Windowed graphics in Windows

[Lionel Pinkhard <lionelp@worldonline.co.za>]

Hey,

I've recently started programming Windows, after a few years of Dos and
Linux programming. At the moment, I can only code the console, and I would
like to start working with windows. Firstly, I would like to know -- How
do I create a window of a certain resolution? And how do I put simple
pixels into this window? My first attempt at programming Windows, is to
port a simple Dos game to Windows, without DirectX or any other special
tools (I still need to download DirectX anyway :-) ). I think my questions
are pretty clear, so I hope somebody can help me!

Caio,

Lionel
