Ebay] regularily has _Visual Basic 6_ and _Visual Studio 6_ CDs on sale and
auction. The buy-now prices range from ~$150-$350 (yes that much!). If the
price is significantly less, read the description carefully to make sure
the edition offered is not a learning-only version which has compile
disabled. It may also be a good idea to make sure it has not been
previously registered.
I've read that if you buy a current Visual Studio license from Microsoft
you can downgrade to VB6 for a fee.

+== Modifying and Activating Changes ==
+
+ # *Backup current configuration* - make a copy of or zip up
`...\path\to\Mapbook\Visual_Basic`
+ # From !Visual_Basic folder *open DSMapBookPrj.vbp* and/or
*DSMapBookUIPrj.vbp* in VB6
+ # *Make your changes* (a.k.a. _magic stuff happens here_ )
+ # *Save and compile* -
+ # _(File - Save Project)_
+ # save any edited class files _(File - Save DSMapPage.cls)_
+ # Create the DLL _(File - Make DSMapBookPrj.dll)_ and save over the
existing file.
+ # Re-register the DLLs (may not be necessary, close ArcMap first) -
*run _INSTALL.BAT*
+
+You will need to do this every time you make a change to the code.
