CONTENTS OF CODE DISK
WINDOWS TECH JOURNAL
PREMIERE 1992

Welcome to Windows Tech Journal, the magazine of tools and techniques for
Windows programmers. This disk contains source code files to accompany the
articles and columns printed in our premiere issue.

Files are collected in subdirectories. For instance, all of the source code
files for Richard Sadowsky's article on accessing NetBIOS in Turbo Pascal for
Windows are collected in the DPMI subdirectory.

We've also provided a ZIPFILES subdirectory; it contains the contents of the
other directories, PKZIP'd by article.

Here's what you've got:

DPMI:        Source files to accompany Richard Sadowky's article on
             accessing real-mode TSRs and device drivers from protected
             mode Windows applications via DPMI. The code's in Turbo
             Pascal for Windows, with liberal use of inline assembly.

PETZOLD:     Source files (in C) to accompany Charles's "How Visual
             Basic Made Me a Better C Programmer." The simple apps are
             supposed to show VB's influence on Petzold's coding style.

LEVARO:      C source for Richard Levaro's "A Perfect Fit," an article
             on writing custom controls. This code implements two new
             controls for Windows programmers; the more interesting is a
             toolbar.

SHAW:        Source files (in C++) from Richard Hale Shaw's "The Virtual
             Column." This month, Richard provides a set of classes to
             encapsulate the complexity of DDE communications. The code
             uses DDEML, a DLL distributed with Win 3.1 but compatible
             with v. 3.0.

Q&A:         Short WinWord Basic code for accessing environment variables
             without opening a DOS box.
