Hello,

I am planning to learn programming for the MS Windows environment, and I was
wondering if Microsoft C 5.2 was the only compiler that supports this. In
particular, can I simply buy Quick C to program? Are there other third party
compilers?

I have the complete Turbo Languages (latest releases), but apparently I can't 
use these. I heard that one needs the Windows.H file, and one can only get 
that with MS C 5.1 or later. Is there a way around this?

Any comments and general pointers will be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Milan.
