compiles with the free Visual Studio 2008 Express, which just needs to be
downloaded from a Microsoft website. VS WinForms is based on BB5 so you would
not feel so out of your depth. Only with difficulty will you get OSG to
build with VS6, and I suspect it will be even harder with BB5. Is it even worth
the effort, when you will probably spend more time trying to get OSG to build
with BB5 than developing your application? BB5 is quite old and not compatible
with Vista (like VS6). There may also be isues with
templates.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

is a shareware application, called Trans-Form-Matic, which will translate
BB5 .dfm GUI files into WinForms, so I recommend you take the plunge and save
your sanity. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
