I tend to #include a file "Compiler.h" which, for THINK C, contains:

        typedef int Integer;
        typedef long Longint;

and then I use Integer and Longint (i.e., the Pascal names for the 2 and 4
byte integer types) in my code.  To port to a different language you
change Compiler.h, not your code.
