	I have to jump in here.  I hope if they do they tighten up the compiler. (I
won't be holding my breath)  Otherwise, 400K FB apps will probably be 1600K
and need two separate libraries to run.  You will have to use two disks to
hold the installer and version 2 libraries will not work with version one
apps.  Never used VB but watch competitors struggle with their stuff and have
used their installers.  When installers start fiddling with the system, it is
scary.  I don't always have the 45 minutes to re-install Windows 95 and while
VB installers have never hurt anything, it makes you hope they know what they
are doing.  Then when you try to run the app, sometimes it still does not
work, calling for tweakit.dll or some such nonsense. 
	And I just heard that VB is #1 in the Windows vertical development market.
I'll stick with Delphi and FB. 

	Just my idea,

	GB
