I'm not sure on this.  I didn't have time to patch/build everything,
but I extracted the code which did modes and printed them to the
screen, and it gave 2 for handles 0..3 and 1 for handle 4 (it didn't
fail getting sft).  The difference in value may indicate it actually
works on Win2K.

(I've been very busy the last few weeks, so have been lucky to even
read email, much less act on it)
