To program under MS Windows in C you will need to buy a copy of MS Windows SDK from Microsoft. The SDK is a set of libraries that allow you to create MS Windows applications. You will also need a copy of Microsoft C Compiler 5.X or 6.0. The two books on programming MS Widows is "Programming Windows" by Charles Petzold. I heard he will be coming out with a Win 3.0 version soon. "Programmers's Guide to Windows" by David Durant, Geta Calson and Paul Yau. Again the current version talks about Win 2.0 only. The MS Windows SDK contains books on programming under Windows. I think MS Press also sells these books by themselves. For hints in creating Windows applications you can subscribe to the "Microsoft Systems Journal". It contains articles on MS Windows programming. If you do not want to program in C you have a few choices 1) Actor (OOP like language), 2) Zortec C++ 2.1 (Requires SDK), 3) Toolbook (Hypercard), 4) others???
