The above isn't well worded.  You do not need the MS SDK because the
Borland C++ has a full set of Windows libraries built in.  In fact,
the Borland C++ compiler uses the same windows.h file that Microsoft
does, so the usual Windows API is available for use.

BTW, One could just use the Borland docs to create a Windows program,
but it would probably help to have other resources available
(just as is true for regular DOS-only programs).

>>Is anyone working on classes?

INFOWORLD has an article this week listing several (not just 1 or 2)
sets of C++ libraries for Borland C++ that do the kinds of things
that people here have been asking about.  Go read that article for
more details.
