these are the sizes in bytes for the variables in DJGPP:

char : 1
short : 2
int : 4
long : 4
long long : 8
float : 4
double : 8
long double : 12


this is the program I used to find them:

#include <stdio.h>

#define printsize(x) printf(#x);printf(" : %d\n",sizeof(x))

main()
{
printsize(char);
printsize(short);
printsize(int);
printsize(long);
printsize(long long);
printsize(float);
printsize(double);
printsize(long double);

}

Do you mean converting from Intel syntax to AT&T?  If so, visit
