- Just a word on speed. Visual Basic 2.0 runs extremely fast on my 486. The only
- program which I have ever complained about running was a toolbook app. Now
- that was slow. 1+ second to select an item and have it change screens. Thats
- on a 486-50. I know VB is slower than C++, but it is also a hell of a lot
- easier. I am seriously considering using VB as a front end into windows and
- writing code in C++. (uh oh, more DLL's. Objectwindows, VB, etc... :))
- Well anyways, a good install program should make sure that its not installing
- DLL's which already exist (if possible) and deleting its own copy of
- redundant ones.
