I see several IDC scripts for VB disassembly, but I have no idea how to begin.  Should I load the VB6 program as a binary file and then run the scripts, or as a PE?

I can see some definite problems, like unicode strings getting identified without the first character, which is part of an incorrectly identified asm instruction.

Also, there is a table that has the names of functions and the address of the entry point.  Yet, the IDC scripts I tried use generic names instead of utilizing that table.

All this makes me think I'm missing something fundamental to VB debugging.  Alas, I'm stuck on IDA Free as I just can't afford the full version, and it's for personal, non-commercial use (so I can't ask my boss either)

I have read what articles I can find on this site and via Google, but nothing on the basics of how to get started and what IDC scripts to run, when, and how.  If I've missed this information, I apologize.   I have yet to discover how to search in a specific forum for information.
