I use ConText.  You can Google on ConText which should point you to the
web site.  However it doesn't run in the Windows command window.  Not 
sure what you're looking for...

Win32Lib is what I use.  Derek just put out a new version which I believe
still has a few outstanding issues.  Version 59.1 was VERY stable and I
expect the new version to reach the same level soon.  Don't know about
other libraries.  Also, the IDE by Judith Evans only works with Win32Lib.

Win32Lib has all that!
