To be more complete, the Harris H-series uses 8 bit char, 24 bit short,
24 bit int, and 48 bit long. On top of everything else, the formats of
char pointers are different from all other pointers, and word alignment
is mandatory for everything but char, because the machine is (24 bit) word
addressable. I work on a Harris 700. Their other 2 product lines, the
Harris Station series (i.e. this machine) and the HCX-7 are 32 bit unix
machines.
