Tomasz Nowak's "Undocumented Windows NT" original .chm file about ntdll.dll

Various people were looking for the .chm version of the undocumented (when this .chm file was made) structures and functions in ntdll.dll for some reason. Well, I happened to find it; and as it turns out, the "Undocumented Functions by NTinternals" document (written by Tomasz Nowak) may be freely copied, modified, used, and distributed. I didn't determine why the .chm file was discontinued, although a number of structs and a few functions were missing (dead links in the .chm index), but I think it must have been due to T.N. dropping any further work on the .chm version when MSDN adopted DocExplorer and WinHelp2 for everything. I made an effort to fix the dead links if I could. About 6 have question marks now to show that a file should be there at the link but isn't, but the rest that were missing I managed to fudge. So the .chm has been recompiled with mostly the circa 2001 files, a few of what I think were probably newer files that didn't make it into the original version, and what I could bean myself. The file is at the following link, if you want to download it. The MSDN library version released in 2008 still doesn't have a few things documented that are in this .chm; and the Windows SDK doesn't have that info either, so it might be worth looking at. http://cqvis.yolasite.com/resources/undocNT.zip[^]
