I will be breaking it into topic files rather than one monolithic one. Also,
I will be supplying HTML, CHM and MS-Word formats. This will be the focus of
next week's win32lib activity. Plus improving the information and quality of
the text. For example, the demo programs need much better documentation and
there should be links in the main docs to the appropriate demo programs.
