I posted a few days ago, wondering about the LOWORD for the ternary GDI mode
whose HIWORD is 0x99.

The only answer I got was from a Microsoft person, who told me to look it
up in the SDK. 

Yeah, well, I wouldn't have asked if I had the SDK.

However, I have just seen "Bodyguard" for the second time (Whitney Houston
is too good for words). So, feeling happy and generous, I will share a pearl
of wisdom: 0x99 would mean NOTXOR; SRCINVERT does a XOR; to get a NOTXOR
you must first invert your bitmap and *then* SRCINVERT. Child's play.

Now, if I only could figure out how to do FloodFills on a Laserjet...
