This repository contains my first real experiments with programing whole program using 16-bit Windows API.
Simple C++ project, being experiment with 16-bit Windows API made to understand how to create simple Windows applications without any Rapid Application Development IDEs such as Delphi, Lazarus or Visual Studio. And 16-bit, because I always wanted to create some programs for Windows 3.11 without Delphi 1 (so in different language than Pascal). ;-)
The code provided here was made to compile using Open Watcom IDE, which is quite good for modern MS-DOS/WfW3.11 development. It's possible that it would compile using old Microsoft compilers, but I haven't tested it. It's best to use Watcom for it.
I've made much effort to provide here working and checked codes with hope it will be useful. However, these codes are provided here "AS IS", with absolutely no warranty! I take no responsibility for using them - DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!
Codes provided here are free for personal use. If you like to use any part of these codes in your software, just please give me some simple credits and it will be okay. ;) In case you would like to make paid software and use parts of these codes - please, contact me before.
