Has C, C++, Java, Pascal, and you can cross-develop between Windows and Mac. Has all the Windows API files. If you are coming from DOS with no Windows programming experience, it will take a little up-front time investment to figure it all out, but then you'll be up and running with graphics, fonts, menus, dialog boxes and all that happy stuff. Go to metrowerks.com for more info. They have a student version ("introduction to programming" or something) that's under US$100. At least they used to. Great thing about CodeWarrior is it is written by a bunch of geeks/hackers who use it themselves (CodeWarrior is developed under CodeWarrior). They have mottos like "Blood, sweat, and code" and "Kicking butt and writing code". Gotta love it.
