Pascal Vermeulen
As you maybe know by now, Visual Basic 5.0 will be released in march.
Find out it's hot new features on my special VB 5.0 pages.
I have converted the Microsoft fact sheets to HTML (they load much faster)
so you can read all about it without the fuzz of downloading 1MB files at
Microsoft.

Nope.
Look for 64-bit VB within the next few years.

Apparantly everyone is switching to WIN 95 or NT !?!?!

Does that mean VB5's IDE will only run under 32-bit or does it mean you
would not be able to compile a 16 bit program. If that's the case what
about win32s so I can write progs for win3.11 as well as 95?

VB5 runs only on NT or Win95. Programs written with VB5 run only on NT
or Win95.

get a locking error message but table Invoice do not get the locking
error.

recompile it under 16-bit VB4? Would there be many incompatibilities?

I wouldn't recommend attempting to port from a VB 5.0 project to a
16-bit VB 4.0 project directly. There are too many compatibility
issues.
I would create a separate project for your 16-bit VB 4.0 version.

Yes, VB5 files will be saved in a different format and will include
statements not supported by VB4.
VB5 is 32-bit. If you plan 16-bit development, I don't recommend VB5.

The question is, "Does it surprise you that you'll be locked out of
development for the last version of Windows"? I'm sure VB6 will lock you
out of Win95 development as soon as they want you to stay on NT.

What do you mean the latest version of Windows, W95? I'm sure VB5
will do quite well on W95. Did this crap need to be posted to 50
newsgroups???

Does office 97 run on Win 3.1? If it is 32 bit man, it is 32 bit, as in Win

Visual Basic 5.0 is already available:
Professional edition was released on Feb 03, 1997
Enterprise edition was release on Feb 23, 1997
Custom Creation Edition was released on March 03, 1997
Only for 32 bits. 16 bits is over. They have to move on. 64 bits is coming
in the near feature, believe it or not.

As for the 32 bit, you are correct. There is more to it that that

VB5 EE was not released, it was announced. Look for the release to be
tomorrow (along with VC 5, VJ 1.1, Visual Interdev, etc) at DevDays.

64 bits? Is the 32 bit world's days numbered? I guess that means it will

Yep that is true, Well not that 32 bit will be gone very soon. You see,
Digital's Alpha processor runs with an 64 bit architecture and it much
faster than Intel when run in native mode. Intel can not sit back and watch
that to happen. The next generation of Intel's processor is codenamed
Merced. We will see what it brings. Oh BTW, don't buy a pentium with MMX
technology. It's better to invest that money into an Pentium Pro, it is
still much faster if you run 32 bit applications. An even better solution
is to buy and Alpha pricetag. 5000 dollars.
Visual Basic 5.0 runs on a 486 aswell. If you order the professional
edition you get the Windows NT workstation 4.01 with it. Not bad. BTW.
educational pricing of VB50 is 119 dollars instead of the 400+ dollars if
you buy it at your normal softwareretailer
