No correction needed, that is correct.

Not true!!!!!!!!


And believe me, I know - I based my recently announced Snuz on this. This stuff
contains tons of unportable assumptions (i.e. sizeof int == sizeof char * 
== 2) (much of it totally unrelated to the clearly machine-dependent
interrupt stuff). It also has things passed as ints from one module
to another module that expects a char *. The proper header files
are frequently left out. The documentation is poor.
