I'm interested in developing programs for the PM. What's the minimum software
investment necessary to get started? I suspect you need the following:

1. MS-C 5.1
2. OS/2
3. some sort of SDK???
4. debugging tool(s)???
Also, what kind of hardware do I need? I have an 80386SX with 1Mb memory
and 40Mb hard disk. I know I need more memory, but how much more?Would
two displays be helpful? On a related note, what protected mode editors
are available that have good macro languages?
Thanks.
