[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Programming for Windows

  Hi

  I am writing a program that uses a spectral analyzer board to
acquire data and draw nice pictures of it.
My employer wants it to run under Windows.   

My questions are: 

- Together with the board (a product by Nuclear Data) is supplied
  some C-code and a small piece of object-code. The function 
  defined in the object code communicates with a TSR-program that
  communicates with the spectral analyzer board. All functions
  defined in the C-code depends on the single function in the object-
  code. In order to control the board and to receive data from it 
  these functions must be used.
  Can Windows handle this arrangement ?

- The program must also control a HV-device and this will
  be done via a D/A-board. The output voltage of the D/A-board is
  determined the values written to two consecutive memory locations.
  The exact locations I don't have right now.
  Is this going to be a problem for Windows.    

- In my company Turbo-C is the standard language. Is it possible to 
  use the Windows Programmers Toolbox with Turbo-C or is Ms-C 
  required.

I am writing this using VI on my PC with Bitcom terminal emulator
program. Why is my screen not updated correctly. Everytime I
try to insert a new line anywhere in the file the cursor jumps
to the first line and stays there till I press Ctrl-L. The typed
text goes to the right place though.


If possible answer by mail.

Thanks in advance
