Thanks Marco, that fulfils my curiosity. :) On a side note: The reason I asked this question. I'm working on code with many Record types with fields of type Word, Smallint etc, than then some Cardinal fields got mixed in too. I would normally use LongWord instead of Cardinal to keep to a consistent naming convention. But from your comments Cardinal has a long history in Pascal.
