This is a question about Windows in general and 3.0 in
particular.
The company I am working for is considering writing some
software using a Windows interface. We are doing this to get
maximum device independence and as I understand it, under
Windows 3.0, to break the 640K barrier as we will be using
some very large data sets.
Just some general questions:
How difficult is it to program in Windows? (i.e. pick up the
calls and get to know the general stuff.)
What languages are easily supported, besides MS-C and MS-Pascal?
How easy is it do do graphics in Windows? (i.e. bar charts,
pie charts, etc.) Obviously Windows is a graphical interface, but
how much control over graphics primitives is there?
Are there useful libraries for this sort of thing?
And any other information that you could give me would be
helpful.
You can E-Mail me or send replies here. I will try post a
summary here. Thanks.
