I can only answer part of what's in the SDK because I have the last BETA
version (although my order is in for the final release), and the SDK
is at work, so I'll try to recall as much as possible:
The SDK contains the Dialog Editor, Font editor, Heapwalker, SPY,
and an assortment of other tools. Aside from these (and of course
the libraries and includes), the SDK contains a variety of source
code examples (although I found many to be trivial, there is a good
enough set to be usefull).
Oh yeah, there is also the resource compiler (rc) and the help
compiler (hc).
I found the documentation less than I hoped. (Recall what I have
is beta). If MS kept essentially the same conents, it was more a list
of functions rather than a real attempt at showing how to use them.
As for C 6.0, aside from the better optimization, etc, 6.0
introduced based pointers and the programmer's workbench. PWB is
a step up but I have to confess I prefer the Turbo environment.
