To give a flavour of the Visual Basic binding, here is ZOOM's equivalent of the ``Hello World'' program: a tiny Z39.50 client that fetches and displays the MARC record for Farlow & Brett Surman's The Complete Dinosaur from the Library of Congress.
Set zoom = WScript.CreateObject("VBZOOMC.ZoomFactory")
Set zconn = zoom.CreateZoomConnection("z3950.loc.gov", 7090)
zconn.SetOption "databaseName","Voyager"
zconn.SetOption "preferredRecordSyntax", "USmarc"
Set zquery = zoom.CreateZoomQuery("@attr 1=7 0253333490")
Set zrs = zconn.Search(zquery)
WScript.Echo zrs.GetRecord(0).RenderRecord
We currently have the following implementations of the Visual Basic binding:
