March 1996 Microsoft Systems Journal Content
The March 1996 Microsoft Systems Journal covers the following areas:


 * The Visual Programmer Fingers WinSock Functions from Visual Basic by Joshua Trupin. Joshua Trupin develops a small .ocx file that serves up WinSock functionality. Then he presents two programs written in Visual Basic that take advantage of it. One performs a finger command, while the other lets you test the Usenet NNTP news protocol.
 * Extend the Windows 95 Shell with Application Desktop Toolbars by Jeffrey Richter. The Windows 95 shell is easy to customize, although few people seem to know how, possibly because the documentation is scanty and confusing. Jeffrey Richter shows you how to develop a cool shell extension: application desktop toolbars.
 * Exploring the Client/Server Capabilities of Visual Basic 4.0 Enterprise Edition by Guy Eddon and Henry Eddon. Visual Basic 4.0 Enterprise Edition introduces a number of new features that make writing client/server applications easier, such as the Microsoft Jet database engine, Jet data control, DAO, ODBC, Remote Data Objects, a Remote data control, and remote automation.
