i was porting to almost exactly that 15 years ago, except the 16bit
native type was missing, not the 32bit.
code has got a *lot* more portable in that time.
well, open source code -- let's see how long it takes before
M$'s *whole* application suite (and protocol stacks) are relatively
stable on *native* ia64 machines....
i really don't see M$ surviving the transition to native 64bit too well,
so we won't have to worry about *them* in 2038
oh, which machine? the elxsi64
