Disk Contents for
Microsoft (R) Visual Basic (TM) for MS-DOS (R)
Professional Edition Version 1.00

This file contains a complete list of all files and directories on the
distribution disks provided with this product. Files are grouped by
product component, numbers in parentheses indicate the disk number on which
the file is found.
==============================================================================
Files on the distribution disks are compressed (indicated by a "$" in the
file extension) and must be decompressed before they are used. The Setup
program on disk 1 decompresses files as they are installed. A separate file
decompression utility (DECOMP.EXE) located on disk 1 is provided for manual
file decompression. The following table displays the compressed/uncompressed
file extension mapping scheme:
Compressed File Extension: Uncompressed File Extension:
*.AS$ - *.ASM
*.BA$ - *.BAS
*.BI$ - *.BI
*.BT$ - *.BAT
*.C$ - *.C
*.CO$ - *.COM
*.CT$ - *.CTX
*.DL$ - *.DLL
*.EX$ - *.EXE
*.FO$ - *.FON
*.FR$ - *.FRM
*.H$ - *.H
*.HL$ - *.HLP
*.IC$ - *.ICO
*.IN$ - *.INC
*.LI$ - *.LIB
*.MA$ - *.MAK
*.MD$ - *.MDB
*.OB$ - *.OBJ
*.PI$ - *.PIF
*.QL$ - *.QLB
*.SC$ - *.SCN
*.SO$ - *.SOB
*.SY$ - *.SYS
*.TX$ - *.TXT
*.XL$ - *.XLM
An example of using DECOMP.EXE to decompress a single file is as follows:
C:\> DECOMP A:BC.EX$ C:\VBDOS\BC.EXE
This will decompress the BC.EX$ file from the distribution disk in drive a:
to the file BC.EXE in the C:\VBDOS directory.
This package comes with a number of demonstration and utility programs
written in Basic. These files are for informational and recreational
