1. Project Analyzer v9 finds hidden VB flaws

Locate errors and omissions in Visual Basic projects. Project Analyzer v9
detects hidden flaws and logic mistakes in VB code. 52 new review rules
look for useless, superfluous or dangerous code.

Detect unconditional If statements, missing and overlapping Case
branches, hard-coded paths and bad variable choices. Find half-dead
variables written by unused procedures only. Add missing keywords such
as Shared, ReadOnly, MustOverride and NotInheritable. Enforce consistent
style and class design rules.

New version, new features:
