Somebody raised a similar question before. If you wanted to run a Visual
Basic program on a Palm, you will need to get the appropriate compiler.
Sadly enough, you might have to implement the compiler. Visual Basic is what
many consider to be a 'programming language', not a programming language.
It is Microsoft-centric and it is unlikely that Microsoft will assist their
competitor. I don't know if there is an option of converting to C++, then
to Palm executable, but it's worth checking.
