10.7.98 - GnomeNEWS So what does it mean when someone says that you need the VB4 or VB5 runtimes in order to run a particular program? Visual Basic is basically a programming language created by Microsoft. When programmers create programs with VB, certain files are needed on the end user's computer in order for the program to run correctly. Sometimes you might find the necessary (and common) runtimes included within a setup package. To save on download size, sometimes those files are omitted. Most of us already have them installed, but in case you don't (or aren't sure), here are a few packages that should give you the VB4, VB5, and the brand new VB6 runtime files. I will eventually have these links posted on the past issues page.
Microsoft Visual Basic v4.0 Runtimes [1.4M] W9x/NT4
Microsoft Visual Basic v5.0 Runtimes [1.2M] W9x/NT4
Microsoft Visual Basic v6.0 Runtimes [1.0M] W9x/NT4 GnomePROGRAM CSE HTML Validator v2.55 [930k] W9x/NT4 SW$25 It's typically important to get HTML documents edited and uploaded with as quickly as possible. Outdated information doesn't do anybody any good. But, after rushing through some minor changes, have you ever encountered an HTML file that just wasn't "working" anymore? And you've inserted so much code that it's darn near impossible to figure out what you forgot to do? Check out the latest version of CSE HTML Validator--the BEST HTML syntax checker available online (and off). If a page works in IE, but not in NS, it could be because of incorrect code. Even "expert" coders shouldn't be without this tool. It never hurts to double check your stuff before showing it to the world. It's quick, easy, and most importantly: a time saver!

GnomeCANDY Multimedia Xplorer v2.0.0 [1.2M] W9x/NT4 SW$25 Multimedia... what does that mean? You know all those graphics, videos, and sounds that you download from the Internet? They're multimedia files! But with so many of them scattered throughout your hard drive, it's darn near impossible to manage them with ease and speed. Enter Multimedia Xplorer. This new version has been completely redesigned to make it easier to manipulate those files. Convert graphics from one format to another, listen to your favorite sounds, create graphical slide shows, and keep your multimedia files well managed with this program. I'd also suggest the author's freeware utilities (which can be found on his site). [ DOWNLOAD 1 ] [ VISIT SITE ]

Ask Dr. Science Why is the sky blue? What makes rocks hard? Is that thing in the back of your throat (uvula) a vital organ? These are questions you might find asked of Dr. Science. His answers are anything but "correct," but they're definitely humorous (and worth reading). In fact, you can get the Q&A through e-mail if you don't want to visit his site every day! Feel free to ask him questions--if nobody asks, he'll have nothing to write about. Anything you've ever wanted to know about the world (or universe), you can ask Dr. Science. He's a funny guy, but I'm sure his answers won't help your science grades. What will tomorrow bring? Why don't you ask him... [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeDESKTOP THEME: Spiderman [1.0M] Spiderman, Spiderman... friendly neighborhood Spiderman. Even though I don't think spiders are that friendly, I have to admit that I needed my "Spidey" fix as a kid. I'm a very BIG arachnophobe. I can handle your run-of-the-mill insect, but I completely lose my cool if I see something with eight legs (or more). The more legs they have, the more I wig out. It's strange how something so small could make me feel so much fear. Now I'm going to have nightmares... great. Superhero, my foot! [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]
