Hi all,

I have a number of VB5 apps on my machine and wish to
install VB6 on the same machine. Can these two versions
of VB exist on the same machine and be run independently
without any problems/adjustments???

Thanks,
Ken

This is a VB.NET group. Please turn to one of the VB Classic newsgroups
(microsoft.public.vb.*).
 
Hi Armin,

I'm curious.

He said this several hours ago.

Now you're saying:

I don't understand who gains from this post.

Not everyone sees this group from the same server, so it is possible to not
see a message someone else posted. It is best to not assume it was
intentional, Fergus.
 
Fergus,

Most people do not view threads in real-time. So Armin may have picked up an
image of the newsgroup at, say, 20:10 (UK time) which didn't include
Herfried's reply. Armin then works through all of his own replies, and then
posts them to the newsgroup at 23:22. Only then will he get his next
snapshot of the newsgroup and see Herfried's reply.

Are you relatively new to using newgroups?

Regards,

Mark

Hi Ken,

I once tried to get these two to co-exist, but didn't succeed.

HTH,

Hi MichKa,

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that.

Seems strange though - missing posts or just delays?

But it was intentional! I always wait for Herfried's answers and copy them
into my posts.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for that, I didn't know about snapshots.

Relatively new? Three weeks new! :-)

Delays. If I am not at home I download the postings every 15 minutes,
write the replies, upload them and download the new postings. So I
don't see replies which are written by others in the 15 minutes. Some
other people download messages every hour or in even longer intervals.

If you have a script for doing that, please share it with me.

Hi Herfried,

Ahah! And that's why you don't get zips. To minimise download time [he
guesses].

As mentioned in a previous posting, there are some people with a ~2 KB
(kilobyte)/s connection.
 
Hi Herfried,

You mean <you>?? [steps back in amazement, bumps his heels on the cat and
falls over].

Condolences, :-(

No, _I_ have a faster connection, but I am not an egoist who adds 100 KB
attachments to each post.

Hi,

Different paths or offline message review, or even using a reader (like most
of use) like Outlook Express. If the server receives a reply while you
already have downloaded messages and are reviewing them for reply, you won't
see the other reply until you get the next set of headers -- for me, this
delay is typically several hours.
