Kurtz and I have been playing with this thing and...
It works. Kinda. Mostly. Sometimes. :)
There's still some issues.
A) Blitz+ flat out crashes on things that Blitz3D responds with intelligent errors (ok, Unhandled Exception isn't exactly intelligent, but it's better than a GPF in blitzcc.exe.)
B) It appears that plain-jane-vanilla VB works fine but when you start accessing other objects (printer, clipboard, etc) then you start running into some problems. And I'm guessing it's because those objects are also COM objects and aren't getting initialized correctly, but I haven't yet tracked it down that far.
So while I still think this tool is well worth the 28 dollars they are charging... I recommend it with some reservations.
