  ReleaseDC( hWnd, hDC )-> <lSuccess>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 PARAMETER:

  <hWnd>        Is the handle that identifies the window whose DC is
                to be released.

  <hDC>         Identifies the device context to be released.



 RETURNS:

  <lSuccess> is TRUE if the function is successful



 DESCRIPTION:

  The ReleaseDC function releases the given device context, freeing it for
  use by other applications. The application must call ReleaseDC for each 
  call to GetDC(). 
  The effect of ReleaseDC() depends on the type of device context. It frees
  only common and window device contexts. It has no effect on class or
  private device contexts.
