Reprogram an old Visual Basic application in the Linux environment

 An old Visual Basic program running on a Intel Core 2 Duo Processor SL7100 LV (1.2GHz, 4MB L2 cache, 800MHz FSB). Is there a way to reprogram this app i the Linux environment? Has anybody made something like this in Linux?

Update: I forgot to explain "why the reprogramming?". The source is lost, that's why and I would like to explore the programs possibilities, but alas!

It's a function displaying the resulting values as dots in color when the program is running. The colors depend on the magnitude of the value.

Any idea sent to per dot funke at gmail dot com would really be appreciated!


Update: solved by installing KVM and visual Basic 6.

  1. Linux has a very good Windows emulator called Wine. You can run most Windows programs on Linux with it. If you need to change the source code to add or modify functionality, I suggest you doing so in a Windows machine. If you just need to run it on Linux, try Wine.

    Stupidly enough, I forgot to explain that the source is lost! Typical. So typical!
    That's the kernel of the problem. I've updated the blogpost!
    Thanks very much for your engagement! Nice of you!
