        VB3 was good for it's day but VB4 and VB5 added a lot to the language.
        VB4 is fine for learning but is a slow, bloated, buggy pig that isn't
        suitable for any production work. VB5 cleaned things up a lot and
        VB5/VB6 are all but interchangeable .

        I'd try ebay or a similar source for anybody selling old VB3 or VB4
        manuals.

          Well, personally I think you are wasting your time with VB4
          When I finally was forced into Windows I got VB4 as I needed to code
          for 16 bit Windows
          - it just made me sick
          - VB5 however is rather nice

          The VB4 manuals are not much use, there is one that lists all the
          commands etc, which is basically a paper copy of the Help system,
          - and a second manual with more 'advanced' stuff in it
          - I found neither particularly useful
