PRB: LoadStringW Returns NULL on Windows 95 and Windows 98

RESOLUTION

   // Called as follows: If IDS_TEST is the string you wish to load and
   // WCHAR Buffer[128] is your buffer, the call would be
   // MyLoadStringW(IDS_TEST,Buffer,128);
   // If it succeeds, the function returns the number of characters copied
   // into the buffer, not including the NULL terminating character, or
   // zero if the string resource does not exist.
