Hi,
I just downloaded/installed GCC from MinGW ... worked beautifully.
I downloaded a small Windows C++ source and executable example from
http://www.cplusplus.com/src/. The .exe works fine. The .cpp
#includes a windows.h header.
Is there a publicly available Win32 version of windows.h?
windows.h includes lots of other .h files, so you need much more. Get the
free SDK here:

Hi Scott,
Thanks for replying. It's nice to hear from an expert.
I'm a retried Widows applications developer (Oct. 2001), but I'm
getting the itch to start programming again. After I posted my
question, I realized I should just hunt on my system, because I've
got Visual Studio 6 installed (and VS.Net, which I never used
seriously.)
Go with VS.Net (2003 or 2005). You don't have to use the .NET stuff,
