Well, I upgraded to Basic PDS 7.1 about 4 months ago.  I haven't
used the product that much, but it seems to me that it doesn't
give a lot of bang for the buck unless you've never used windows
before and have no experience with structured programs.  Microsoft 
appears to be using the same old ploy of putting out as many products 
as possible (cf. OS/2 vs. Windows).  The features in v. 7.1 were too 
little too late.  
  
   This stuff in the VB press release about aiding developers who want 
to make the DOS/Windows transition is a bunch of you-know-what.  
I fully expect that VB for DOS will be crippled somehow to avoid 
competition with VB for Windows.  I guess I'll just switch over to 
something else.
