I currently operate in the PDS 7.1 environment, is VB for DOS a
necessary UPGRADE from PDS 7.1, if one would like to stay on top
of the pile of BASIC compilers?  

Does VB/DOS still support the 286 instruction set?

For the standard edition, there was a Student price listed at $49.95.
Since I have PDS 7.1, I'd like to stay professional but the Professional
VB for DOS (PVB/DOS) did not have a list price for students...

			Is there a student price listing for PVB/DOS?

Trying to stay on the cutting edge...
Rob.

Well, if *I* were in Microsoft's place, I wouldn't offer one.  If a student
is doing work that needs the features of the professional package, then it's
probably gone beyond standard course-work (which is what I usually see the
student packages oriented towards).  If they're going to play professional
programmer, let them pay for professional programmer's tools.
