Agree. That was one of the biggest 180 degree changes in software ever. So much VB 6 was out there, and development was just slammed shut.

It was literally criminal to not continue a separate branch from Microsoft for VB 6.0. I would bet there remains still a substantial footprint of companies running on it as their UI.

I still have floppies for RBase 5.5 and 6.0, a floppy with "DOS 4GW files" (or so the label says...) 26 floppies in all. I guess those can go in the trash?

A couple months ago on one of my periodic purges of office papers, I ran across my Crystal Reports instruction manual that came with that old RBase for Windows! I had forgotten using that as the report writer, that was a pretty powerful little piece of software! And taped inside were my little floppies. Don't remember the virus issue. Floppies got tossed, manual went into the recycle pile. I put only one of my clients on version 5.? I wasn't real impressed with that early version and luckily waited around for 6!

The distributions disks also included a virus and we were quickly notified and send replacement floppies. If I recall correctly, this might have been the last version for Microrim/Abacus before RBTI took over.

I know I can recreate the reports with R:BASE, which I plan to do, but because of a time crunch I’m in from delaying a project because of COVID-19 I’m wondering if I can print them from my application.
