   1.  Given the obvious dangers with SetAbortProc records, why
       didn't Microsoft simply disable the feature in the Windows
       operating system altogether and come up alternate for 
       aborting printing of WMF files?  Why were all the inadequate 
       work-arounds in application code pursued instead?
