Sorry, my email doesn't work right now--sysop problem. In article <1991Jan31.183749.811@tc.fluke.COM>, moriarty@tc.fluke.COM (Jeff Meyer) writes: > I'd like to hear opinions about the various books dealing with programming > in Windows 3, good or bad. Petzold, of course. I also enjoy the Sybex book by Paul Yao, David Durant and someone else. Yao is a frequent contributor to Microsoft Systems Journal (q.v.) and Durant taught the Microsoft University Windows course I attended. The update of their book to Win3 doesn't seem to be out yet, but the older version is still quite helpful. There sure seems to be a lot of junk out there about Windows programming, though, doesn't there? There's a glut of dBASE books, too, but at least most of them are decent. Be sure you get the latest Petzold, updated for Win3--it's hard to find right now. /alastair/
