1: Ok. 2: No, not make my own project based on yours, help you to translate it. If you turn it into C++ (which, if you can't do, I'll try to do) it'll be able to run on Windows, Mac AND Linux. I'd be having a look at the VB code, learn how the parts I'm not sure about work and what their C++ equivalents are. It's simply because of the fact that .net programs cannot be run on Mac or Linux, where some Wave users are. You could TRY getting it to run on AIR, but I'm not sure how that works :S You may want to look at C++ For Dummies<http://samosborneonline.co.cc/Downloads/C++_For_Dummies.pdf>
