Berkeley, CA, May 18, 1994 -- With the publication of Special Purpose API

tasks such as Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE), Object Linking and Embedding
(OLE), multimedia, security pipes, and much more.

In Special Purpose API Functions, programmers will find The API functions
organized by category for an easy overview of the subsystem. Full-length
programming examples in many chapters that illustrate how to use the
function. All special purpose API functions and subsystems, including
Multiple Document Interface (MDI), memory management, communications,
synchronization, and metafiles. Descriptions and explanations of the
various types and structures used by each function and full
cross-references to other related functions.

When Special Purpose API Functions is paired with Volume 2, General Purpose
API Functions, every Windows, Windows NT, or Win32 programmer will have
easy access and comprehensive coverage of all the API functions needed to
write effective and dynamic programs.
