I recall many years ago I tried to dump my VB5 code straight into BCX

BCX is incapable of performing most forms of magic and miracles.
But it does a lot of other stuff really well. ![Wink ;)](https://forum.pellesc.de/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Implement a AI library, and it will more than possible. At this time, you can simply paste VBx code into GPT for example, and convert it to pure C in a matter of seconds depending on the lines generated. Your application should utilize this to support advanced conversion supporting the entire pre-CLR days.
My application carries a conversion mixture of Python, C++ & BASIC (all converted to C). GPT 3.5 made this easily available. No need for the newer data set (GPT-4).
Search for a library in your language of choice, work the prompt parameters and parsing procedures, and you will be well on your way.
What I don't know is if you need to detect the code format, and trigger pre-defined prompts while including the code in question, because you need to establish the request on the basis of "Convert this <language> code to BASIC \n\n <code insert, from file, etc).
As you can see in the last statement, you can allow your application to easily convert most languages <--> back and forth. But since this to tailored to generate BASIC code, that is where the focus would be met when interacting with the library.
Just a thought.
