PlatformSupport.dll and Windows 95/98

           Summary: PlatformSupport.dll and Windows 95/98
           Product: XalanC
           Version: 1.3.x
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 9x
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: XalanC
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: egersdorf@kadel.cz


I found, that application XalanTransform.exe with 3 parametrs is not running on 
Windows 98 (my friend said, also on win95). Error message is "Error writing 
file: C:\whatever. The error code was 6."
Reason is, that PlatformSupport.dll is not able to create output file. In 
XalanFileOutputStream.cpp line 96 is checked return handle from CreateFile() 
with filename in Unicode. In case of error (on this OS all the time), there 
should be -1 (INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE), but on Win 98 there is 0! It's bug in 
Windows I think, but result is, Xalan is not working.
Solution can be simple:
if (theFileHandle != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE && theFileHandle)
