The Multimedia Extensions for Windows and Windows 3.1 are not the same thing. For a good overview of the capabilities of the extensions see the Microsoft Systems Journal March 1991 issue. The only things that I know about Windows 3.1 are what Bill Gates has said in speeches and Microsoft statements. To wit: 1) It will feature True Type scaleable font technology. 2) File Manager won't be such a snail. Unfortunately, due to agreements that all developers have signed, nobody is going to be able to answer your questions about the extensions or Windows 3.1. Articles like the one in MSJ and the public statements Microsoft makes are going to be your only sources for info until the products are released. >Is the Borland C++ compiler right now capable of generating apps for it? >Will I need an SDK (I use only BC right now)...? I think I can answer those without violating any agreements... Yes, you can generate apps with BC++. No, you won't need an SDK. John Munsch
