Keywords: BC++,MS-SDK Message-ID: <1991Apr17.175343.16818@athena.mit.edu> Date: 17 Apr 91 17:48:52 GMT Sender: news@athena.mit.edu (News system) Reply-To: maurik@irene.mit.edu Organization: MIT - Lab for Nuclear Science Lines: 11 A question from a novice to Windows programming: What does the SDK from Microsoft do that Borland C++ doesn't ? Or is there no reason to spend money on the SDK if you buy BC++ ? I have the MS C600, which is a good compiler (although not C++, but I don't see the need for that yet), so to get started with windows programming, what would you recommend, MS-SDK or BC++ ? Thanks for the attention, Maurik.
