good tutorial on calling Win32 API from Intel Fortran?

[Deleted_U_Intel]

Is there a good source/tutorial available on programming using the Win32 API from Intel Fortran? I will not be doing GUI programming in Intel Fortran and nearly everything I've found that has tutorial information on the Win32 API from within Intel Fortran deals with GUI/Windows programming to the point of totally confusing me.

I am far more interested in the thread creation, event creation and timer/timing issues.

I am in the ugly throws of migrating over 100,000 lines of VMS FORTRAN code to Intel Fortran on a single-processor PC, and I have never done any Win32 programming. Lots of FORTRANand C programming experience, but none on a PC.

Norman Lawrence's "Compaq Visual Fortran: A Guide to Creating Windows Applications" is what you want. There is little, if any, in there that is not also usable under Intel Visual Fortran.

There's not really much to say on these topicsthat's different from C, so find a good book on using Win32 from C (such as "Win32 API SuperBible". There is some discussion of threads in the User Guide.

Start here and then drill down to "Processes and Threads:"
