Why do you say you can't create stand alone applications without the Toolkit?
Before the resource toolkit existed we had people creating stand alone
applications.  Right now I could create a program for you with dialogs,
menus, and so on in a matter of hours.  I could then remove our compiler
from the system and create a program that runs and looks like any normal
Windows program.

I'd be really interested in what made you say you can't create a stand alone
program.
