I don't suppose you could expand on that? The optional types in stdint.h don't seem to be int or long, for example. There doesn't seem to be a macro such as INT_BIT. And what do you do where stdint.h...

Many years ago I was wandering through some SNMP code trying to port it to a Rabbit 2000. I'd guess that not many are familiar with this device -- it's an 8-bitter, and I had no operating system or...

Since 1995. But I did dabble on and off since somewhere in the 80's. My rebirth...

I felt a grillin' coming -- you've seem to have been a little boxed up lately. [Perhaps even too restrained with our friend...
