Re: A few newbie questions
> Sounds very good. Where do you find documentation for using the C libraries?
Here's a link to the Win32 API help file. The Borland link in the
Archive keeps going down, so I put it up on my site.

The Include directory with Borland has all the .h files you'll ever
need for Windows C development. Its just a matter of reading it and
determinig the values you need. Also, look in the Archive for "Win32
API" or such, there's a lot of libraries the wrap the entire Windows
API so you don't have to type everything manually.

Borland 5.5 is free. It works great. Its what Rob uses to test
compatibility with Borland. Get it.

Not really. There will always be people maintaining something. I've
taken over xControls by Don Phillips (v2.0 coming soon!). Someone will
take over Win32Lib when Derek leaves. Heck, I just found out that
Chris Bensler was the original owner of the EUforum, not Robert Craig.
