I would say that this program is in poor shape even for windows VB. Most
places updated much of their VB code to version 6 in 1999 during the Y2K
freeferall. Goto instructions, even in VB have been poo pooed for years. If
the company you're working for is using this program for part of it's income,
you _should_ be freaked. It's been my experience that people who don't
comment their code do so that they personally will called back to do the next
revision. I hate it when that happens.
If you need to rewrite so much of it you might be able to switch to Python
and make it portable.
