    Vb 3

    Does anyone still use VB3?

    I know its old, but i like it!

    Good for doing simple things.

    The best bit is - one tiny runtime dll!

    What do you think?

    I used it to learn VB, but VB5 is far more superior. There aren't that many changes between 5 and 6, though.

    I have two apps that I still maintain in VB3. One is for an Access 1.1 DB that has not changed in eons and I don't see it changing anytime soon. The other is a CD Bootstrap. All it needs is VBRUN300.DLL

    I would strongly recommend that you upgrade to at least VB4 (32-bit).

    Or wait until (supposedly) October when VB.NET comes out.

    After using Perl, I had to write my own split and join functions. I can not do an app that parses csv logs without them. Why were these not in VB 1!?
