Sorry, my email doesn't work right now--sysop problem.

Petzold, of course.  I also enjoy the Sybex book by Paul Yao, David Durant and
someone else.  Yao is a frequent contributor to Microsoft Systems Journal
(q.v.) and Durant taught the Microsoft University Windows course I attended.
The update of their book to Win3 doesn't seem to be out yet, but the older
version is still quite helpful.  There sure seems to be a lot of junk out
there about Windows programming, though, doesn't there?  There's a glut of
dBASE books, too, but at least most of them are decent.

Be sure you get the latest Petzold, updated for Win3--it's hard to find
right now.
