Like Bob mentioned... something like that would be so easy to write, it
wouldn't be worth the hassle of connecting to .Net and it's 20mb framework
that would need to go along with your app everywhere you installed it. These
days, you can find just about anything the framework has (for desktop use)
in the form of a VB code snip/sample, somewhere on the web.
PlanetSourceCode.com alone has over 4 million lines of VB5/6 code
available... While there's some really good stuff there, you still have to
watch out for the whacko's <g>

VB5/6 "Code: 4,296,584. lines"

..Net "Code: 338,242. lines"
