i think it is a convenience constant... i searched uncle google for 
"INVALID_FILE_SIZE" and found these... i spent at least an hour early this 
morning rummaging to try to find out what i could about it...

https://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=MSDN+INVALID_FILE_SIZE
then click on the "Search instead for MSDN INVALID_FILE_SIZE" link because the 
thing wants to take out the "_" chars :?

here are some of those links returned...

FWIW: the delphi code i'm wanting to convert uses it in numerous places... it 
seems to be a(nother) winwhatever const value...
