Okay, so the local campus store (complete with discounts) finally had
Visual Basic for Windows on display. I always knew that the Professional
Edition came with some "extras," but was never sure *what*. The DOS versions
seem to differ mainly in terms of ISAM support, as far as I could tell.

But the Standard and Professional Windows packages seem *really* different.
I saw nothing about "multimedia" on the Standard box, but a lot of requirements
on the Professional edition -- that plus the email, comm tools, etc.

Anyway, can someone offer some advice as to which edition would be best
for doing multimedia application on an *Ultimedia* machine? With all IBM-type
multimedia hardware (which, I'm guessing, could mean that the built-ins 
in the Professional box won't help me diddly...)

There's quite a bit of price difference, and I guess I'm not sure if 
you can *do* everything with the Standard box (and the Professional just 
lets you at it faster), or you *need* the Professional package to do
multimedia (sound, images, video, etc...)

Thanks!
Roger
