porting

[ashok rajagopal]

while porting from 16 bit to 32 bit, some API functions do crib and need to be changed to their win32 counterparts to get rid of the warnings. But some others do not. Is is mandatory that all functions that have 32 bit counterparts must be changed ?

considder this, if you have a predefined function which takes a 16 bit argument, you and it's counterpart which takes a 32 bit argument, what would happen if you feed the 16 bit version a 32 bit argument, and the 24 bits of that argument are significant....

My guess is theres gonna be a buffer overrun at some point which you can't control.
