Yes. Thanx for the response, all nice people! Well, this is my own personal view, but I can freely say that if I had a choise I would prefer to target the project to a say Sun or Apollo, but that's out of the question for reasons to stupid to explain fully here.... I've used some time to browse through some books/articles, and it's obvious that the MS Software Development Kit is a must. There's a software review in Byte June '87, and a book by Durant/Carlson/Yao ("Programmer's guide to Windows", SYBEX, isbn 0-89588-362-7) that together gives a balanced view towards Windows programming. The library routines in the Kit uses the pascal calling convention, so it should be easy to interface them to a M2 compiler. Thanks to Alex who pointed out this. Now, the system I've refered to will probably use the Oracle DB, and that migth be another reason that speaks for using C.... But naturally I will do some prototyping in both C and M2 as soon as the Kit reaches my office. Stay tuned for the horror movie time when the prototyping starts.... The future's so brigth I can hardly believe it ... :-) Regards & Cheers; Bjoern. FROM Standards IMPORT Disclaimer;
