Er, I originally published it as an external tool, and you had me 
merge it into the IDE.  Just go back in the archives and find my 
post about ImportVBProject from 2005-01-27 23:03.  I'll repost 
it if people like (the only reason it's not on my website is 
because it requires the 1.9 series of gambas, and I don't want 
to entice new users coming from VB and Windows to try an 
unstable pre-alpha release like that.)

I suspect the author of the world's most widely used compiler 
will probably know some people who'd do better at parsing and 
translating the actual VB code than I would, but I'll start 
trying to do some rudimentary translation.

I still haven't gotten the original post about using Gambas for 
running VB projects, btw, so I'm sorry if I've said anything 
that contradicts that post.
