- I don't think there's *a* single book. I'd get:
-
- 1. Programming Windows by Petzold (duh!)
- 2. Borland C++ Techniques and Utilities by Christian
- (for the OWL discussion)
- 3. Using Borland/Turbo C++ 4.5 sp. ed. by Que
- (as a general reference)

- lets you run CodeGuard, and 4.53 is what you get after you
- install CodeGuard.
