I disagree with this. Sure, when you use Palm supplied/supported functions,
by all means use their types. But in order for your code to be as efficient
as you want, use literal ints. There's a reason the relevant standards
*dont* specify the exact size of an int: by not doing so, the compiler
vendor is free to use whatever sized int is 'natural' and/or most efficient
for the target CPU.
Sincerely,
Martin
