Well, a C_LONG is the same as a C_INT and that should work fine.  Bernie
mentioned that a boolean value is a C_SHORT.  These constants essentially
define how data is stored in a way that C understands.  A Short integer is
16-bits while a Long integer is 32-bits.  So defining the return value as a
Long will work, it's just overkill. (Of course, only one bit is required to
determine True or False so using a Short integer is also overkill.)

These values should be defined in DLL.E in your INCLUDE directory (dll.e is
included by win32lib.ew).  What version of Euphoria are you using?  Perhaps
an older version of DLL.E did not define C_SHORT?

Either way, as long as it works...  I'm glad to hear that you might find my
example useful after all!
