[br]I'll delete this post after March 31 (in just a few days) because that's when this offer expires.

Visit http://www.realsoftware.com/vb6/ and get a free license for the Standard (Win and Mac) versions of RealBasic.  I've been playing with already for a few days and it looks really interesting.  It's MUCH better than PheonixBasic and XBasic.  I haven't done much with it yet, but it looks very promising.   It's apparently fully OO, which can be a pain for converting VB6 code, but it's a nice progression.  There IS a converter but I haven't tried it yet.

There is apparently a new version they're about to release, so that combined with the latest MS news about the VB6 petition, is the reason for this giveaway.  As I said earlier, it's only the Standard Edition.  To compile for Linux you'll need the Professional version.

One thing I've noticed is that when compiling a simple "empty form" application it's quite large, about 2 MB.  However, that's MUCH smaller than the 100+MB download for .NET, and there are no runtime dependencies because everything is compiled into the .exe file.

Eric Coleman	Posted - Apr 03 2005 : 8:27:04 PM It looks like the deadline as been extended to April 8, 2005, so if you haven't got a free license yet go get one! Why are you still reading this. I said go. Now.
ballistik	Posted - Mar 30 2005 : 11:20:46 PM Nice, I haven't used it yet but thanks for the link. I'll check it out. I've heard it's a decent language, guess now I will find out for sure how it is.
VBBR	Posted - Mar 30 2005 : 11:11:03 AM Thanks a lot, I've installed it here, looks promising.
cbx	Posted - Mar 30 2005 : 01:48:24 AM Thanks for the link! I'm trying it out right now. It's got built in support for 3D and sprite manipulation and so much more, sweet!
dxgame	Posted - Mar 29 2005 : 07:22:47 AM I just love freebies like this, thanks for posting!
