I don't know where to find a copy as such (perhaps tucked away in the old
Microsoft FTP server, or linked to from a KB article?), but I do have a
couple of versions here, shipped with various old compilers. Probably the
more detailed file I have is came with the Win32 SDK shipped with Watcom
C/C++ 10.6. You may be able to find a copy of it on eBay, I guess. Another
version came with Borland C++ 4.51, in a self-contained .hlp file, although
this only seems to apply to Win32s 1.1 (the help file is dated 1992-1993).
According to http://wrc.gro.clinux.org/johnfindlay/lcc-win32/links.htm,
Borland used to have a copy of those help files on its FTP server. They no
longer seem to be there, but I've taken the liberty of uploading the old 1.1
programmer's guide to http://www.owenrudge.net/various/win32s.hlp. Note that
Win32s 1.1 didn't support things like OLE 2.0, MAPI, ODBC, etc (which later
versions of Win32s did, I believe), so getting the latest documentation
would probably be best.
Hope this helps,
