I've recently bought Borland C++ and want to start using it to program for Windows. Can anyone tell me, where/how I can get the SDK reference manuals? Are they available in stores? I'd prefer to buy from a store rather then order by mail. I recall reading that there were two library reference books. (Can't remember the names). Or, if there's something better available, what is it? I've already got Petzold's book, so tutorial-type stuff isn't needed. A reference to all the Windows API calls, is. Thanks for your help. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Joe Janakovic |Bitnet: acps1794@ryerson.ca (preferred) | | |UUCP: canrem!joe.janakovic | | Applied Computer Science |I'net: acps1794%ryerson.bitnet@utcs.utoronto.ca | | Ryerson Polytechnical | | | Institute | "I hope you realize this means war!" | | Toronto, Ontario, CANADA | - Bugs Bunny | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

There are three books in the MICROSOFT WINDOWS' PROGRAMMERS REFERENCE LIBRARY from MICROSOFT PRESS: Author: Microsoft Cooperation Title: Microsoft Windows: A Guide to Programming (Microsoft Windows Programmer's Reference Library) Source: Microsoft Press, Redmont, 1990 Price: $29.95 (cover price) ISBN 1-55615-308-2 Author: Microsoft Cooperation Title: Microsoft Windows: Programming Tools (Microsoft Windows Programmer's Reference Library) Source: Microsoft Press, Redmont, 1990 Price: $24.95 (cover price) ISBN 1-55615-310-4 Author: Microsoft Cooperation Title: Microsoft Windows: Programmer's Reference (Microsoft Windows Programmer's Reference Library) Source: Microsoft Press, Redmont, 1990 Price: $39.95 (cover price) ISBN 1-55615-309-0 They should be available in your local bookstore. Would be nice if somebody could comment on the information over noise ratio of these books (especially of the first both).

I've seen two of them on shelves in the last year. If they won't order, call Microsoft. BTW, THELP has the complete listing in its help stuff. Consider that if all you need is an API reference. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Tom Hite | The views expressed by me | |Manager, Product development | are mine, not necessarily | |CADSI (Computer Aided Design Software Inc. | the views of CADSI. | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
