- Okay, so the local campus store (complete with discounts) finally had
- Visual Basic for Windows on display. I always knew that the Professional
- Edition came with some "extras," but was never sure *what*. The DOS versions
- seem to differ mainly in terms of ISAM support, as far as I could tell.
-
- But the Standard and Professional Windows packages seem *really* different.
- I saw nothing about "multimedia" on the Standard box, but a lot of requirements
- on the Professional edition -- that plus the email, comm tools, etc.
-
- Anyway, can someone offer some advice as to which edition would be best
- for doing multimedia application on an *Ultimedia* machine? With all IBM-type
- multimedia hardware (which, I'm guessing, could mean that the built-ins
- in the Professional box won't help me diddly...)
-
- There's quite a bit of price difference, and I guess I'm not sure if
- you can *do* everything with the Standard box (and the Professional just
- lets you at it faster), or you *need* the Professional package to do
- multimedia (sound, images, video, etc...)
-
- Thanks!
- Roger
