I am interested in doing C language development
for OS/2 and the Presentation Manager.
It seems that the best way to do this
is to buy Microsoft C 5.1 and get some kind of
Software Developers Kit (SDK) from Microsoft.
Does anyone know about availability and pricing
of these developers kits. If you use Microsoft
5.1 don't you have to do your actual development
under DOS. I have seen plenty of good books on
OS/2 and the Presentation Manager development
in the bookstore so all I really need is a C compiler
and the necessary library include files (I think).

I have also heard that MS C 6.0 will not have
support for Object Oriented Programming but will
support OS/2. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Thanks
