You are probably right about exec/types.h being used to help increase
portability of code, but personally, I think you may be making a mistake in
making those changes. For example, if you shift an unsigned byte, you have a
shifted byte but if you shift a signed character, lot'sa compilers willl sign
extend, so you don't get what you are after. You might be safe with the APTR
* void, but I would change back the stuff that is UBYTE etc. Just what I
think. sdb
.
P.S. (To use IntuiText etc. with manx, just do (UBYTE *)"Text". Same with
window titles, etc. Works fine for me…
