last time I looked all the standard functions on the Amiga expect 32 bit
integers. Have you got some variant of Wait(), AllocMem(), and so on that
work differently?

So, for that matter, do all the standard Aztec functions in the 32 bit
integer library.

I use +P. I don't see any point to using anything but until you have a
known performance problem. After all, Aztec +P is still faster than Lattice.

Most of my programs spend most of their time Wait()ing anyway.
