That was true prior to OS 3.5. With 3.5, DmWriteCheck returns an error code, so it's
actually good for something.
But what is it good for? Turns out, not much.
DmWriteCheck only checks for the kinds of errors that programmers make. So it's
useful for debugging your app, but once your app is fully debugged this calling this
by itself is just a waste of time.
Since DmWrite does the same error checking anyway, users will be protected from buggy
programs whether you call DmWriteCheck yourself or not.
But maybe it gives you that extra feeling of security... :-)
