If I'm misunderstanding, just ignore this.

Did you just want a C compiler that runs under 3.0, or something that will
compile windows applications?  MicroSoft Quick C, I think, will compile
windows applications.  It's not shareware, but can be had for $100-125 if
you shop around.  Better than $500, if you're on a budget.  The next problem
is getting a copy of the Software Development Kit.  I got one free (with
paid membership) for joining a certain users' group, since MicroSoft had donated
a number of them to the organization.  A search of local classifieds may
turn up someone who is willing to sell you an SDK for perhaps $100-200
(some person who bought it then realized it was a lot of work to do win
aps).  Keep your eyes and ears open.  Bargains will appear for the alert.
Good luck.
