Version 1 of Win32

Updated 2003-01-06 05:05:16

Win32 is defined as a 32 bit interface to Windows. It superceeds Win16. Is the newest (unreleased) 64 bit version Win64 or just .NET?

Tk uses the Win32 API and MFC classes to draw on the screen.

 [elaborate on how it can be used for many other purposes and how Tcl uses it]

In the Microsoft newsgroups news://news.microsoft.com I (GPS) have noticed several people refer to Win32 as obsolete. Is it really obsolete now? Have they rewritten the core of Windows with C#? Should Tk be modified to use the new API?
