I have to add a little flame here on Apple's DTS job on that technote,
though.  Usually, DTS has been very good about including both C code
as well as Pascal.  I recently used AppendDITL, but had to translate
it from Pascal to C which was a nightmare dealing with all the
dereferenced handles and pointers and pointers to dereferenced handles.
If you looking in the comments to AppendDITL, it says something
to the extent of 'Originally written in C and translated to Pascal'

COME ON DTS!  If it was originally written in C, why didn't you at
least include the C code for it as well!

But all the same, thank you for a VERY handy routine...
