I don't see a problem. There are even people selling their proprietary
<body part(s)> for a profit. Rethorically, when is the last time ms.
C. Crawford answered my questions on the Internet? :-)
Really, there are quite some (good) resources on Windows programming
on the internet. With the availability of lcc, wingnuc/c++, rsxntdj,
IMHO the only steeple is not Windows' proprietaryness (sp), but its
horrible vastness, its horrible bugginess, and, in a sense, its
horrible popularity.
Bye.
DISCLAIMER: Programming for Win16 and Win32 does not *imply* I prefer
or like Microsoft or Windows. Honestly, I prefer apple pie! :-)
