If you have a debian sid level machine available to you, you could
aptitude install mono-vbnc -r and make your program in one .vb file then
type vbnc program.vb on the linux command line and have vbnc compile
program.exe for you.  That will run on osx, linux, other unix flavors
and windows with appropriate dot net framework installed.  To learn
more, look up mono-project with google.  Novell released vbnc and other
components for mono-project and I suspect this may be why the price
change happened with vb8 at Microsoft.  A mac with VoiceOver could
likely run mono-vbnc though I don't know if the terminal version or the
gui version would run in that case.  Haven't used the mac version yet
and will have to download that and check it out.  I have and am using
vbnc on debian sid to make an iching hexagram generator that's
accessible and work is going well with that project.

Subject: vb code?

Hi all,
Is there any way to write the entire text of a vb program? A friend of
mine is in a class for vb and I am looking at his stuff since I want to
learn vb; people say it is good for sound game devolopment.  The class
uses visual studio, which I really hate!! 
Is there any way that I can just write vb code in a text file and run
it? The project made by VS does not seem to have just a single code
file, like c# would.  Am I missing something, or is this how vb is
supposed to work, with no code and only clicking and adjucing properties
with a gui to "code" a program?

Have a great day,
Alex
