   I disagree. I always considered 16 bit integers too small for   
   a computer as modern as the ATARI ST having loads of ram.   
   (1966 mainframes are my objects of reference where ram was payed   
   by the kilobyte).   
      
   That's why I replaced all occurences of int in AHCC and its libraries   
   by short and created the sinclude folder of header files.   
   Still works like a charm.
