Greetings everyone,

Is it possible to work with debug.exe (which comes with every MS os
that I know of) to create win32 programs? I know that debug.exe is
limited to creating 64k com files, and that windows programs probably
need this much for their headers and such. Still, I was wondering if
there was a way to use debug.exe to cut apart the important headers
off of existing win32 files, and use them as the headers for your
programs that you build with debug.exe

I'd like to be able to sit down at any MS-OS and start writing
programs. There aren't any default C/C++ compilers in these OS's like
there are in Unix unfortunately. I don't know if there is some
default preinstalled compiler/assembler that will natively compile
win32 code on a Win32 platform. Thank you for any help you can
provide. If this is the wrong newsgroup, please point me to the
correct one. Thank you.

    ... The Win32 API requires headers to have certain names, just like the C library does. ... Of course, you do need to invest a bit of work to get the compiler/preprocessor to recognize such an include chain, and you must take care not to trigger on just any old windef.h. ... Failing *that*, you could have your compiler differentiate between system header includes and just any old includes based on file system path and options, so that it knows when it's reading such a header file and should invoke non-conforming mode. ...
