For those UNIX programmers and computer science students grudgingly or otherwise accepting that Windows has taken over as the computer platform of choice, Hart (Peritus Software Services and consultant) provides a guide to the essentials of Windows 95, Windows NT, and Win32 system programming. He probes the mysteries of: the Win32 file system and character I/O, direct file access and attributes, structured exception handling, memory management, security, process management, interprocess communication, threads and scheduling, Win32 synchronization, dynamic link libraries, asynchronous I/O, performance results, and Win32, UNIX and C library comparisons. Includes notes on using the sample CD-ROM programs and, unusual for computer books, a bibliography. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
