   According to the notes in the C source code, it is inded a   
   longint. Also, I'm not using Delphi; I am using Borland Turbo   
   Pascal 7. The C code I originally posted is from a program   
   someone wrote in Borland C++ back in 1994. I'm trying to use   
   some functions from their C program for mine.
