[fpc-pascal]Missing Win32 API Function -- Part 2

Thanks for the reply...

EnumPrinertsW is the unicode version of the function? I wasn't aware of 
that. I'll make this change.


> 2. You call the function from wrong library - correct is 'winspool.dll'

I don't have winspool.dll anywhere on my hard drive, but I do have 
winspool.drv. I used my editor to look inside that file and found 
winspool.drv has EnumPrintersA as a function. When I use that everything 
seems to work properly. I'm using Win2K.

I added this, but it didn't seem to make any difference. I also checked 
both the Win32 API Reference and the FPC docs, but there's not a whole lot 
of info on stdcall. What does it do?


> 4. API functions don't return Booleans but Bools

I checked the Win32 API Reference and the FPC docs for bools as well, but 
there's nothing mentioned. What's the difference between the two?
