Lots of ancient basic commands are stiil available in VB. Things like 
line numbers, gosub, etc. still exist. This means that you can import 
(paste) your GW-basic code in VB in one public sub. This will give you 
one ugly large sub, but you can refactor the program from there. Not 
everything works: specific things like graphics need adaptation and 
"input" commands can be replaced by inputbox-calls before you refactor 
them to the usual user-interface driven approach that is common with VB.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
