• System Overview

Before you can do anything, you need to set up your compiler for comfortable use. How you want to use is your choice.

• Installing gccVB
• Setting up UltraEdit as gccVB frontend
• Setting up Eclipse as gccVB frontend
• Setting up Programmers Notepad as gccVB frontend

After everything is set up, we can start programming. Here's some well-documented sample code for beginners to start learning. Advanced users can skip this part. Please note that minor changes may be necessary depending on what version of the compiler you've installed!

Does it need to be added to the VB? Should it be removed? What about replacing it with a faster, smaller, or just plain better version? This is the place for all those crazy things that simply must be done to, with, or for the VB… just because we can!
