Maybe somebody out there can help me.  In the SDK Reference - Volume 2,
the data structure BITMAPFILEHEADER has the field bfType, which is
described by: "Specifies the size in DWORDs of the file."  According to
Petzold's article in the 11 September 1990 of PC Magazine, the field
"specifies the size of the file in bytes."  I assume that Petzold is
correct, and not Microsoft.  Am I correct?
