One of the guys I work with called PB about this and they told him it
wouldn't work as well...maybe next version.

Have you checked out VB 4.0?  Our speed tests show it and pb/dll to be
about the same.  Overall I am pretty dissapointed in pb/dll, in fact I
am thinking about asking for my money back.  No IDE interface for one,
going back and forth between editor and compiler is a joke, that went
out after I left Fortran and was dissapointed to see it return.  The
entire program seems kludged together.  If you are still using VB 3.0
then I can see how pb/dll would be a great addition, but since we are
using VB 4.0 its of no use.       Eric
