A couple of quick comments. Last time I looked all the old docs were still available in MSDN and MSDN on-line in the Archive.
C# is the "native" language of ".net" Microsoft invented it because it fell out with sun over Java. I think its more like java rather than c++ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Macklin Sent: 16 May 2008 14:27 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [soft_radio] Sound Card Interface? In about 1989 I started using Microsoftes C Ver2 and I had every version up tot he first C++ Ver 7. I still have the disk set for C++ Ver 7. At one time I had the SDK for it also. That was in 1995. I have learned to live with MFC but I don't have a clue what C# is. I gave up on keeping up with Microsoft. That's why I am still running W98! I spent a week interviewing at Microsoft in November 2000. After being jerked around for a week I told them I didn not need to work in the pressure cooker!

No but if you have an older (1998-2000) copy of MSDN it installs as help for VC++6 and covers the Win32 API ... when I bought the book, it included a 2 year free MSDN subscription ... in the NEW book I seen a month ago, I looked and the MSDN was not included but it is available on the web ... the new (if it exists for download) MSDN would be infected with MFC and C# and in my opinion be useless Jim KI6MZ > > Bob Macklin > Seattle, Wa. > > */Jim Hutchinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:jhut%0d%0a%20ch17%40adelphia.net> net>/* wrote: > > > > Bob Macklin wrote: > > I have been trying to learn how the sound card interface works. > > > > I use VC++ Ver 5 because it was the last version I bought brfore I > > retired.
