Hi Alain,

You are correct, the function returns a dword value, which is also the
length of a VB6 long.

Integers in VB6 are equivalent to C++ signed shorts (16bit), I believe.

In my experience there is no benefit in using integers over longs in VB;
they will be padded into dwords in the background anyway, as the size is
managed with less hassle in IA32.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Yiannis
