I have been training myself to use long instead of int in all my 'C' programs
lately, but I agree with Matt in a lot of ways. I do not care
if my Amiga software ever runs on another machine - there just aren't any 
around today that I even care about besides the Amiga.  So if the Amiga is
where all software is going to be ported to, why worry about things like 
16 bit or 8 bit machines and their LIMITATIONS?  The main remaining question
is whether this style of software will be difficult to get running on the
A-5000 (or whatever) that will be available in 5 years.
