Ah yes, I see that now.

No. it is actually the calendar ID. If you look at the winnls.h file you
mention above under "Calendar ID Values" and you look at the possible return
values from LOCALE_ICALENDARTYPE under "Locale Information", they are
exactly the same. Don't ask me why the names are confusing. It seems that
LOCALE_ICALENDARTYPE should have been called LOCALE_ICALENDARID.

The Calendar Type values are actually explained, at least in MSDN, under a
topic called "Calendar Type Information", and refer to the values also found
in winnls.h under "Calendar Types".

Thanks for your help. I must remember to look at header files when the
normal documentation fails me. I am still unuse to seeing, after these many
years, explanations as comments in header files which I think I should find
in help files.
