Lines: 18 In-reply-to: martti@spencer.cs.uoregon.edu's message of 10 Nov 89 01:02:24 GMT According to Microsoft, the SDK program is dead. The SDK for OS/2 1.1 was the last. Sometime next year there will be something equivalent to an SDK for 1.2. I haven't tried the 1.1 SDK on 1.2 yet. It might not work. CASE:PM will not replace the SDK. In fact, you can think of it as an interface to all the tools in the SDK (though it does more than that). CASE:PM is relatively wart-free, and it will let you write the PM equivalent of the hello world program in about 20 minutes. I'm having trouble making it handle a more complex program, but I'm a PM neophyte. If it were my money, and I had the weeks to spend reading PM manuals, I'd save the $900 and do it without CASE:PM (but we don't, so we tried it). --- Scott Peterson scottp@eecs.cs.pdx.edu uunet!tektronix!radix!sdp
