way back when i was young enough to go to college and actually learn stuff,
the profs had us write a "compiler" using machine code. ( a drudgery of the
worst sort!)

so i asked the prof what took our machine code and compiled it?

he said it was the same code that the hardware code was made from.

hmmmm., so i asked where to find it. he said thats your task, not mine.

dont be put off by these naysayers, just consider if VB will be around long
enough to support your own product ;-))
