The sample code can be found in the SourceVB6 and SourceVB5 directories. The SourceVB6 directory contains the VB6 source, which is the reference source code for the book. The SourceVB5 directory contains VB5 versions of the sample programs; however, all of the behavior of the code (as described in the puzzles and solutions) is based on VB6. The VB5 versions are provided as a courtesy and should exhibit the same behavior, but I won't guarantee it. |

Under the SourceVB6 directory, you will find three subdirectories: Puzzles, Solved, and Tutorial. Each of these directories contains additional subdirectories for each individual puzzle or tutorial. The Puzzles subdirectory contains the sample code that exhibits the problem described in the puzzle. The Solved directory contains the final solution to each puzzle. The Tutorial directory contains the sample code for the tutorials. |

The Cheaders directory contains the Microsoft C header files and is included here courtesy of Microsoft under their Open Tools program. Search these header files to find the values of constants and data type information. |

I don't know what operating system you're running. Even if you told me, I wouldn't know what operating system you're running. |

At the time this book went to press, you would most likely be running one of the following: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows NT 2000 beta. |

That means I would need to test each puzzle against five operating systems to see if the results that I describe in the solutions actually match what you will see. But even that level of testing would not be sufficient because |

Your Windows 95 might be original, have a service pack installed, or be the OSR1 or OSR2 release. |

|
Your NT 3.51 could have any of five different service packs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your NT 4.0 could have any of four different service packs. |

|
Even if I knew which version of Windows 95 you installed and which NT service packs you installed, it would still not be sufficient, because every time you install a package from Microsoftbe it Visual Studio (in all of its versions and associated service packs), Internet Explorer (which changes monthly), or Microsoft Officeyou may be installing new system components. |
