I'm still liking Visual BASIC 6.0 before the Dotnet era.

A shame that newer versions of Windows have problems installing it.

There is Jabaco that takes VB 6.0 syntax and compiles it to Java bytecode: http://www.jabaco.org/

It doesn't have ADO database support so I can't write apps with Databases in VB 6.0 and port them to Jabaco.

This trying to make C++ do BASIC commands is hard, might as well use this instead: http://robhagemans.github.io/pcbasic/

You can find the Classic BASIC games here: http://www.vintage-basic.net/games.html

They should work with PC-BASIC.

I remember of "on error resume next".

I also made ActiveX. It was a very good IDE.
