The size of an INT will probably be either 32 or 64 bits, depending > both on the size of an IV and the size of a pointer for the target machine. I am still confused by the purpose of INT. Making it a union will lose type safety. Why not just use SV directly? By the way, on OS/400, the pointer is 128 bit and may not be cast between int and void*. Hong
