- Yes, it's perfectly possible to create fully fledged windows programs
- using 'normal' c. I created a windows program for a college project
- using Borland C++ 4.0 but without using any of the C++ features. A good
- text to help you get started is Developing Windows Applications with
- Borland C++ 3.1 (2nd ed.) by James McCord, published by Sams (1992).
- Part 1 of this book deals purely with the C end of things.
