    Indeed.
   The 'Visual' refers to the style of the Integrated
   Development Environment interface, which is very nice, but
   is not, in and of itself, a necessity in creating a Windows
   program.
   I would suggest, for API programming in Win'95, that the
   programmer might enjoy the availability of a copy of
      Programming Windows 95  -  ( The Definitive Developer's
         Guide to the Windows 95 API )
      by Charles Petzold   -   [ Microsoft Press ]
      ISBN 1-55615-676-6   $49US - $65Can - 46.99UK
   There are also API wrappers, such as OWL and MFC, which
   make Windows programming a great deal more fun.
