In the "Electronic Engineering Times", October 8, 1990, an article
explains that Caere Corp. is the first to announce a "32-bit wide
Windows 3.0 application, which bypasses the ... normal 16-bit limit."

The article goes on to read "[the] package makes full use of host
80386 or 80486 32-bit processing" and "Microsoft now has 32-bit code
drivers and routines that are available for [WDK] users by request."

My questions:

* What does full use of 32-bit processing mean in this case? Is the
entire application using a flat, 32-bit address space?

* Does it use virtual memory and is that provided via Windows or an
extender product or home grown?

* What compilers, extenders, other tools are required and/or available
for developing 32-bit windows applications? Any preferences for one or
another?

Thanks,
Patrick

P.S. Sorry if this posting is redundant. We have had News problems
lately and I can't guarantee that I've seen all the articles.
