What a time to be alive! 😊

@jacmoe which editor are you using for BASIC?
Show threadJacob Moena 🇩🇰Apr 25, 2017

@saper I am using CBM .prg Studio, which unfortunately is Windows only :

It is great, which is why I am doing what I'm doing with VirtualBox, being a Linux guy in general. :)

@jacmoe it looks like .NET application, you might try running it under CoreCLR or Mono on #Linux

@saper It's VB.NET 😉

Yes, I probably *could* wrangle it to make it run in Linux under Mono, but I am more interested in actually using the program, than spending time with Mono to make it run on my box :)
Besides, I do have Windows 7, so why not ?

@jacmoe it could be as simple as mono program.exe :)
I'll check, maybe

@saper I can't be *that* simple! 😜

Still, not sure if that would break the Vice integration.
If you try it, you will probably let me know :)

@jacmoe how does the integration work? Can't find anything in the vice manual
Show threadJacob Moena 🇩🇰Apr 25, 2017

@saper I meant from CBM .prg Studio - it calls Vice with the name of the prg.
And the debugger also does something.

I don't have much time to look into this; especially when VBox, etc. "just works" 😋

@jacmoe so you are running vice on Windows, too?
Show threadJacob Moena 🇩🇰Apr 25, 2017
@saper Yes, I am :)
I guess I ought to call Linux Vice from within the box to really go full recursive circle 😏
