1) GetTextualSid() is provided in MSDN's own examples, and keeps showing up 
in newsgroup postings, even from Microsoft MVPs.

2) ConvertSidToStringSid() is not available on NT

If you have ConvertSidToStringSid() available on your machine, you can 
certainly use it.

> Why do you use LocalFree?

Because I use LocalAlloc().  You can't use GlobalFree() to release memory 
allocated by LocalAlloc().  Microsoft's documentation even says as much:

    LocalAlloc Function
    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366723.aspx

    "It is not safe to free memory allocated with LocalAlloc using 
GlobalFree."

    Global and Local Functions
    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366596(VS.85).aspx
