Does Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 support 16-bit development?
No, Microsoft has chosen to dedicate its efforts to the more scalable and high-performance 32-bit platform. By focusing the development team on one 32-bit product, we were able to add many new features to Visual Basic 6.0. Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0, which targets 16- and 32-bit Windows development, will remain on the market as long as there is a demand for it.
