Yes, I will (am).  Could everyone chill out please? :)

I misunderstood the first post to be asking about the platform
specific differences in sizes of "int", etc.  That was the basis of my
reply.  I didn't mean to imply he was stupid and hadn't read the docs.
I was just pointing to the location of the specs in case he handn't
checked them.  It's all been straightened out between myself and the
original poster.

HAPPY holidays, everyone!
