The latter documentation is for Visual Studio .NET, but I think we are 
primarily supporting Visual Studio 6.0 (at least when using msvcrt.dll) so I 
think it should be "long". It could be conditionally changed to intptr_t 
when using later versions of the C library, but in cases where it matters 
(64-bit Windows), I believe intptr_t would be a typedef for "long" anyway, 
not "int".
