- qingcharles 5mo agoIIRC VB for DOS came out after the Windows version...
- guidedlight 5mo agoI remember the form designer was a standout feature. Microsoft added a complete UI framework into VB for DOS based on the standard ASCII character set. VB for DOS really needed a version 2.0, but it never got it.
