I am new to the ms-windows programming game and was hoping someone could give me some advice on what tools to use. I've worked a lot with UNIX, X-windows, and Xview application development. My DOS programming skills are a little rusty but I have used both MicroSoft and Borland flavors of C and C++. I've seen dev kits available from both MS and Borland but until now have been unwilling to shell out money for them. Which is better? Are there better or lower cost alternatives I should know about? My goal is take some of the X apps I've written and create ms-windows equivalent applications. Are there any good books that I should know about (something like 'MS-Windows Programming for X-Windows Bigots' would be perfect). Thanks in advance for any help. -- Thad Phetteplace Network Systems Analyst, Allen-Bradley Co.
