In reference to the suggestion to using

#define massively_long_name short

and then using

massively_long_name();, or
massively_long_name = 3;,

etc....

THIS IS A BITCH TO DEBUG, ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE DOESN'T READ
THE HEADER FILES.......

i.e., i printout the code above, have the hard copy next to me,
and call "adb" (how arcane!!) to figure out why massively_long();
causes "Memory fault -- core dumped".

To my suprise, massively_long_name() is NEVER called in the program.
Instead, all i see are short(), or worse xx3ef();...... ARGHHH!!!
If someone ever did that to me and I wasted time chasing it i would
KILL!!!

				From the world of adb,
