   I was so wrapped up in making my point about the differences between   
   standard named types and the  typedefs that I failed to notice   
   he was using the wrong specifier for unsigned long. You're right, it   
   should be "%lu".   
      
   On a different point, I used time_t as an example. It would have been   
   better to use ptrdiff_t instead, since  has a macro for that   
   type, and doesn't have one for time_t.
