Yes, it can be taken literally. The declarations in functions.h are now fully prototyped (a la ANSI), which means that the compiler will 'quietly cast' integral values which don't quite match, like when a short is passed but a long is expected. This is probably the niftiest thing the ANSI committee added to the language…. -Mike
