[comp.windows.ms] Windows 3.0 developing..

tim@chaos.math.uakron.edu (Timothy Smith) (07/26/90)

I am wondering just what it takes to do windows development...
I have gotten Actor 3.0 so I can do windows prototyping and then I would
like to use C to code the stuff...  Actor comes with the RC (resource compiler)
and windows comes with the DLL (dynamic link libraryies)  and I have MSC 5.1
What else do I need... to write the program in C... Does the SDK come with
libraryies that I don't have.. I don't need the debugger what comes with
the SDK... (there are better debuggers out there)  ... This may seem like
a dumb question, but I just hate to buy the SDK when I believe I have most
of the tools already..  Can anyone shed some light on the subject..

Tim, you most definatly need the SDK to do C programming.  In order to create a
program in C you need to create many things that require direct Windows function
calls that are in the .LIB files with the SDK.

Does anyone have any idea if fortran development is possible under Wundows 3?
From: b31@nbi.csci.unt.edu (David Williams)

Are there any fortran compilers available under Windows 3 that will allow
me to use extended memory directly?  I know Lahey's allows extended memory
use with a dos extender (AIsomethingorother) but will this work inside 
Windows 3?  Any experiences allong these lines and/or pointers would be
appreciated.

thanks in advance.
