Anyone that wants to take away my VB/DOS better have a big gun!!!
I was in the design stages of a major new project that was going to
be done first in VB/WIN then subsetted back to PDS.  Amasingly,
for once in life VB/DOS appeared at the right time.  It looks like
98% of the code can be identical - saving  at least 3 man months
of very painful retrofitting to PDS.  Certainly worth a tad more
than $199 - even at what we pay programmers!

I fell in love with VB over the summer - mostly hacking out multi-media
stuff for my 4 year old daughter.

I look forward to never using anything else ever again!
