VB syntax highlighting on a Mac

I'm currently running VB6 on my MacBook pro via a virtual machine
(Windows XP via Parallels Desktop for Mac). Unfortunately, my network
does not allow me to print from within the virtual machine, only from
the host Mac. I would like to print some of the code I'm currently
working with, but it becomes pretty difficult to read when printed
monochromatically (especially for a visual basic novice like myself).
Does anyone know of a text editor that provides syntax highlighting
for a .bas file on a Mac OS X system?

Thanks,
Kelly
 
you can't use prett print to print to a PDF (printer) and then print
the PDF from your stupid mac?

Last time I used a Mac, there was a great little editor called "mi".
If it's still out there, give it a shot. I don't know if it supports
VB6 out of the box, but I've created my own syntax colouring rules for
other languages it didn't have, and it was pretty easy.
There's also vi, which I thikn has been ported to Mac and also
supports VB.

BTW, htf did you get VB6 running on a Mac??

If you have MS Office for Macs installed you code pull up it's vba
editor and copy and paste it into there.

Though I have to ask, what does this have to do with vb.Net?

Thanks,

eat a dick; im so sorry that MS thnks that we need 27 DIFFERENT
NEWSGROUPS FOR VB.

Go ahead and ask about Vb6 and VBA here; there is only one VB family
who cares if we annoy these .NET fags
