Somewhat obviously, my name is Erik Siers. I'm one of the BASIC cheerleaders on RC. (I can do other languages, but I prefer BASIC by a lot.)
I've been working on a [http://sourceforge.net/projects/visible/ VB4/5/6-to-ANSI-C/C++ translator] for a while. A ''long'' while -- first got the idea several years ago. No released code as yet, but it's progressing... slowly. ''Really'' slowly. One problem is that I'm writing it in VB6, so that it can translate itself (a [[wp:

I could use some help, actually. Anyone familiar with
