-The Win32 and COM APIs available in this package are generated from metadata
-supplied by Microsoft. The metadata is in the form of an ECMA-335 specification
-file, generated from this repo: <https://github.com/microsoft/win32metadata>

 Not every API is projected.
 
-- For Win32 APIs, the JSON files prefixed with `win32_` in the `generator\data`
-  directory are used to determine which APIs to project.
-- For COM APIs, the `com_types.json` file in the `generator\data` directory
-  explicitly names the types that should be projected.

 During the build process, you should call `generate.cmd` from the project root
 to instantiate these types and generate the classes from them, for example:
 
 ```terminal
-C:\src\win32> tools\generate.cmd
+tools\generate.cmd
 ```
 
 This tool will also test both the generation library and the generated output
 with unit tests.

 This folder also includes a few other small utilities of limited usefulness.
 
-- `build.cmd`. Generates EXE files for some of the Dart samples.
 - `struct_sizes\struct_sizes.cpp`. Measures the size of structs in
-  structs.g.dart on 64-bit architectures so the appropriate unit tests can be
-  generated.
