I haven't done this myself, so I don't know whether its possible or not.  My 
guess is that it'll work fine.

Two places to look:

1. Programming Windows 95 by Charles Petzold.  Costs about AUD$100 (probably 
cheaper elsewhere), but is worth the investment if you're planning on doing a 
lot of Windows programming.

You might consider buying a second hand copy of Programming Windows 3.0 or 3.1 
also by the same author, since they'll be a lot cheaper (since they're out of 
date).  I'm still using my copy of Programming Windows 3.0, and most of the 
stuff is still pretty accurate.

2. The samples included in the Platform SDK (mentioned in the RSXNTDJ docs).  
I've managed to get a couple of the simpler ones working (GDIDemo, 
MyPal and Reversi) with nothing more than makefile changes, but the DDE demos 
may also work without too many changes.  This is available at:
http://www.microsoft.com/msdn/sdk/
(you'll need to register before you can download).

Good luck with it!
Peter
