Of course you need quite a bit more than just Borland C++ to develop Win 3
programs from scratch. Like the 3 MS Press Windows Programmers' guides,
at US$20 each, or at least some Windows API reference of some sort.
The MS books and the Petzold book are included with the SDK price that was
quoted. The OS/2 SDK (also mentioned) comes with 4 OS/2 programmers'
reference books and Petzold's(?) PM programming book.
