Which prgram do I need to buy?

I am BY NO MEANS a developer or a programmer... I just do tech
purchases for a school system.

A teacher wants about 20 licensse for the following program (He said he
got this info from the 'About' screen info):

Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Microsoft. Net Framework 1.1.4322 SP1

Microsoft Development Environment 2003 version 7.1.3088

So, do I just walk up to my friendly software reseller and say "Hi, I
want you to sell me 20 licenses of Microsoft Visual Basic.Net,
Microsoft. Net Framework 1.1.4322 SP1, Microsoft Development
Environment 2003 version 7.1.3088" ?

Im sure id get a befuddled look if I did this...

thanks all, sorry for the dumb question...

You need 20 licenses for Visual Basic .NET 2003

Though you might wanna buy 20 licenses of Visual Basic .NET 2005 (if you can
wait till Nov 7th)

On a different note, it's a little sad that schools teach VB :-(

I dont make up the cirriculum, so cant tell you why they teach it, nor
can I tell you why that would be considered 'sad'.

thank you for your information... someone on another newsgroup that
that product is "unpurchase-able" though... what say ye?

VB 2005 is not publicly released yet - the product launch is on Nov 7th
2005.

So, if you want to order it before that, go to

For schools, consider Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. It will be
available in 3 days.

Run this by your teacher: http://msdn.microsoft.com/VBasic/Express/

Actually, as a FIRST language, it's great for learning. As a professional
tool, it is more limited. My first language was Fortran followed by Basic
(no, not VB, nor even MS Basic, but earlier than that, think around 4K
Basic...hehe!), and I learned a lot by switching to Basic (not the least of
which was understanding the similarities in different languages). But that
was in 1969, your mileage may vary... : )

"Actually, as a FIRST language, it's great for learning"

then considering most of the kids are 14, 15, and 16 years old, I guess
it isn't so sad, eh?

Ill put in a suggestion to have them start out with Oracle SQL
programming in middle school for the 06 - 07 school year...

thanks for all ya'lls suggestions.

To complete others answers, Microsoft offers specific licensing programs for
schools, academics, etc in many countries... You should contact the
Microsoft branch in your country to see what they can offer you.

John Bentley: INTRO The phrase "decimal number" within a programming context is ambiguous. It could refer to the decimal datatype or the related but separate concept of a generic decimal number. "Decimal Number" sometimes serves to distinguish Base 10 numbers, eg "15", from Base 2 numbers, Eg "1111". At other times "Decimal Number" serves to differentiate a number from an integer. For the rest of this post I shall only use either...

Which of the UDB 8.2.2 ESE unix executables really need to gain root privilege while they are running? In my installation, the db2sysc file is owned by the instance-owner (and relevant admin group ownership), but when the db2-instance starts running (manually started via "su" as the instance-owner), the db2sysc process requests root access. I think that db2fmcd also requests root privilege.
