To write programs for Windows, you need the following software
packages:
1. Microsoft Windows/286 or Windows/386 Version 2.00 or later.
2. Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) Version 2.00 or
later.
Note: The version number for the Windows package must match
the version number for the SDK, e.g. Windows 2.0x with SDK 2.00
or Windows 2.1x with SDK 2.10.
3. Microsoft C Compiler Version 4.00 or later, Microsoft QuickC
Version 2.00, or another compiler suitable for compiling Windows
programs.
4. Microsoft Macro Assembler 4.00 or later (for writing DLLs).
To run Windows and the Windows Software Development Kit, you need the
following hardware:
1. An IBM personal computer (or compatible) with a fixed disk and
640K of memory running MS-DOS Version 3.00 or later. (A machine
based on an 80286 or 80386 microprocessor with a fast fixed disk is
best.)
2. A graphics display and video board, preferably an Enhanced Graphics
Adapter (EGA) or Video Graphics Array (VGA). A Color Graphics
Adapter (CGA), Hercules Graphics Card or compatible, or an IBM 8514
can also be used.
3. A mouse (optional).
To debug with CodeView (CVW) you need the following:
1. 1.5 MB of LIM 4.00 expanded memory (2 MB or more is recommended).
2. Either dual monitors (the second of which is monochrome, the first
a CGA, EGA, or VGA) or a dumb terminal connected to COM1.
Note: In a dual-monitor setup, when the primary monitor is a CGA,
the Windows on the CGA is in monochrome due to resolution and the
monochrome monitor is in text.
Windows/286 can run under DOS or in the DOS compatibility box under
OS/2 on an 80286 or 80386. Windows/386 requires an 80386 where it can
run under DOS but not in the DOS compatibility box. Typing "WIN86"
(without the quotation marks) at the DOS prompt (or DOS box) initiates
a 80286 (not a 80386) session.
