I for one am very glad to see this. The more information you can provide on a product (obviously with out releasing 'trade secrets') the better. It wasn't until I got the SDK that I realized how potent windows is. I had written my own screen manipulation libs for pop up windows, pulldown menus, etc. in the past, but totally abandoned that when I saw what windows programming had to offer. By releasing information via MS Press, you'll definitely get more people looking into windows programming that hadn't thought about it before. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Sampson Harris Corporation dsampson@x102a.ess.harris.com Gov't Aerospace Systems Divison uunet!x102a!dsampson Melbourne, Florida -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
