Howdy all.  I have been messing around with the Windows SDK and C 6.00 and
have encountered a "This Application is for a previous version of Windows!"
message everytime I run a certain program.  

The program in question is SWP.C in "Windows PRogamming: An Introduction"
by Murray and Pappas".  The book, in general, sucks pretty badly, since
it claims that it supports Windows 3.0 (which it does in a roundabout
way) but most of the stuff for Windows 3.0 is blatant addenda.  Anyway,
after typing all the code for SWP.C in, I now get that message.  What
do old Windows programs do that new Windows programs don't so that
Windows 3.0 knows what is going on?  This is annoying, to say the very
least.

On two other notes, I thought that you would like to know that most of the
pictures in that book are of the MS-DOS executive and old Windows 2.1x 
throwbacks like it. 

Also, is anyone going to the big Windows 3.0 C++ by Borland roll out?  IF
so, could you please e-mail me your thoughts.  OR post them, possibly.
