The Microsoft Windows developer's kit, put out by Microsoft, lists (I
believe) at $500. You must have a microsoft language, officially MSC 4
or later (QuickC won't do it), Pascal, or MASM. It comes with three
huge and rather complete manuals and takes up 5 3.5" disks.

I haven't used this product, only looked at the manuals, and this does
not constitute an endorsement!!!
