- Win32Proto is an example program built using MASM.
-
- This Win32 prototype program is an example of what can be done
- programming to the Win32 API using assembly language. Understanding
- what it does assumes that you have some good base knowledge and
- understanding of Win32 programming.
- If you do not, you might want to study a good introductory textbook
- about Win32 (Petzold's "Programming Windows 95" comes to mind.)
-
- The whole Win32Proto program could have been implemented in a single
- source file, saving many lines of repetitive text (mainly the base
- framework ahead of each .ASM source file).
-
- We instead chose to break the program into several separate modules,
- leaving as little code as possible in the main module, in order to
- demonstrate one possible way a large project could be handled to
- remain manageable.
-
- This small program is by no way ideal, and it can be improved in
- many ways.
- But just as it is, it can be used as a framework to start developing
- a "real" program.
-
- Finally, the WinProtoB.bat file contains the instructions needed
- to build the executable.
