There is only one API that I know of to Windows and its 16 bit.  If you
are looking for 32-bit flat programming you need to go to a diffferent 
operating system like OS/2 version 2.0 (out soon) or Unix.  Supposidly
MicroSoft was going to make OS/2 be able to run Windows programs.  Has
anybody heard more about this???
