I have a number of games written in VB3 somewhere, stashed away
also, that very cool program FigWin (a Windows port of the Unix program Figlet) was written in VB3, which I use like...a lot
I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.

What, no VBDOS pro?
I *should* also have the spanish version of QB, if I can locate the NT 3.1 spanish CD. That is where the Italian version came from... the NT 3.1 italian disk. I'll have to see what other interesting things I can dig up. Just now I found a copy of DOS 5.0 Japanese.

Quote:Nice. I've got the QB 1.0 source if you want it. Also, seems that the links on this page http://imaginatica.us.es/~wopr2k/qbdl/qb.../MENU.html are all dead. Did you forget to upload some files?
How about me? ;*)

Great page and info!
There were also two versions of QB 3. There was a QB 3.0b version that changed something -- forgot what it was. I have it on 5 inch floppies. The QB3 manual is pretty good, imo. Better than the QB45 one.
Also, I think PDS 7.1 had a small update to 7.1b or 7.2 (forgot) but it was just a minor update patch that fixed some bugs. I read a MicroSoft DOC about it long ago -- never owned PDS.

Centeur(?)
Chinese
Czech

Hebrew
Hungaray

Windows For Workgroups 3.11

)

These versions are on my MSDN 94 set, but of course the legal status of making them available is... well... really unknown. I guess this is one for the history books

Tools->Options->Advanced->SDI Development Environment try check on/off and restart VB. I might have misunderstood you though, but it will swap between SDI (all in one) and MDI (floating).
And great page Nathan! All in one.

Jonathan, it's likely that the France version is in French specifically for France, whereas the French version is in a more common dialect. But that's just a thought.
Where's the Puerto Rico Windows?
