I'm a Mac Programmer (no flames, please!) who wants to write for
the Windows environment.  I'm hoping someone will give me some
pointers for:

Best development system (i.e. compiler):  Do I have to get C?  Can I get
Pascal?  What is Microsoft's SDK - Does it come with most compilers or
is it a separate purchase?  Is it available cheap from mail order?
Note: I prefer Pascal, but I can do C.  Looking for any recommendations.

References/Documentation:  There must be a Windows version of "Inside Mac."
If there are any good intro books, please feel free to recommend those.
(By intro books, I mean something beyond "this is a bitmap...
but easier to read than a straight list of system calls.

Programming Tools: I have no idea what's available, but if you tell me
what you think is indispensible...

If this information is already compiled into a "most often asked question
list," my apologies, but I did read through about 240 messages and
didn't find this kind of thread.

Thanks for any help,

-Owen
