I'm interested in getting into Windows programming.  I currently own
Turbo C 2.0.  I have heard that an upgrade to C++ would cost only $99.
I have also heard of Actor 3.0 being available for $99 through April 1st.
My intentions are to learn windows programming and possibly create
shareware.  I am tight on cash so SDK is pretty much out of the question
for now.  Any comments?  Any comparison between Actor and C++?
Should I wait (possibly till mid or end of summer) to buy?  Any other low 
cost options?  ANYTHING on the subject would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Christopher White
