The Windows 95 shell is easy to customize, although few people seem to know how, possibly because the documentation is scanty and confusing. Jeffrey Richter shows you how to develop a cool shell extension: application desktop toolbars. - Exploring the Client/Server Capabilities of Visual Basic 4.0 Enterprise Edition by Guy Eddon and Henry Eddon. Visual Basic 4.0 Enterprise Edition introduces a number of new features that make writing client/server applications easier, such as the Microsoft Jet database engine, Jet data control, DAO, ODBC, Remote Data Objects, a Remote data control, and remote automation.
