Interest and activity has been overflowing in the Visual Basic section of the MSLANG forum on Compuserve 陳 several months before Visual Basic would probably be available to everyone at local retailers 陳 So I decided to upload the first little VB application which I wrote so that people who had not yet had the opportunity to play with Visual Basic might be able to see a somewhat modest example of what can be done by someone WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WINDOWS programming experiences **WHATSOEVER** during his first two days of experimentation... This was the first app I wrote with VB, and you'll see evidence of my "messing around" with VB to see what and how to do the things I wanted to. I've since written several other apps which are substantially more mature in their internal organization. I hope you enjoy playing with this. 浜様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様融 � OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS AND NOTES � 藩様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様夕 I quickly converted the operating PES program, which operates over our network in a multi-user fashion, into one which would not require a network to operate. However, the programs's two .DAT files *MUST* be placed in a subdirectory named: \PES which branches off the system's root directory of the default (probably C: or D:) hard disk. 敖陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳朕 � REMEMBER!!! -- YOU MUST HAVE A COPY OF THE VISUAL BASIC � � RUNTIME .DLL LIBRARY FILE (VBRUN100.DLL) ON YOUR HARD DISK � � IN ORDER TO USE ANY VISUAL BASIC .EXE PROGRAMS. DOWNLOAD IT � � FROM THE MSLANG FORUM IN DL6, UNZIP IT, AND PLACE IT IN YOUR � � MAIN WINDOWS DIRECTORY (PROBABLY \WINDOWS). � 青陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳潰 The files in this ZIP are: 陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳 PES.EXE - An MS-Windows EXE file written, developed, and compiled entirely within the new Visual Basic environment. It may be placed wherever is convenient, or it may reside with its two .DAT data files in a subdirectory named: \PES It has cute little ICON that was created with the ICONWRKS icon editor which is a sample app (including full source code) that's provided with Visual Basic. Place PES into a program manager group if you want to see its icon. 陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳 TS-PES.DAT - This file contains the Peer Evaluation "categories" and "attitudes" that are displayed under PES. (That'll make more sense to you when you run PES) 陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳 PES.DAT - This overly-large (but highly compressible !) file contains the user's password and current settings. If you forget your password after once setting it, simply unzip the original copy from the downloaded ZIP file to "un-register" your password. 陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳 That's about it. 5/29/91 - Steve Gibson.
