VB Compile is a small utility written for VB developers. When given a valid .MAK file, the utility invokes VB and creates an EXE file.
In a recent article on Tips for efficient VB development, VBPJ indicated that one should create the EXE file directly from the command line, rather than from inside VB, as after using VB for awhile, the EXE could become inflated with junk. This utility does this for you without having to use the command line yourself. The MAK file can be entered manually, selected from a file dialog, or dropped from the File Manager (using Mabry Software's FMDROP1.VBX, a great little VBX!).
VB Compile was written solely because I am lazy, and got tired of always entering C:\VB\VB.EXE C:\DATA\VBASIC\MYAPP.MAK in the File-Run dialog box. I am distributing it freely to my fellow developers in hopes that somebody else can be lazy too!
Enjoy!

Also look for my other VB Development time-saver tool, COMPRESS IT!
Compress It! offers a Windows interface for compressing files using the DOS-based COMPRESS.EXE, such as when one is developing with the Setup Wizard, and needs to re-compress one or more files.
