i guess this is the silly question of the day but it bothers me:
when i'm running under windows, i can see map, io, memory... with vba.
when i'm running under linux (debian or ubuntu), i don't have any menu. How can i see it????
i use the debian/ubuntu package vba 1.7.2-1 and lunch it with vba myrom &
any suggestions?
thanks

AFAIK the Linux version don't has that views. But I'm not sure myself.
I only know that the windows SDL version don't has any of the views and Linux only supports the SDL version so they should be the same.

You might try to run the windows version of VBA with wine.

There is also the VBAStep project. It's a full port of VBA to Linux and started just recently so I don't know whatever there is already a usable version.
