You might get in trouble for VB 4.0... is that one old enough that MS and your hosting company wouldn't care?

EDIT: Nevermind, I doubt Microsoft would feel threatened considering it's almost a decade old.

Good work nath =). Would you mind adding VB 5.0 and 6.0 to that list as well? :rotfl:

Meanwhile, Visual Basic 7 .NET would be nice... :wink:
Yeah, good work. Excellent resource.

Or Ms.VisualStudio.NET would be even better =P.

Seriously, nath, wont you get in trouble with VB4.0?

Gee that sounds.. illegal...


MS Basic repository *almost* complete - Lachie Dazdarian - 03-30-2004

VB is SATAN.

It may be illegal. At the first notice I'll remove the downloads, as specified in the site.


MS Basic repository *almost* complete - Z!re - 03-30-2004

Hush all... Nathan didn't know it was illegal, right?

And no-one told him... poor poor missinformed nathan, it's all societies fault.. BLAME SOCIETY!...

Ohh, and put VB 6 up.. just for the heck of it... :rotfl:

Nah. I bet that 1,000 newbies are looking in Google for VB6 and if they find it in my place I'll have problems Tongue

And what I've uploaded has been downloaded from another places (VB4 for example was downloaded from an .edu domain FTP site), and I found everything at google (and very easily), so if those packages were in another places since some time ago and nothing has happened, then nothing will happen.

I encourage all the people who don't know VB to download and try VB3. This will be better for M$: People try VB3, like it, get VB6/VB.NET Big Grin
