I'm writing the Winelib part of the book. The main audience is Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 users. I can define a development environment for both MFC and non-MFC users, since it is well documented already.
I was wondering - I'd like to include a section for Visual Basic 6.0 users. Beyond running the .EXEs in Wine, is it possible to use Winelib to convert VB6.0 apps? How does it differ from the VC++ environment? There's a _lot_ of VB6 code out there. Attracting these developers will help the Wine project (and sales of our book) tremendously.
As far as I can tell from my own VB experiance, VB has it's own compiler. I don't think it's possible to simply recompile VB apps with winelib, but maybe VB users should have a look at Gambas(gambas.sf.net). It's a VB-like development environment with a VB-like Language.
