I believe the discussion was related to C99 as it appeared to change 
the definition from previous versions (or it did in the minds of the 
participants).  But, I hate to mention things like 'standards' 
because I haven't read them and I wouldn't understand them if I did.

OK, I give in.  It is no effort to create a 'datatypes.h' and this 
is the approach I have used before.  There is certainly good reason 
to get this squared away early.

Thanks to all!
