It won't work because Mono doesn't know how to load Windows DLL's, and
even if it did, there's no VB runtime, and a whole host of other
things that the Visual Basic 6 Windows code needs are missing on
Linux, and Mono doesn't emulate them. Try the Wine project, it can run
a good chunk of native Windows applications.
