+  * harbour/contrib/hbwin/win_prn1.c
+    * changed 7-th parameter of WIN_TEXTOUT() function to operate on
+      TA_* constant value instead of custom 0, 1, 2
+    * modified WIN_SETBKMODE() to return current BkMode setting when called
+      without 2-nd parameter
+
+  * harbour/contrib/hbwin/win_tprn.prg
+    + added BkMode member to WIN_PRN class
+    * modified TextOut(), TextOutAt() and TextAtFont() methods to use
+      nAlign as windows TA_* value instead of custom 0, 1, 2 and set
+      default alignment to ( TA_BOTTOM + TA_LEFT )
+    * formatting
