A while back REAL Software offed a free license of REALbasic Win 550 Commercial Standard for all the VB6 programmers that Microsoft didn't want anymore. A real good move on thier part in my opinion. Only problem is they don't have that version available for download anymore as they have upgraded to version 2005, which looks like a really nice improvement.
So if you recieved a key, but need to download again what rae you to do? Well, I found TwoCows still has 5.5.3 for Windows available for download. If you lost your license key you can retrieve it too.
If you are looking for an alternative to VB or just want a multiplatform basic programming tool then give REALbasic a shot. The professional version will compile to Mac OS X, Linux and Win x86 and includes DB support. If you got the free standard license you can upgrade to the professional 2005 version for $299.95, which is a $100 savings, or if you want to stick with the standard version of 2005 for $49.95, which is half price.
Update: I just recieved an email from Jonathan Johnson of REAL Software. He provided me with the location to download earlier versions of REAL basic: ftp://ftp.realsoftware.com/ and sure enough there is REALbasic 5.5.5 and a lot of related downloads.
