On 28 Apr 1996 15:43:41 GMT, Nicholas Lynch shared with us these insightful words:
: But in DJGPP:

:   Variable         Size
:   ---------------------
:   int              4
:   unsigned int     4
:   long             4
:   ...

:  Is there any way of correcting this? (I belive that this problem cropped up
: earlier in thee newsgroup, but I didn't save the solution :( Or, should I
: just use a different data type instead of int?

It is not a problem.  I believe all gcc compilers use the correct value for
sizeof(int).  It is more or less standard.  If you want a 2-byte integer, use
short int.
