I'd like to try programming in Windows 3.0, i.e., writing my own Windows
programs, so I bought the official Microsoft _Programming_Windows_ book,
but this book says that you must have Microsoft C version 6.0.  Now, there
is no way I'm gonna buy a new version of Microsoft C when I already have
Turbo C 2.0 and Microsoft C 5.0, so my question is, does anybody have any
experience programming for Windows in either of those languages.  Is it
possible?  Also, how much does the Microsoft Windows Software Development
package cost?  Is there any way to get the Windows library files without
buying this package?  Do you even need this package at all?  Is it possible
to program in a language other than C (pascal, modula, etc.).  If anyone
out there has programmed for Windows and knows what I'm talking about, I'd
like to hear from you.

Thanks in advance,
	Andrew.
