  Again, maybe I am missing a point - I don't know anything about a SDK
  and maybe my type of programming is just very simple. However, what I
  did is I bought a book on the win95 API, and started coding/compiling
  right away. Every API function seems to be provided in the rsxntdj 
  package so what do I need more? As I have never used Borland or MS 
  compilers, and only use to program for unix/X/Motif etc, I don't know
  if I am missing something but it doesn't like it and I am already
  quite happy with it... And so, rsxntdj *is* self-contained and I think
  it's great.
