follow flutes? Damn, I am learning things about lemmings I didn't know :-)
Possibly the lemmings don't know these things either though. If you are
referring to the Pied Piper story, that was rats (and then children) ;-)

explicitly depends on it? ie. is there an example that can be cited

handle is actually a pointer, but in Delphi, it is declared as
LongWord. I have no idea if they could be a problem. I can als imagine
that code passing PChars in a DWORD parameter could be problematic.
I guess one would have to have Win64 installed, and do a lot of tests
to see if there are any problems. I don't have a 64 bit processor here.
