Tommy Carlier's win32dib library problem

Hi,

I have been experimenting with the key function in this library: newDib() and
am having no luck.  According to the documentation the handle to the new
bitmap file is the first item in a returned sequence.

[Begin docs quote]
Creating and deleting a bitmap

A Win32Dib-bitmap is a sequence of length 7:

* dib[DibHandle] is the bitmap handle (integer) you can use in
    Win32Lib-routines.
    * dib[DibMemory] is the address (atom) of the memory block of the bitmap.
    * dib[DibWidth] is the width of the bitmap in pixels.
    * dib[DibHeight] is the height of the bitmap in pixels.
    * dib[DibBytesPerLine] is the amount of bytes per line of the bitmap.
    * dib[DibBytesTotal] is the total amount of bytes of the bitmap.
    * dib[DibPadding] is the amount of bytes of padding after each scanline. 
[End docs quote]

However, the first item is actually a huge number -- an atom.  It causes
a type-check failure.  As far as I know, I have the latest version of the
library.

Tommy..?  Or anyone get this to work?
