[]

Having spent much of the last month developing my first MS Windows
Application (a simple concordance program for the Hebrew and Christian 
Scriptures in the original languages), I am thoroughly impressed with
the theory behind Windows, reasonably impressed with the implementation,
and largely frustrated by the quality of the documentation and lack of
development / debugging tools.

Is there a forum somewhere on the net where Windows is discussed?  Are
other Windows developers out in net.land?  If there is not already a
Windows forum, is there sufficient interest to establish some type of
mailing list, etc. for passing information and questions.

I already know about Dial - the MS bulletin board service.  We have been
participating in it for a few weeks now, and must soon decide whether to
shell out the $300 to subscribe for a year.  Dial articles tend to be
bug reports and remedial documentation - very helpful, but also very
formal.  I am, however, also interested in informal discussion of 
programming experiences, things to watch out for, and helpful discoveries.

Peace,
