	Almost, the LP prefix means it's a long pointer to a BITMAPCOREHEADER, so
just alter your Stuctures.h to read :

typedef struct tagBITMAPCOREHEADER {
  DWORD   bcSize;
  WORD    bcWidth;
  WORD    bcHeight;
  WORD    bcPlanes;
  WORD    bcBitCount;
} BITMAPCOREHEADER, far *LPBITMAPCOREHEADER;

	You don't actually need the 'far' in there if you're targeting 32-bit, but
it's safest just to have it in there anyway.
