Without knowing exactly what you're doing, I think you may not need the
bitAND portion of the code.  If you're using the MS provided tables of
locales and/or languages, you only need to get either decimal or hex values.
In the localized projects I've worked on (sometimes 15 languages), this was
all that was needed to determine language and locale of a system.
