I should be more clear with VB. I am talking about VBExpress that is a NET
Framework language. As far as I understand with the NET Framework it is possible
to use a DLL that is written in VB also with the other Framework languages.
So maybe it is usefull for more people than we thought about. And there is also
a prog named MONO (http://www.linux.com/feature/53582) that allows to run NET
programs on Linux if you care about some limitations (at present).
So I will go ahead with my idea and if anybody wants to test he will be welcome.
