Never thought it to be too big trouble, but OK - I will have one more cleanup pass to rename them. Though at least one (owner()) will have to be replaced with 2 calls - getOwner() and setOwner(). > Another point is global usage of native ints inside artificial SLONG etc > types.

On my mind, at that moment our API will have to also support 64-bit integers, therefore I've used plain ints in interfaces. But if we decide that this is wrong - well, making API to use SLONG/ULONG is definitely not a big problem right now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xperia(TM) PLAY It's a major breakthrough.
