Thanks Jon.

Anahata,
I have considered this route before. If I started recoding it in C, I might just be finished by the time Windows becomes obsolete...
There are now at least 80k lines of code to rewrite, including a dozen classes, plus 30 or so forms, and C is not my strongest language.

It was ORIGINALLY written in the only language I had available in 1995(before LINUX became popular), which was QuickBasic in DOS.

Each upgrade, first to VB3, then to VB5, took over a year (of my little free time) in a supposedly compatible language! And there are still things the DOS version could do which the VB version does not, like one-finger play.

(Actually, I did also have COBOL, but I don't think anyone in their right mind would consider writing a music program in THAT)
