Can anyone know where on the NET i can find a copy of it

I think you have to buy it

I don't think 6.0 is the latest version, so you may be able to pick it up a reasonable price.

Gauges are dynamic link libraries (dll) written in C.

So is there anywhere on the net you can get visual basic, any version will do.

There are any number of places where you can purchase Visual Basic 6 or Visual Basic.NET.

If you're just interested in programming in general and not something that specifically plugs into FS9 there are any number of free languages - java, perl, python, ruby, and on and on and on.

There are also free C compilers that might be able to produce gauge files.  I'm not very familiar with any of them, though.  The only freeware C compiler I've used is the GNU compiler that comes with linux.

The only freeware C compiler I've used is the GNU compiler that comes with linux.

I wonder... Is there a way to get that to work in Windows?

Funny you should ask.  There is a freeware package called cygwin that lets you run a lot of linux software, including the gnu gcc compiler, on windows.

I just now took a minute to go look for free c compilers for windows and found www.willus.com.  Never seen it before but there's a link on the left for Win32 C/C++ Compilers.  If you follow the link there's even a listing for a free Microsoft compiler.  I haven't spent more than a couple of minutes on the sight but it looks like a place to start.

Also I don't know what your educational status is, but I was able to obtain a copy of Visual Studio .net 2003 for free by visiting my universities library...;-)

I'm off sick following a Very BAD Motorcycle accident

The only code i'm very basic @ in understanding is XML
so C,C+,C++ ? is kind of
