Um, I think you are mistaken. Integer is *always* 32-bits on either 32-bit or 64-bit target platforms. NativeInt is different sizes on different target platforms. I think LongWord also varies in size based on target platform, though not 100% sure on this one. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
