Did you know (and not a lot of people know this :-)) that...

You can't be in the MSWindows 3.0 environment and compile an
MSC 6.0 program so that you can remain in the environment
while you compile-debug your windows application (SDK).
The compiler runs out of heap space!!

nmake when run from a DOS-PROMPT within windows 3.0, hangs
my PS2/80 (4Mb RAM DOS3.3).

Microsoft will not deal with SDK questions over the phone
and on-line questions must go through Compuserve :-(

Looks like I've bought myself a cross compiler and will
have to run the compiles from another PC (on a shared disk)
if I intend to remain in windows for testing. WHAT A PAIN!!

Comments/hints suggestions on the above anyone?
