Windows related and useful?  Thought these might be good packages to extend

TPW (Turbo Pascal for Windows) is a great products, it is very stable, compiles 
very fast. The libraries are good (just transations of the WINDOWS.H from the 
Microsoft Windows SDK). The ObjectWindows interface is great to make 
applications, it frees you from huge amounts of case statements.

Tim, are you talking about bc++ because the Whitewater group is talking about a 
bc++ as a windows app. similar to tpw. This would have to be a new product in 
my mind.
