Hi, Vicenzo!

In the Cygnus page 
	http://www.cygnus.com/misc/

there's reference to a help page (FAQ) you should consult. 

Programming MS Windows is a little difficult :-), but you will find
some help in the page "Introduction to the Win32 Application
Programming Interface", at

	http://www.microsoft.com/WIN32DEV/APIEXT/INTRO32.HTM

Microsoft created this mess, so it should explain it. :-)

A complete "Hello Windows"  program is at
	http://www.relisoft.com/win32/winnie.html

that contains indications to an almost complete practical Windows
programming course.  A must read.

If we talk about books, Programming Windows 95, by Petzold & Yao, is 
still the best, as far as i know.

Not related to Cygnus Gnu-Win32 -- a. k. a. cygwin --, is the
excellent DJGPP FAQ, by Eli Zaretski et al.  Maybe you know that
DJGPP is -- like cygwin -- another implementation of GCC for the MS
world.  Actually DJGPP is for MS-DOS, but the FAQ has almost
everything you should know to compile a program under GCC -- or a
version of it. Please find it somewhere in 	

	http://www.delorie.com

Follow the (easy to follow) links in this site and you'll get there.
:-)


Best regards,
++Hilton
