/* Hack for PowerPoint
*
* Mail from PaulWa:
*
* --------
* Here's a problem you might consider fixing.
* Launching Media Player with certain keystrokes
* doesn't work right (e.g. arrow keys, page up/down,
* etc.).
*
* The problem is due to the fact that Media Player
* handles key up events. We use the key down event
* to launch the server in slideshow, but then the key
* up event is passed to the server. It would probably
* be best for Media Player to ignore key up events
* unless it had previously received a key down.
* If this is very difficult to fix in Media Player,
* then we can fix it in PP by launching servers on
* key up rather than key down. However, other container
* apps will see the same problem.
* --------
*
* OK, in the spirit of cooperation, let's hack things
* so our PowerPoint friends can carry on with their
* dubious practices.

/* The reason for requiring the following test is now lost
* in the mists of time. Now this app is 32-bit, these
* bogus timer callbacks (if they really do still occur)
* could be 16-bit, so we need to add yet more ugliness
* in the form of assembler to an app which is already
* hardly a paragon of pulchritude.
*
* A plea:
*
* If you add some obscure code such as below, to this or
* any other app, even if it has only the teeniest chance
* of being less blindingly obvious to someone else than
* it is to you at the time of writing, please please please
* add a f***ing comment.
*
* Respectfully,
* A Developer
