   About the Windows support and the protected mode tools included in the
   Borland 2.0 package, do we still need to get the MS Software Development
   Toolkit package in order to write Windows program if we have had Borland 2.0?

To my understanding, the MS SDK contains a few items which might help,
and two which could really help.  The things which might help are a
few utility programs (heap walker, causes memory movement, maybe not
so necessary in protected mode, and spy, like TDW watch message) and
the two that are a big  help are the documentation (which borland
gives on-line) and the debugging version of windows.  The
documentation is available from book stores (I paid $70 or so at a
local discount book store).  The debugging kernel is just like windows
3.0 with all the sanity checks left in.  That way you can catch the
stupid thing you just did now, rather than 15 minutes later when you
get a UAE.  This in my opinion is the most valuable part of the SDK.
Of course, you can decide whether or not that is worth $500 to you.
Since I'm funding this my self, it's not worth it to me.
