There are a few books out there on the subject (besides the manuals). If
you check some of the bigger book stores (like books-a-million, etc) you
should still be able to find one or two. Also they sometimes have
discount racks where you might find a vb-dos book or two.

Felix,

Check to see if your version of VB for MS-DOS has built in tutorials. I have
the professional version and it includes several tutorials that can be accessed
from the help menu. The professional version also includes several example
files.

If you don't see the tutorial files, check if to see if they were an
installation option.

Also, try the programmer's guide! It includes over 400 pages of information
in a tutorial format.

Where can I get more information on purchasing VB Dos professional version?
What is the current version number?

Debbie,

Unfortunately, as with all of their MS-DOS BASIC compilers, Microsoft no longer
produces it (the QBasic interpreter is still available). I believe the only
version of Visual Basic for MS-DOS was 1.0, released in 1992. Some old copies
may still be available at software clearance houses. "Where can I obtain
MS-DOS BASIC compilers?" is a frequently asked question (FAQ). Because of the
problems obtaining copies, many DOS programmers are switching to other BASIC
compilers, like PowerBASIC from Spectra Publishing.

Thank you for the information; I've been searching online but can't seem to
find a resource for purchasing VB Dos. If anyone has a suggestion, I'd
appreciate the pointer.

Found some listings for books at Amazon.com - most of them out of print
and/or special order!

The information on VB Dos seems scarce.

Thanks in advance if anyone has a lead!

Debbie
