I think I understood the gist of your post to mean that this plugin will stop working soon unless I do 'something'. And that you're offering to help by providing some additional 'somethings' in calibrewinutil.

But, I'm afraid I have no idea exactly what you're asking for in the bolded bit. Can you ask it in layman's terms, please?

Are you asking which win32xxx modules I'm actually importing from and which specific parts of them I actually reference in the code? Or are you asking for something else entirely?

The problem I have is that most of this plugin's low-level win32 code was inherited 'as-is' from someone else's calibre Viewer TTS plugin. I presume they understood it. Unfortunately they're long gone and my understanding of the win32 stuff is minimal. I realise this isn't ideal ...
