MORE INFORMATION
================

In addition to a description of the book's problems, this document might also
include sections labeled "Correction" and "Comments." Please note that the
"Correction" section is worded for correcting the book and does not necessarily
address the problem introduced by the book error. The "Comments" section
contains specific information for working around problems.

Page 203: WAIT_OBJECTS_0 Should Be OBJECT
-----------------------------------------

In the table on page 203, the WAIT_OBJECT_0 return value has an extra S.

Correction:

On page 203, change

        WAIT_OBJECT_0 to (WAIT_OBJECTS_0 _ cOBJECTS - 1)

to the following:

        WAIT_OBJECT_0 to (WAIT_OBJECT_0 _ cOBJECTS - 1)

Pages 207 and 208: == Used to Assign Values to g_dwTimes[]
----------------------------------------------------------

Pages 207 and 208 incorrectly use == to assign values to

        g_dwTimes[g_nIndex] and g_dwTimes[g_nIndex-1].

Correction:

The lines on page 207 and 208 which read

        g_dwTimes[g_nIndex] == GetTickCount();

  -and-

        g_dwTimes[g_nIndex-1] == GetTickCount();

should read as follows:

        g_dwTimes[g_nIndex] = GetTickCount();

  -and-

        g_dwTimes[g_nIndex-1] = GetTickCount();

Microsoft Press is committed to providing informative and accurate books. All
comments and corrections listed above are ready for inclusion in future
printings of this book. If you have a later printing of this book, it may
already contain most or all of the above corrections.
