     This program will read in a Visual Basic form file and
create a resource file and header file which can be read in to
resource editors.  The resource file can than be compiled by the
resource editor and included in a C/C++ project.  This version is
simply a Beta version to see if anybody out there desires a
program to convert complete Visual Basic programs to C/C++.

     This is the first phase of this program.  The next phase
will also convert the Visual Basic code into C++ code.  This will
allow you to use the rapid development environment of Visual
Basic, convert the program to C++, and compile the program with
minimal effort to create fast efficient Windows programs.

     This ZIP file only includes to EXE file since I assume you
already have the Visual Basic programming environment. 
Therefore, I didn't include any of the VBX's required to run this
program.

     This program is very easy to use.  Once you have this
program up and running, enter a Visual Basic form name on the
first line.  Enter the name of the Resource File to be created on
the second line and enter the name of the Header File to be
created on the third line.  If the Visual Basic form uses any
custom controls, enter the name of the control and the VBX
(including the ".VBX" extension) required to support this control
in the two boxes at the bottom. Then select ADD to add the
support for this control to the list box.  This will allow this
program to recognize this control and write the appropriate
control line to the RC file.  To delete controls from the list
box, select the line to be deleted by clicking once or twice on
the desired line and then click the DELETE button.

     Once you have all fields filled in to you satisfaction,
click on the Convert button.  The program will read in the Visual
Basic form and create the RC files.
