Right Windows Language?

 Right Windows Language?

Greetings!

Is there a simple Windows programming language available which I can use to call routines from my DOS Forth program?

I simply need a Windows interface for data input and output. All of the number-crunching will be handled by routines in the DOS program.

Alternatively --- is there a tutorial somewhere on the web which compares and contrasts the available Windows languages, telling what they can and cannot do?
Thanks.

Sincerely,

Robert Tkoch

In what form does the input need to be, command line parameters passed to
the Shell function or ersatz keystrokes from SendKeys? Will the output go
to a file or will you need to scrape text from the DOS window somehow?

It's easier to do the comparisons yourself than it is to separate the
wheat from the biases. Look at Microsoft's early slams against inheritance
during the height of the VB vs. Delphi holy wars, but lo and behold, look
what's coming in VB7... inheritance!
