Fix 64bit crashes on Windows when building with Visual Studio 2012. LPARAM in 32bit mode is LONG, but in 64bit mode it is uint64... There were casts to LONG in several places that were getting truncated with the new version of the compiler (but not gcc or older versions).

-- Special notes for version 2.4 --
Version 2.4 is starting a transition to Unicode on OS/2. Warp 4 and 
later have fairly decent support for UTF-8 via codepage 1208, however 
there are some known input problems, which shall be worked around
in future versions.  For English or non-input applications Unicode
is the recommended version, however for applications that have not 
been converted to UTF-8 or which are experiencing input problems,
a non-Unicode version of the DLL is included.
