Okay ! I just got to say this. Give praise where praise is due.
I called Microsoft on Monday asking for the Windows 3.0 SDK supplemental
complier utilities. Today, on Wednesday noon time, the disks are here
in Ft. Collins. Now, I would say that is very good for customer support.
Thanks Microsoft.

I just got a mail from Joel Spolsky asking that I post a brief summary
of the utilities included in the "Supplemental Compiler Utilities" disk.
I think I'll just do that, don't think MS will be upset :-).
Actually, there is not very much. 5 utilities, LINK, LIB, IMPLIB,
EXEHDR and MAKE. Now, LINK is the segment-executable version of course.
LIB, everybody know. IMPLIB is for creating Windows import libraries
for dynamic link libraries. EXEHDR is for examining the header info
in Windows executables and libraries. MAKE is the Microsoft "C" version
5.1 utility (the crappy one, I don't use that, I use Zortech C++'s
or CNS C++/Views').
There are also 5 corresponding documentation files in Windows Write
format.
And lastly, the cover letter wishes me (the Windows SDK owner) to
successfully use these tools to develop a Windows application using the
language compiler of my choice. Thanks MS.
So, there's nothing fancy, but allows you to write Windows 3.0 programs
without needing to buy Microsoft C.
