Anyway, can you point me to where you got this code example?
[win32sdk]
ID: Q90493
I have a suspicion that this (and similar) code samples should probably
not be posted to this list; can everyone please snip their quotes of it. It
looks a bit copyright to me. So I googled the q number. Found it in a
couple of places.

Oh dear. Word-for-word copying of M$ proprietary source into an open
source project? TCSH-L added. I dunno what the status is of SDK source
code examples but it's certainly M$ copyright; someone should look at the
licensing terms.
Well, if this is Microsoft code, following applies to it:
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=%2fsupport%2fmisc%2fcpyright.asp>
And for Apple sources, there is also copyright notice that should follow
if it is used (as usually people do).
There's a different way of doing it, just frex. Opening a file and
reading a few bytes out of a couple of structs is something that can be done
in standard posix C without even breaking a sweat.
Surely. And it's far more efficient than done in 'M$'-way. Of course if
reason or another image format changes own hack needs to be updated,
M$-solution still works. (Or doesn't...)
