  True (this Ive done for most of the types), what I was more interested in
and didnt ask about too clearly was the range of values that each type
can have and whether or not the default for that type is signed or
unsigned.  This can be done by simply looping but I dont want to wait for 
the program to dump or cycle around.  Anyone know the default ranges 
for the pointers, enum, single, comp, float, long float, double, and long
double as well as their default characteristic??
