Attached is the full release for the access program for the win32-docs.zip downloaded from GitHub:
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/win32

This provides a way to use and access documentation (mainly the API Names) from the GitHub documentation effort off-line, and searchable.

The documents can be viewed in the .md format or in a .html format.  Searching is provided in the .md display, and of course intrinsically in the web browser viewing .html.

TimoVJL provided the code/method to search the win32 documentation for API NAMES from which I created a database and the rest of the program.  See readme_v4.txt, for other external source code attributions.

It is possible that the MD_Files_3.db3 could be expanded in the future to include all topics in the win32-docs.zip and that would not require changing the basic program to be immediately useful.  TBD

Sadly win32-docs have still a some problems and updates sometimes make more of them.

MS should make a checking code with or without AI.
MSDN xhtml isn't perfect for offline usage, as every documentations groups do things in their own way, so it is very messy for parsing.

Something went very wrong near year 2012.
May the source be with you
