VB6-to-X

Convert VB6 projects to language/platform X, for some values of X.

VB6-to-X will read vbp files and convert the whole project, including forms, modules and resources.

Ruby will be the first supported value of X. Python may be a good candidate for the second.

Status

It's early days. The parser can parse one particular .frm file.

Design

VB6-to-X will consist of

1. A parser generating an AST
2. A generic module for walking the AST.
3. A X-specific module implementing callbacks for emitting target language code.
4. Miscellaneous bits for stuff like creating the target files and extracting resources from the .frx files.

VB6-to-X uses Treetop as its parser framework.
