arg. This is what I get for not drinking coffee in the morning... that, and I've been spending too much my time in c#, where long is 64 bits.
Most of the APIs do use (a variant of) long all over the place, which is indeed 32 bits. I was thinking of things like SetFilePointerEx which takes a LARGE_INTEGER (64 bit for offsets) knowing that 64bits is plenty enough for file sizes, I think we should standardize on __int64 where we can.

You mean long long? Long doesn't cut it.
