RE: Problem with Win32Lib

I think the better way would be to fix Win32Lib. After all, all of 
Windows 95 shouldn't be excluded because of one function, especially since 
this function is unnecessary. It should be replaced by a call to 
GetWindowLong(). The second parameter should be GWL_STYLE, which is -16 (I 
don't think this constant is defined in Win32Lib, which could be why Derek 
didn't use it.)
Replace the line:
        lFlags = getWindowInfo(id, {WINDOWINFO_Style})
        if and_bits(lFlags[1], LBS_MULTIPLESEL) != 0 then
with:
        lFlags = w32Func(xGetWindowLong, {getHandle(id), -16})
        if and_bits(lFlags, LBS_MULTIPLESEL) != 0 then
and change lFlags to an atom instead of a sequence.
Now, no need to upgrade from Windows 95 (unless you want to.)
