I did try to rebuild the application with a 32-bit compiler, but it
wasn't successful.  I tried to compile it without changing any code. 
The compiler complained about some typedefs already being defined, and
didn't like the "typedef BYTE huge *ptr" declaration used in many
files.  Another thing about this application that I didn't mention is
that it uses the C-SCAPE graphical library, and the compiler didn't
like some of the code in there either.  I have a feeling that it would
take a very long time to fix the problems associated with this.

Should I just rewrite the application in Win32?
