[Ilugc] Migration Paths

Fortunately, there are many similarities, but do not expect
to take your old Visual Basic code and run it on Gambas
without any change.
I would recommend doing a rewrite rather than migrating the code. Most VB
apps talk to too many Windows components like COM, ADO, etc that it would be
a pain to chase and replace them all. Plus, most VB apps are database apps
using ADO or DAO or databinding which uses this under the covers. VB is more
about the components it uses (in most cases, though I have written an
full-blown interpreter in VB (yes - it is possible - I did it to win a
bet)).
