Heck, they're just following in the footsteps of Sun and Java. Most programmers I've encountered have problems with the lack of definition of integral types in C ("How big is an int?" "It depends upon the architecture, but generally, an int is the native size of integers." "But how many bits?"). Then again, most programmers I've encountered have only programmed on one system---two if I'm lucky ("I've programmed under DOS *and* Windows!"). -spc (Who's having flashbacks when he was hired to help port the MajorBBS to Unix [1] ... ) [1] I didn't last long in that job.There's stuff above here
