I hope the Megamax people get this - the latest draft of the ANSI C Standard
makes it very clear -

	variables declared "short" must be at least 16 bits long

There are a lot of other requirements expressed as limits, but essentially,
chars must be at least 8 bits, shorts 16 and longs 32 bits in length.
I hope Megamax fixes this one glaring lossage in their implementation.
