[] A few years back the Mac used to have a sample skeleton application that "did nothing but did it well". I found this very useful for getting started quickly with programming in that environment. Does anyone know if that program or something similar was ported to Windows? Isaac Dimitrovsky (dimitrov@lab.ultra.nyu.edu)

Yes, the program is called GENERIC, and is one of a dozen or so samples
shipped with the Windows SDK.

For a 'skeletral' windows program, take a look at the "Guide to Programming" from Microsoft press. Better still, get hold of Petzold's "Programming Windows" (Petzold doesn't have a 'skeletral' application per se, but it will get you started programming windows - excellent book. Terrell
