SUMMARY
=======

The Windows for Workgroups (WFW) SDK contains additional files that can be used
with the Windows version 3.1 SDK for WFW development. The WFW SDK includes the
following components:

- WFW SDK API Help file

- Header (.H) files

- Library (.LIB) files

- Sample code

- WFW debug binaries

- WFW WDEB386.EXE files (WFW kernel mode debugger)

The WFW SDK is available on the Microsoft Developer's Network (MSDN) Level 2 CD
set, beginning with the April 1994 edition.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The WFW SDK provides headers, libraries, and help for APIs in the following
areas (which are new with WFW):

- Networking:

   - WNet (connecting, browsing, sharing)

   - MNet (multiple-network driver interface)

   - Mailslots

   - Named pipes (asynchronous reads and writes)

- NetDDE (networked DDE)

- File Manager extensions

- Common controls

The following are the WFW SDK samples and what they do:

- MSLOT demonstrates the Mailslot APIs.

- NPCLNT16 demonstrates the asynchronous named pipe APIs.

- WFWAPI (in the NETAPI directory) demonstrates various WNet and MNet APIs.

- DDESHARE (in the NETDDE directory) demonstrates the NDde APIs. This is the
  source code to the DDESHARE utility included with the WFW Resource Kit.
