the above doesn't seem correct... i've been watching and waiting for someone to 
catch it... i think one did but no one has followed up that...

here is the original from Dave Coventry

i see three int64's and one int32... it looks like marco's pint64 on the last 
line is incorrect and that maybe it should be pint32... this was actually asked 
about and it was noted that google was returning results for 32 pints of beer or 
such...

i would agree with this since it is more readable ;)

and it looks like here you did see and allow for 64bit on the first three and 
32bit on the last one...

and as long as CompLen is a DWORD, this should work... i think? or am i missing 
something on the higher up pint64 stuff??
