CONTI32.LIB is a performant
software meant for easily solving those programming
problems whose solutions in C, C++ and API interface
require advanced programming knowledge or classes and objects which do
not always fit.
The library has gradualy
developed, including a set of functions and global variables which
proved to be useful in fast and performant solving of most of the problems
raised by windows manipulation.
The library was written
in low level C, intimate to WINDOWS (full 32 bits) and
DOS systems in order to provide a high performance
of the executable files which where written in
C or C++.
The resulting programs are "stand alone", so, they
do not need other components to be able to run under other WINDOWS full
32 bits platforms.
The library provides a simple,flexible and
easy to use interface, similar to BASIC,without decreasing the power of
C language and WINDOWS API (Win32) interface.
So, the WINDOWS full 32 bits applications programmers
may focus on their programs, being released by those system problems solved
by CONTI32.LIB.
Using CONTI32.LIB, WINDOWS full 32 bits programming
becomes accessible even to those who do not know WINDOWS API (Win32) or
OWL libraries.
