I've got to be the biggest idiot! I even wrote a one line program
[ ... (printf("%d\n", sizeof(long long)); ...] to determine the number
of bytes in a "long long". The printf produced an "8". Duh: 8x8=64!
Apparently, I "thought" 8x8=32 ... or a byte contained 4 bits ... :-(
Sorry to waste the bandwidth,
