[QUOTE="FieldDoc, post: 28155"] I am attempting to port a game that is written in VB to the mac using RB (I have the authors permission and access to the source code to do so). I thought I would be able to use VBPC to convert the VB files and then just correct the errors that were found - how wrong was I! VBPC doesn't seem to work at all! It doesn't crash or anything, it says the conversion is complete and a RB .xml file is generated but when I load it into RB - the project window just displays 'app' and that is completely empty! This is despite the fact that the RB file appears to be >1 Mb big! Am I doing something very wrong or am I just expecting too much? On a similar note, is there anyway to read a VB file in text format - if this is possible, then I could just manually convert the code as I don't have access to a windows machine to use VB. Regards, [/QUOTE]
