Heh, if the CRT really returns a long from the get OS handle function, then
its typed wrong. :)
For Win32 sizeof(HANDLE) == sizeof(long), that isn't the case for Win64.

Bill,
	Your code is a far better solution.

> B)	The -1's below really should be: INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE

	Check with the implementation and MSDN you will see that
	the return type is long and the error condition is -1.
	INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE is not of type long and will give
	a compile warning C4047.
