This information is intentionally vague as to fly under the radar of those companies who are hired by other companies to enforce intelectual property rights on software they no longer sell or support. (and sometimes will not even admit that they ever did)

for windows, borland delphi (visual object pascal) is a similar object orientated programming system (oops) that an older version of can be downloaded from their site for free if you register online. (to get the download link) It is a little more complex and that requires creating more structured code but it creates standalone exe's so no vbrun.dll is required in your distributions.

Here is an example of delphi code used to find NFO files in a folder and show them:

Code:
var launch:pchar;
begin
 *txt:=DirectoryListBox1.Directory+StringGrid1.Cells[StringGrid1.Col,StringGrid1.Row];
 *findfirst(txt+'\*.nfo',faanyfile,sr);
 *txt:='notepad.exe '+txt+'\'+sr.Name;
 *launch:=stralloc(length(txt));
 *strpcopy(launch,txt);
 *winexec(launch,sw_show);
 *findclose(sr);
end;
