though, it usually runs so much faster than it does on UNICOS, HP-UX, VSE, MPE or VMS... :)

Actually, it may be possible to do this under 'wine'. I have no doubt that someone, somewhere has done it under 'wine'.

A better solution would be to consider switching to a better programming language, such as GCC/G++ which runs perfectly under Linux.

Answer 2

There is no version of Visual Basic for Linux. It is possible to run Visual Basic 6 on Linux using a software library called "Wine", but you would still need to provide the copy of Visual Basic. Microsoft does not offer it for free download, and no longer sells it, but you may be able to find installation discs on eBay for a low price.

There are some programs for Linux that have comparable functionality to Visual Basic. These include:

• Gambas. Nearly identical GUI; minor differences in programming language. Available free.
• REALbasic. Commercial. Not very compatible with Visual Basic.
• RapidQ. Free. Not updated since 2000, may have trouble on modern Linux.
• BlitzMax. commercial. Oriented towards game creation.
