FREE CODE DATABASE
------------------

A while ago, in the Visual Basic message boards, their was talk of a 
FREE CODE DATABASE. Well, I was thinking about this, and came up with
some ideas.  Obviously all of us are going to have our little tricks.
I have shared some of mine with you in the form of VBEXAMP, and the
second set of examples, whose names escape me.

Here is my proposal.

First off, since you can only have eight (8) characters in a file
name, we do it like this.

  AAAA = (4 characters) represents the first 4 letters in your
         screen name.

  V = (1 Character) Visual Basic Version number used to create this.

  S = (1 Character) Subject matter.
                1 Database
                2 MultiMedia 
                3 ETC
  
  WWW = (3 Characters) A number for an example. 

  -----------------     IF ANYTHING IS EVER IN A DATABASE, WE SHOULD
  AAAA V S WWW .ZIP     USE THE ACCESS 1.1 FORMAT AS THE STANDARD.
                        SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO WRITE A DATABASE VIEWER
  -----------------     AND WRITER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THIS.

  Lets say I wrote a multimedia example. 
  This would be the filename:

        WILL32001.ZIP  

  This way you know that WILLIAM234 wrote it, it is compatible with
  everything after VB version 3, it is MultiMedia oriented, and it is
  the first example. All that in an 8 character name.


  IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN USING THIS FORMAT, CONTACT ME AT

        WILLIAM234

  SO I CAN GET A LIST TOGETHER.  I WILL THEN POST THE LIST, AND WILL
  MAKE LATER INFORMATION THAT COMES UP AVAILABLE.  I AM GOING TO WAIT 
  ABOUT 3 MONTHS TO SEE IF THIS CATCHES ON.
