RP>   You wouldnt happen to know of any program that can convert
RP>   QuickBasic source code into C++ source code, would you?
      If there was, you wouldn't be likely to want it! 
   QB is a fine compiler, and you can produce tightly written,
   highly modularized, and very efficient code, using it.
   However... And this is the Big However, C++ is a structured
   Object Oriented language, which has tricks and goodies of
   which QB programmers may only dream fondly.
      I see there is a book called "Moving from QBasic to C", by
   Greg Perry, available now. (see http://www.booksonline.com)
   You might profit from obtaining this book and examining his
   work. He takes the common BASIC commands, and supplies C
   equivalents for them, in example.
      At this point, you still won't have C++, but you will at
   least be in the ballpark. If you know the syntax and methods
   of OOP with C++, then you will easily be able to take C code
   and derive C++ code therefrom.
      Moving to C++ from QB is not easy. The initial learning
   curve is difficult to negotiate. Programs written in QB may
   best benefit from being ported to C++ by being entirely
   rewritten. The most useful tool in using QB code to write a
   C++ program will be the matched text strings, "/*" and "*/",
   which should enclose the QB code and allow it to be used as
   a development guideline.
      Most of the QB tools will be easily matched or surpassed
   by the C++ libraries, excepting perhaps string functions,
   which you may easily surpass on your own, or, if you are
   using another MS product, VC++, replace almost directly with
   the CString class, which is easily duplicated in any C++
   compiler by anyone with a fair knowledge of C++. Most
   compilers do have a string class, but probably not as
   versatile and full featured as what QB boasts.
      Once you move into a Windows based environment and begin
   event-oriented OOP, you will need to abandon nearly all you
   have learned in QB aside from program logic and structure.
