I am building a 64 bit compiler for vb6. I want to have it working by the year 2025.
My goal is to have it be able to compile vb6 projects to 64 bit binaries without any source code modifications or conversions. The IDE will not look the same as the original but it will be similar. It will have simulation capabilities to aid in development.
