Alas, 140Meg of SDK does not seem to include the standard windows include files? looks like they only have the basics ...math.h conio.h etc, but no windows headers?
Maybe I'll have to try another compiler I'm not so sure I won't end up having to buy something to get where I want with microsoft. I believe Watcom is now free and they had windows compatibility, but I'm guessing that will probably mean buggerizing around with flags if they differ from compiler to compiler (crosses fingers they don't)
