Okay, I just called MicroSoft and was informed that their SDK cost $500.
Are there any alternatives???

Buying the SDK is just like buying any other piece of software.  If you look
in the PC Magazine ads there are mail order stores that sell SDK for as low
as $319 (or maybe lower).  You don't need to go to Microsoft directly.

I am a little confused over what is actually contained in the different
packages. The most important question is, is the Codeview for Windows
debugger included in the SDK or the C 6.0 compiler. I know that 6.0 has
Codeview. Further, besides the libraries, what does the SDK include. What 
tools and documentation. I want to use Quick C 2.5 to begin my learning
experience with Windows programming (Microsoft says it is sufficient), but
I would like to know what tools I am missing from C 6.0. I am not 
concerned with optimizing my code as much as I am with optimizing
my time programming and learning.

I realize that Whitewater has some additional tools, so I don't need info 
on that. Thanks.
