Okay.  PC LW is a 32-bit program.  Where did you hear otherwise?

Bill Gates didn't invent thunks, although Windows certainly uses them.
Windows programs explicitly create thunks with MakeProcInstance() when
installing callbacks, usually for window procedures.  This is just a
layer of indirection that allows programs to move around in memory.
It's not a Satanic plot.
