Kevin Campbell says to Bert Byfield
 BB> Does Windows compiling require a Windows compiler?
 KC> Yes.
I can compile a Windows program in the DOS IDE of Borland C++ 3.1. Ok, I'm
cheating, you still do have to have the Windows headers, libraries and OWL,
etc. installed. 
Basically, you can compile a Windows program from the DOS command line too,
without Windows even running. But like I say, it needs to find the Windows.h
and other (if needed) headers and the Windows .LIB file(s) and memory models.
So, you are right, but I thought I'd mention that one detail.
