    From Harry Potter@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jan 2 08:33:16 2021
    Where online can I get a tutorial for Win16 programming via C? I have OpenWatcom C v. 1.9.

    Anything by Charles Petzold, before about 1995. For example:

    Does it have to be online? Charles Petzold's _Programming Windows 3.1_
    was what got me started way back when, and he's been updating it ever
    since. If you stay away from newest API calls, you can write perfectly
    capable programs that compile and run under both Win16 and Win32.
