After laying out boards using 32016 32032 and 32332, I can claim that they
are definently NOT pin compatible:

	32016   40 pin DIP
	32032   68 pin leadless ceramic chip carrier 
	32332   84 (plus one locating pin) = 85 pin PGA (pin grid array)

However, the same code for the 32016 does indeed run on 32032 and 32332.
