Introducing the Dictionary Object
---------------------------------

Visual Basic 6.0 includes a new Dictionary object that can be used instead
of a Collection object or an Array. A Dictionary object is the equivalent
of an associative array as used in PERL and other languages. The Dictionary
object provides additional properties and methods that aren't available for
Collections or Arrays.

The Dictionary object is contained in the Microsoft Scripting Runtime
(Scrrun.dll) that ships with Visual Basic 6.0. You must add a reference to
Scrrun.dll in order to use the Dictionary object in your project.

To learn more about the Dictionary object, search online, with Search
titles only selected, for "Dictionary Object" in the MSDN Library Visual
Studio 6.0 documentation.
