I know the AWI offsets are listed in the newest SDK, but I couldn't find any variable sizes for them...is a vb6 "integer" the same thing as "unsigned integer", or would "long" be a better choice?

Similar, how about strings...such as "GLOB" - okay to use VBs "string" variable, or should it be a byte_array?

In C/C++ on a 32-bit PC an integer is 32-bits, as is a long. An unsigned integer is the same size. They have to be "short" to be 16 bit. In modern compilers 64 bit integers are also supported (long long, I think, or in MS compilers _int64).

I don't know VB.

I think VB users have enormous problems with strings, judging from all the questions and problems arising from that subject, so I would think you'd need to keep clear of them altogether. But, again, I don't know VB. I hope a VB expert will help you.
