=============
Cap Gemini publications is pleased to announce the publication
of "Undocumented Windows: beyond the Microsoft reference",
a book + disk package by Tamura Jones.
The book, organized like a reference for both C and Pascal
programmers, provides practical information no professional
Windows developer will want to be without.
The three major sections list undocumented messages, structures
and functions. These three sections alone contain a wealth of
useful information not available anywhere else.
The messages section includes information on the Windows 3.0
and 3.1 drag & drop protocol. The structures section includes
structures for the Windows Write, Windows Calendar and Program
Manager group file formats. The functions section includes global
selectors & selector functions, Priority Queue functions, spooler
functions, Windows Network interface functions, descriptions for
functions not listed in the Turbo Pascal for Windows reference,
Lempel-Ziv decoding functions and more.
The major reference sections are complemented by useful tables
and short articles, 'notes', about such items as known bugs,
how to detect Windows from DOS, how to restart Windows like
Setup does, etcetera.
This publication is in print now, you can order your copy today.
The author is preparing a second edition and welcomes your
contributions.

From top to bottom (the 3,5" disk shutter is at the bottom):
0. One line of keywords identifying your subject.
Message, file, and function names are helpful, words like
"undocumented" and "Windows" and "information" are not.
1. Your name, address, city, state and country
as they should appear on an envelope.
2. Some white space or a line.
3. Your international phone, fax, and telex numbers, followed by
your email addresses. Please use the following prefixes and
separate lines if space allows (common 3,5" labels are fairly
large). Do not use "tel:" for either telephone or telex.
pho:, fax:, tlx: UseNet:, BITNET:, FidoNet:,
BIX:, CIS:, GEnie:, ZiffNet:.
Please type or print in plain 10-points Courier,
single line spacing, flush left.
Before mailing the disk:

source code
-----------
Do not hesitate to include example sources. Try to keep sources
short, sweet and to the point. Make sure the sources are complete,
compile under a default setup, compile flawlessly with all errors
and warnings enabled (author's default!) and use a minimum of
compiler directives.
we cannot confirm receipt
-------------------------
It is impossible for either author or publisher to confirm
receipt of any or every contribution. We can only provide these
suggestions to help make sure we receive your contribution disk;
write your return address on your envelope, use a padded or
reinforced envelope instead of a disk mailer, use sufficient
postage and send by registered mail.
All contributions become property of the author, who may use or
distribute any of the information you supply in any way the author
deems appropriate, without incurring any obligation whatever.
