Hi Josh, Yes, and my Windows games that started out as dos games still have most of the code from the dos versions. That is why they are similar. But I can do much more with sounds in VB6 and DirectX than I could with a third party wave file player program in dos. As I said a couple of days

Hi Ken, One nice thing about the Microsoft Visual Studio 6 tool is that it looked at my game of Life, figured out it's dependencies, found them and bundled them for distribution. So then the setup.exe install file knows where to properly install those files. May I ask, does the IIS tool do t
