That's what I meant.  The compiler moans and groans about ints vs.
longs, but it still works (in DJGPP).

If there's one thing I know to pay attention to, it's those innocent-looking
warnings.  That's experience talking there.  :)  Did you ever notice how
many programs claim to have compiled without _errors_ on the latest
version of so and so, but conveniently fail to mention warnings...
