John,
I don't know of any details about the Metaware /Pharlap tools that you
purchased. I would ask the companies directly. There are several different
approaches to getting started with the Win32 API's. The first is to purchase
the Win32 SDK and VC++/NT (When it becomes available). The second is to
purchase the OS and seperately obtain 3rd party tools. A catalog of products
for Windows NT is included with the purchased OS.
Thanks,
