Profit by Microsoft was written mostly in Visual Basic. Most of the current version of Quicken was written in VB2. The viewer/launcher/installer in the oh-so-popular Way Cool [Topic] for Windows series of CD-ROMs was written in VB3. Microsoft Project was also developed in VB. The award winning web page editor Hot Dog from Sausage Software (http://www.sausage.com) was written in VB. Microsoft uses VB extensively for smaller utilities. 3 of the small apps in the Windows and Windows for Workgroups Resource Toolkits are written in VB. Also, if you have the Microsoft Bookshelf CD-ROM, you will notice that the MVOPTION.EXE program, which is an “options” program for MS Viewer, is created in VB. Note: The existence of VBX/OCX files in a package doesn’t necessarily mean that it was written in VB. The most popular C++ compilers also support OCX/VBXes.
