MORE INFORMATION

The Professional Edition of Visual C++ includes everything from the SDK that shipped with C/C++ version 7.0, with the following exceptions:

• The Dialog Editor (DLGEDIT.EXE) and Image Editor (IMAGEDIT.EXE) are not included. The functionality of both of these tools is provided by App Studio in Visual C++.
• CodeView for Windows (CVW) version 3.07 is not included. An updated version of CVW, version 4.1, is shipped with Visual C++.
• The LIBENTRY.ASM and LIBENTRY.OBJ files used for building dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) are not included. Code that provides the same functionality is included in the Visual C++ DLL (dynamic-link library) run-time library. This is mentioned in the README.WRI file shipped with Visual C++.
• None of the SDK help files in QuickHelp format are included because QuickHelp (QH.EXE) is not shipped with Visual C++. All of the SDK help files are included in WinHelp format.
• The Setup Toolkit is not included.
• The RAINBOW sample is not included although it is described in the online help for the SDK samples. This is mentioned in the README.WRI file shipped with Visual C++.
• The following text files are not included:
