Actually, I have done all my PM development using MSC 6.0 alone.  I
have no other toos, yet this is all I need.  I don't have the Softset
or anything like that.  MSC 6.0 has the header files, and that is
enough to let you call all PM API functions.  You don't get a dialog
editor, or any of the fancy stuff, that is true, but it is enough to
do substantial protected mode, PM, multithreaded development.

MSC 6.0 is the bare minimum.

Whether or not you will consider it an acceptable minimum is perhaps
another question...
