I'm planning on writing an application under DOS that is very user-interactive. I'd like to use a windowing interface, so MS Windows 3.0 comes to mind. I have some *very* basic questions that I'm hoping some kind soul can answer: - Is there a decent (commercial) developers package available for Windows 3.0? If so, where can I obtain it and how much is it? - How well does Windows 3.0 perform on, say, a 16 MHz 386? I'm mainly concerned about graphics performance for things like graphing, bitmaps, etc. - What is the maximum amount of memory a Windows 3.0 application can allocate from the system? My application will typically be memory hungry. - I'm looking for a *good* book on programming under Windows 3.0. Is there a bible out yet? If not, what's the next best thing? I know these are really basic questions, but I haven't been monitoring this newsgroup and I haven't had the time to dig around through the rags. Please email all comments so that we don't clutter up the newsgroup. Thanks in advance for any and all information!!!
