"Microsoft Windows Developer Information" is a new document which lists many 
of the resources available to software and hardware developers for the 
Microsoft Windows and Windows NT operating systems. Some are official
Microsoft resources, others are peer-to-peer resources. I wrote this document
to try and alleviate this class of commonly asked questions which people post
on the net frequently. The latest revision of this document is available at:

    FTP.Microsoft.COM:/drg/Developer-Info/devinfo.zip

and will soon be available on:

    CompuServe MSWin32 & WinSDK forums, library 1, devinf.zip

I will attempt to update it when I find new, useful information, or find 
errors in the existing one. Below is an outline of resources listed. The full 
document is about 20 pages. ASCII text format is available now, Word, RTF, 
and WinHelp versions will be available soon. Hope this helps someone.
