Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0

[sandnsea]

Programmers, Features, Language Reference, Users Guide, I may have the CD around here somewhere. You can have them if you want to pay for shipping. I hate to throw things away. Should they go to the library - or are they too outdated for them to even want? Might have some more old computer books, check back in an hour or so.

1. My library still has 'Programming the Coleco Adam Computer', so why not?

Truthfully, though, VB4 is about four or five distinct steps backward from current Microsoft technology. It did have the unique capability to compile either for 16 or 32 bit, which tells you right about when it was released. You would be much better off downloading the free Visual Basic 2008 Express, which has infinitely better performance and capabilities, a huge help library, and plenty of other resources available online.

2. You may want to toss them

I mean, you can give them to Goodwill or something, but they effectively have no value.

VB 5 and 6 were the major iterations of the "new" VB, and frankly most of the stuff you want to do nowadays requires VB .NET.

Short of working on a legacy system, I wouldn't even bother with VB 4. Pop it on eBay if you want, but all things come to an end eventually, and Vb4's time is long gone.

Requisat In Pace, VB4.
