I need to learn programming under Windows, and in the bookstore they've
got 2 shelves of books.  Can anyone give me a recommendation as to which
are any good?  Also, I need a book that describes the file formats of
Lotus, Dbase, Reflex, and Symphony.  I found 2 books, each of which has
2 of the formats I need.  Is there a book with all 4 of these in it?

My background.  I am pretty good with C, 8086 assembly, MS-dog, unix.
If the book insists on teaching me all about bits, bytes, and booting
my pc it's probably too basic for my needs.
