Ah, this may be a moot point since I'm new to Palm programming, but doubles
are SUPPOSED to be 8bytes. That's the whole point: they're 64-bit IEEE
floating point values. The C data type float is 4bytes (32-bit IEEE
floating point).

Warning: if you set the size of your ints to anything other
than the default, you may create incompatibilities with the
PalmOS API -- it is expecting them at the default size.
