I've just gotten both Turbo C++ and Microsoft windows 3.0. What do I need to get to be able to write programs which access MS windows in Turbo C. (MS C 6.0 is not an acceptable answer.) I am lead by MS documentation to believe that I need the windows developers kit, but it is not clear if I can use that tool from Turbo C. My guess is that I can't. Any help would be appreciated.

Borland has announced that they are strongly committed to getting their stuff to work with Windows, but have not announced any specific products or dates. Based on past performance, they won't say much more until they actually have a product ready or about ready to ship. So there's no way of knowing when that will be. As for using the existing TC++ with Windows, the word from Borland is that there are too many areas of incompatibility for it to be practical, except for the trivial operation of running TC++ as a non-Windows app (in a DOS shell). You'll just have to wait for the Windows version. -- sidney markowitz <sidney@saturn.ucsc.edu>
