Except that I doubt that they are. No support for VB6 just means that you can't telephone them with a programming question -- something I would never do anyway -- and there won't be a VB6 Service Pack 7. Well, you know what? Service Pack 6 wasn't much good, so not having a 7 will be no loss.
We still have some Microsoft Fortran programs running under DOS. And how many years has it been that that one hasn't been supported? Yes, a lot of times it is worth rewriting stuff in abandonned languages into the new stuff, but I never believe in doing it just for the sake of being able to say your whole inventory is "supported."
You guys have it good, and don't know it. - When I last did any programming for anything other than a hand calculator, it was IBM Fortran IV and COBOL running on IBM 1130/1800's. For the last 15 years I've had calculators that fit into my shirt pocket that have more horse power than an 1800!
Microsoft Fortran? You got that to work? What era, they tryed twice and failed both times.
DEC Fortran under dev studio was sweet though.
I think that I still have an open case with Microsoft on a problem I was having with their Fortran compiler back in 1986 (I think). Never did get it resolved. I take it things haven't improved much since then.
