DOS based to Windows Programming
I have been developing embedded systems for many years in 'C' and developed a serial interface to our products thru a DOS based system many years ago. This DOS based system runs on WinXP and Win2000, but is a bit slow due to the slow BIOS conversions. It is time to convert over to a true Windows platform. Any ideas on what I should use? The DOS platform is written in true 'C', so I was hoping to reuse some of the software and just rewrite the drivers. That might be wishful thinking. I thought about Visual C++ 2005 since I might be able to reuse some of the code, but I'm not savvy in OOP. Can anybody give me any pointers/tips/options on which way to go? Thanks.

Go with VS 2005 and reuse all the code you can...

"The speed of non working code is irrelevant"... Of course that is just my opinion, I could be wrong. 
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."...Calvin Coolidge 30th President of the USA.
