   Replacing integer type (int) by short type (short) in my 30 years old   
   sources from Eureka 2.12 doesn't work. GNU/GCC 3.3.6 16bits integer   
   type is suitable for 16/32bits machines like the ATARI ST, but GNU/GCC   
   4.2 and later don't have this 16bits int type. This is a cruel lack =(
