Yes. Visual Basic is a programming environment designed by Microsoft in an
attempt to allow a "non-programmer" to be able to write programs with a
softisticated graphical user interface. The basic package consists of a
language, based mostly on Q Basic, a form designer, and the necessary linkers,
loaders and debuggers that you would want. The package was released for
Windows about 2 years ago, and for DOS last year. Available in Standard and
Professional kits (the professional kits add built in DB capacity, amongst
other things), the windows version is up to rev 2.0, the DOS version is still
at rev 1.0. Any other questions?

How could you NOT have heard of Visual Basic?  If you don't want to buy a
copy to check it out, there are a lot of 3rd party manuals available.  Hop
on down to your nearest bookstore and skim a few.

VB is a semi-object-oriented Windows development language.  When you write code
it's in Basic.
