REALbasic 5.5 free to VB6 Users Untili March 31 2005If you want to try a true cross platform development tool - REALbasic is
giving away REALbasic Standard 5.5 to VB6 developers who may feel stranded by Microsoft's abandonment of VB6. It's still got a lot of growing to do, but if the idea of writing an app that will run on Windows, MAC and Linux appeals to you, maybe you should have a look..... http://www.realsoftware.com/realbasic/vb6/ Talk about your real career-limiting move...

Here's the quote from the RB
in depth page: a.. Standard Edition Windows version creates executables for Windows 98, NT, 2000 and XP. Macintosh version creates Mac OS X and Mac Classic applications. Only the Professional Version will create Linux apps. And as I understand it, you have to buy a different version for each OS ( Windows & Mack OS X) in order to write apps for Windows & Mac OS X, using the Standard Version. Here's the link: http://www.realsoftware.com/realbasic/indepth/ And here is the link to the page with the price quotes: http://www.realsoftware.com/store/new_purchases.html For myself, I will stick with VB.NET and for Linux, I will use Mono Develop. It is having growing pains, but, is getting better and better. james Show quoteHide quote "Jim Hubbard" <reply@groups.please> wrote in message news:zKednePZTOmwIdnfRVn-pw@giganews.com... > If you want to try a true cross platform development tool - REALbasic is giving away REALbasic Standard 5.5 to VB6 developers > who may feel stranded by Microsoft's abandonment of VB6. > > It's still got a lot of growing to do, but if the idea of writing an app that will run on Windows, MAC and Linux appeals to > you, maybe you should have a look..... > > http://www.realsoftware.com/realbasic/vb6/ > > > Didn't you say, in a posting from a few days ago, that your research into

I have seen a graphics application
that is definitely not slow and a newsgroup picture downloader that is very professionally done - both using REALbasic. If you care to look....... http://www.oriens-solution.com/downloads/ripro.htm - RahmanImager Professional Edition 2 http://www.brainchild.nl/ - Picture Patrol Officer I've also had a look at the 2005 REALBasic IDE screenshots, and they look MUCH better than the 5.5 version. Check out how it looks on Linux, Windows, and MAC at http://www.realsoftware.com/demo15/index.php?m=editor&p=linux.

Being a BASIC-style > language doesn't make it a RAD tool automatically. not cross platform but has an IDE and visual form designer. There is even a project (in early development) for a plug-in that will convert your VB forms. google_grou***@hotmail.com wrote:
