Aside from warnings, one reason for my patch was to allow this to

OK, I overlooked something. I first made the HTML patch using the
htmHelp.h and htmlHelp.lib
provided by the Html Help Workshop. But when I found out that you only
have to call a Hh.exe
I thought it would be better to make the compile inot dependent on
this, and provide my own
code to do it. I did want to keep the originl data type for
HtmlHelp(), though, becase in
future versions of Windows HtmlHelp might be so standard that it gets
defined in windows.h
like WinHelp() apparently is now, and then we could simply switch back
to it by deleting
my code for HtmlHelp.
The htmlhelp.h did contain the definition with DWORD_PTR, and since it
did not raise any
complaints from the compiler I assumed it was a standard Windows type,
but what I overooked
was that it was redefined it earlier in the file:
// Defines for Win64
#ifndef _WIN64
#define DWORD_PTR DWORD
#endif
