>Hi,


Greetings.


>I have some question to start using gnu-win32

>1) How can I use the files of the directories \gnuwin32\b18\info and
>\gnuwin32\b18\man ?


Port man or one of the info file readers.  I suggest grabbing B19 and the
B19.1 update DLL before doing any port work, though.

>2) Where can I find examples of C++ sources using Win32 API calls ?


http://www.microsoft.com/msdn/  They have examples.  You will also want to
look for the Win32 SDK, it's a free download.  C++ sources are rare as C++
is slow and not as popular as C for Win32 development.  C++ people generaly
use MFC, but that is very much tied into VC++.

>3) How can I download all the html files for the documentation ?


Sslurp or some other mirroring tool should easily grab the entire website.

>4) How can I download all the archives files (1997, 1998) of this mailing
>list ?


See above.


>thank you very much


No prob.
