universal thunk
     
         a software mechanism allowing
        a windows 3.1 application to call a 32-bit dynamically
        linked library dll under win32s.
     
        the windows 3.1 application which wants to call an entry
        in a 32-bit dll instead calls a corresponding entry in a
        16-bit dll.  the programmer must also include code to
        detect whether the 32-bit dll is loaded.  a 32-bit exe
        loads the 32-bit dll.
     
        see also generic thunk, flat thunk.
