Thanks, Charles.

Sorry, I forgot to mention the article that led to my earlier
question: http://www.unix.org/version2/whatsnew/lp64_wp.html
Perhaps it is just a propaganda piece, but I can't discern the difference.
I suppose there are many valid reasons to use LLP64 over LP64. Anyhow,
I am just being  curious and poking things with a stick rather than
implying any criticism.
