Yes, there are big differences. The 'original' Win32Lib was written by
David Cuny, and he has since dropped support. Derek Parnell has taken
over with the 'New' Win32Lib. David still receives credit, since he
wrote the original, but much if the internal code and support has been
updated.

As far as Windows programming differences, there are many. The old
Win32Lib did not support as many controls as the new Win32Lib does.
Also, the New Win32Lib is more stable with less (if any) memory leaks,
which Win32Lib often suffered from. The New Win32Lib takes a few
different approaches to programming Windows, not just the "control =
create(...)" scheme, but with newUIObj() and loadForm(), etc... Read
the docs for more information.
