Comments

SFTTABS_DWORD_PTR defines a type large enough to hold a DWORD or pointer value.

On Intel 32-bit platforms (IX86), a DWORD and pointer value have the same size (4 bytes). The SFTTABS_DWORD_PTR type was introduced to support 64-bit platforms, where a DWORD and a pointer do not have the same size.

In earlier releases of SftTabs/DLL, certain fields were defined using the generic type DWORD. These have been replaced with SFTTABS_DWORD_PTR, where a pointer or DWORD value needs to be saved.
