Does anyone know of any alternatives to visual basic that are either free or open source? I mean, something that allows for application developement where you can directly control the gui... Thanks, OScoder ____________ om |

Delphi 6 is visual too I believe.  And I think it's free. I have no experience with it though.

err free? http://www.borland.com/us/prod … lphi/index.html Yeah, I know the link above is 2006. If it's free - where from? I've used delphi a bit before, but didn't keep using it - mainly because the version I had was from a cover CD, and I couldn't distribute applications (I probably never would have anyway, but I didn't like the 'restricted' feeling about it) ____________ om |

Hey I just heard of this thing called Mono. They still work on the .NET 1.1 framework but it's open source and it's C# or vb.net. see: http://www.go-mono.com This might be just the thing you were looking for. ____________ Kwakkel |

There are plenty around, just of my head. FreeBasic SDLBasic WxBasic Gambas Then other than basic Python And of course C/c++ gcc g++ But if you are used to Microsoft Basic then http://www.freebasic.net/index … ection=features will most probably be the easiest to adapt to.
