What amused me was the change in file handling between Win3.1 & 95....Originally posted by NickFitz View PostYup, I've never found the exercises in books very rewarding - I tend to hack about at something interesting and fall back on the book as reference material. Otherwise I finish up knowing how to write the example application (for which I have no use), and still having to work out how to apply what I've learned in more interesting areas
IIRC MS BASIC file handling has been fundamentally weird since the Seventies, and hasn't improved since, hence the tendency to use ADODB.Stream and its ilk for anything beyond the fifteen-entry flat file address book "database" that seems to have been the intended application.
Win3.1 is all lopen & low level file handling, locking stuff here there & everywhere, while 95 et al is back to fopen etc.Comment

Afternoon denizens
My basil plant has flowered
Actually you're not supposed to let them get to that stage as it reduces the production of the oils that gives the leaves their flavour... but it looks nice
