Message: [QUOTE="Paul Eggert, post: 1677664"] I stated merely that platforms with narrower-than-16-bit int "are not of much interest these days to authors of a wide class of portable software." That much is undeniable, as I can cite a wide class of portable software that assumes 32-bit (or larger) int. Obviously there are still programmers interested in 16-bit-int processors. My hat's off to them, even if I don't choose to join their ranks. Conversely, though, it's silly to call a programmer "dumb" simply because he's not interested in porting his program to 16-bit-int processors. [/QUOTE]
