Do you mean Visual Basic C++ or something else?

So far as I know, the only difference between two equivalent C++ sources for different compilers is the names of libraries and functions. So I think you "only" need to refactor all of those.

EDIT: BTW, I suggest that you save the original source and edit a copy just in case.

I'm teaching someone VB2005 at the moment and since he's using a uni version of VS he brings round a HDD caddy with virtualbox installed and an image of XP with VS, etc...

However I believe there is a VS(vb) emulator somewhere on sourceforge, but it general, VB is for windows. Yet there are numerous BASIC implementations available.

A suggestion, you might like to look at python using the tkinter libraries for a GUI, or maybe java. Both of these are platform independent...
