VBFILEIO: Demonstrates Visual Basic with Windows DLLs

VBFILEIO gives Microsoft(R) Visual Basic(TM) applications access to C run-time stream input/output (I/O) functions. The sample also demonstrates linking to a dynamic-link library (DLL) function from Visual Basic and using Visual Basic data types as parameters.

VBFILEIO is a companion sample application for the "Extending Visual Basic with Microsoft Windows DLLs" technical article on the Microsoft Developer Network CD.

VBFILEIO was created using Microsoft Visual Basic version 2.0 and Microsoft C/C++ version 7.0.
