Hi all:

I have been programming for several years in DOS. I have recently
upgraded my system to Windows 98, and thus wish to program in my new
operating system. I know nothing about the different languages available
for windows programming, and have a few important requirements for my new
language. Would any of you be able to recomend a language?

O The language must be able to play .wav files quickly and stably, and
preferably in background, so that they could be interrupted by another
wav.
O It  must be able to capture key commands, so that I can design a custome
menu.
O I am used to programming in advanced Batch, so if the language could be
similar to this language that would be great, but not esencial.

If you know of a language that might match some of these points, could you
please tell me where to get some tutorials, FAQ or lists of commands and
functions, and where I might find a compiler?

Thank you ever so much for all your help. I greatly appreciate your time
and assistance.

Sincerely

Danny.
