- Probably the best way to start out the port of the code is:
-
- 1. Set the STRICT flag and get the code to compile without warning
- messages on the /W3 level.
-
- 2. Read the documentation for "windowsx.h" and start using the
- "message cracker" macros instead of the normal "switch" statement
- in your message loop.
-
- When you've done these two things, and you can build your application for
- Windows 3.1 without warnings. the port to Win32 should be a straighforward
- process.
