So...

We go happility writing code using functions listed in the Win31 sdk help
and using them in the beta versions and lo and behold...

We install the released version of Win31 and the function isn't there!

The function in question is GetTextExtentEx() which is listed as a
Win31 gdi call.  If you look at GDI.EXE in the released version it's
not there.

So...  It could be:

(1) turned into a macro that doesn't exist in the beta SDK that we have.
(2) omitted completely
(3) renamed to something else.

Can someone guide me please?  Are there any others I should no about?
