Yes, I was waiting for VB 2.0 for a long time and believed
that all our willings will be introduced in it.
Now I have it and can say: It's truth, most of properties
users wanted to see are implemented (I mean inheritance,
mdi, preserve redim, multiple-selection list box, variant
type of data and so on). BUT the size of VBRUN200.DLL is
greate enough. Of course the sizes of exe-files is smaller,
then in VB 1.0, but when you summirize .exe & vbrun200
you'll get more Kbytes. This is very sufficient in setup
programs. For example my very sofisticated setup program,
written in VB 1.0 contained 8 forms, some controls produced
via calls of API functions and several functions in dll.
The size of this program was 175K (exe)+15K (dll). Now
after rebuilding (including new features of Vb 2.0) I have
140K (exe)+ 8K (dll). But with the new vbrun it takes more
place on the floppy. :(
>From the other hand it's almost impossible to run VB 2.0
applications on AT286 with 1M of memory - computer sleeps.
The main reason - this giant dll.

So the best way is to wait VB 3.0 without any vbrun dll. :)

Fyodor.
