║ ───────────── A LITTLE VISUAL BASIC APPLICATION ──────────── ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Hi, Steve Gibson here ...
Interest and activity has been overflowing in the Visual Basic
section of the MSLANG forum on Compuserve ── several months
before Visual Basic would probably be available to everyone at
local retailers ── So I decided to upload the first little VB
application which I wrote so that people who had not yet had the
opportunity to play with Visual Basic might be able to see a
somewhat modest example of what can be done by someone WITHOUT
ANY PRIOR WINDOWS programming experiences **WHATSOEVER** during
his first two days of experimentation...
This was the first app I wrote with VB, and you'll see evidence
of my "messing around" with VB to see what and how to do the
things I wanted to. I've since written several other apps which
are substantially more mature in their internal organization.
I hope you enjoy playing with this.

║ OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS AND NOTES ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
I quickly converted the operating PES program, which operates
over our network in a multi-user fashion, into one which would
not require a network to operate. However, the programs's two
.DAT files *MUST* be placed in a subdirectory named: \PES
which branches off the system's root directory of the default
(probably C: or D:) hard disk.

│ REMEMBER!!! -- YOU MUST HAVE A COPY OF THE VISUAL BASIC │
│ RUNTIME .DLL LIBRARY FILE (VBRUN100.DLL) ON YOUR HARD DISK │
│ IN ORDER TO USE ANY VISUAL BASIC .EXE PROGRAMS. DOWNLOAD IT │
│ FROM THE MSLANG FORUM IN DL6, UNZIP IT, AND PLACE IT IN YOUR │
│ MAIN WINDOWS DIRECTORY (PROBABLY \WINDOWS). │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The files in this ZIP are:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PES.EXE - An MS-Windows EXE file written, developed, and
compiled entirely within the new Visual Basic
environment. It may be placed wherever is
convenient, or it may reside with its two .DAT data
files in a subdirectory named: \PES
It has cute little ICON that was created with the
ICONWRKS icon editor which is a sample app
(including full source code) that's provided with
Visual Basic. Place PES into a program manager
group if you want to see its icon.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
TS-PES.DAT - This file contains the Peer Evaluation "categories"
and "attitudes" that are displayed under PES.
(That'll make more sense to you when you run PES)
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PES.DAT - This overly-large (but highly compressible <grin>!)
file contains the user's password and current
settings. If you forget your password after once
setting it, simply unzip the original copy from the
downloaded ZIP file to "un-register" your password.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
That's about it. 5/29/91 - Steve Gibson.
