[Guest]

How to migrate Microsoft Application (Visual basic) apps to Mac Machine thats
using Unix Operating System..

Is it possible in Visual Basic 6.0 ??

Is it practically possible in .Net framework 1.1??

Please suggest any solutions.

Thanks and Regards

if Unix is the OS that your app it must run on, think
FreeBSD(www.freebsd.org), there is a .NET Framework made by MS for FreeBSD,
open source

No, the Shared Source CLI is not open source AFAIK, it's for academic and
research purposes only. You can't use it for commercial products IOW. Have a
look at Mono: http://www.go-mono.com/

of course these will only have a hope in hell if the original app is using
vb.net - I suspect the OP is using VB6.
