It lists for approx. $500 and can be purchased from various discount
software houses for about $300-$350.  It does not contain the C compiler
per se, however it does contain an "upgrade" to the compiler presumably
to allow it to compile windows code :-).  It provides support for writing
windows applications in Pascal or MASM as well as C.  Pascal and MASM
are also absent from the SDK itself.  It does include tools for editing
things such as window attributes and icons.

This package is for the development of applications to run under windows
only.  There are other develpment kits available from Microsoft for
writing hardware device drivers and the OEM kit for porting to non-IBM
compatible platforms.  The latter two are not available to the general
public.

Hope that helps.
