Hi -

All references to HARBOR_MERGE can be safely removed. These were just
placeholders and there was a 'procedure' which we tried to follow when
checking in modules.

As for WINDOWS_ONLY, be careful. In 90% of the code, removing this define
is OK, however there are some cases (they escape me at the moment) where
WINDOWS_ONLY is used in place of WIN_NT (which is generic for all Windows
platforms).

I have to agree with Paul, this is an excellent arrow to have in our
quiver. An attempt should be made to update the Dll to 32bit.
