Well, first off, I CAN tell you that you will need at least MSC 5.1 or
Zortech C++ 2.x....that alone will be over 250 dollars.  Then you will
need the Windows SDK, another 300 dollars.  Next, you will want a 
good Windows debugger, such as, hmmm, Multiscope.  About 250 dollars.
Then you will NEED a monochrome monitor for watching source as 
output is directed to color.  Another 150 dollars (including card).

After THAT, you will want to pick up about 3 or 4 books on programming
Windows 3.0, each at about 24.95-39.95.  Figure 100 bucks total.

After that, if you want a toolkit, most that I know of are either for
C++ (C++ Views) or are their own program language (Actor).  Neither is 
cheap.

Windows programming is NOT easy.

Finally, I would recommend that you post on the windows group, which
I can't remember.  Something like comp.os.windows.msdos.programmer
or some such nonsense.  Comp.os.msdos.windows.programmer maybe..who
knows.

Hope this helped,

Brian
