     ::SystemParametersInfo( SPI_GETPLATFORMTYPE, kMax, sPlatform, 0 )

A comment in my code references 20 Jun 1999 note from Liza J Alenchery in 
this mailing list. My note also says she attributes Boling 1998 (I think 
that's the first edition of his book).

Another comment in my code:
     // From 4 Jan 2003 contribution by Tim Wilson to thread called
     //  "INF file for multiplatform setup" in 
microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer:
     //  Palm PC2 for Pocket PC
     //  PocketPC for Pocket PC 2002

Just in case:
