Mike: On 2-6 under Getting Started, it is alleged that to employ 16 bit ints all I need do is to #include <functions.h>. No longer do I have to worry about whether Amiga functions have their integral arguments typecast to longword size. No more Move (rp, (long) position, 12L);, etc. Can this be taken literally?
